lol. I can understand it. I was working in the basement on something
with my dust mask on. I kept coming back up stairs to watch the game.
pretty soon I was used to being upstairs with the mask on too. I can
see how this can extend further and further beyond the workbench.
especially when you are going to get one quick piece.

It's when you forget your pants that they get upset.
Sounds like you have a good dust mask. What do you use?

Depends on the car. In my Vette, it's small enough that you can see
the edge of your head when the mirror is adjusted properly, depending
on seat position.

adjusting the mirror down a little... or in the reflection of the window...
in the reflection of the HD doors..

LOL, no, but in the processing of scratching my nose I think I might notice

I already pointed that out... apparently you and I are the only two people
who see ourselves in our mirrors. :\
I don't know, I too have gone out still wearing my dust mask, although not
on my face but hanging around my neck. My safety glasses too, most all of
the time I'll run out with them on, they are prescription so I don't usually
notice. Lowes is about 5 min down the street from me and I know they notice
me. I haved walked in wearing sweats and looking like a bum many times!
Have you noticed that the "SELECT" wood they sell means you have to spend
hours "selecting" a straight piece? Now that my shop is ready for sawdust
making I need to find a mill, I can go to Woodcraft but wheeeeew those
prices!

I have an old pair of black sweats I wear in the shop that have a huge hole in
the rear. I put them on when applying finishes then usually take them right off.
The hole isn't normally a big deal because I usually wear boxers and never wear

I knew this person of the female persausion who would atack rear veiw
mirrors everytime she got in a car. This attack was a violent move of the
mirror to position it so she could 'adjust" her makeup. She destroyed a lot
of mirrors. And a lot of folks ended up hating her for it. But this wasn't
a problem for her. As long as her made up face was perfect.
After I had to reattach my mirror two times, I got a big mirror to go on the
visor. And an air horn. If she even started to touch my rear view mirror, i
let her have it with the air horn. Soon she started to use the other
mirror.
And she looked much better without all the makeup too.

I haven't left the dust mask on, but I take off with my safety glasses all the
time...
Probably because I wear glasses for distance so I'm used to feeling glasses when
I drive.. *g*

Remind me to never drive in your town. If you didn't see yourself in
the mirror at least once, you weren't paying NEARLY enough attention
to be a safe driver.

Naaa.. I'm buying it.
After spending a couple of days installing some countertops at The Holiday Inn,
I got used to wearing my hardhat. Whenever I pulled up to the site, on it went.
I stopped by the grocery store on the way home, and promptly put on my hardhat
as I left my van.
It wasn't till some shopper looked up to read my company logo that I realized I
had it on my head.
No harm done. My mother says the hat makes me look smart... and I can use all
the help I can get in that department.

I also tried to remove my earmuffs when the phone rang the other day...I wasn't
wearing them. Got a handful of ear. A WTF moment.

The point of the rearview mirror is to look behind you, not at
yourself. If you can see yourself in the mirror, you're using it
wrong.

Nah, you're not alone. I see lots of make-up being put on while
driving, with the mirror adjusted to reflect the driver rather than
the traffic behind. Not convince that makes them safer drivers,
though! <g>
