I am generally pretty sanguine about wearing a mask in public spaces but a small yet persistent annoyance that keeps plaguing me in these mask-wearing times is that I keep buying not-good apples. I am usually quite good at selecting apples but my method relies on both touch and smell, and now I can't smell the apples before I buy them. It's frustrating.

I will admit to briefly tugging down my mask to smell things when necessary. I probably wouldn’t have pre-vaccine, but these days a brief unmasked moment seems like an acceptable risk.

Same. I didn't do it pre-vaccine, but as long as there aren't other people nearby, I'll risk a quick sniff.

That's a good idea - I'll try that next time.
