The Least Useful Guide to Fukuoka

As my little revenge against the vexing and frightening non-masked people in public places, I have decided to cough in a rather theatrical manner when I　pass by them. 

I have been frightened  by runners, cyclists and walkers without masks since last spring. Some of them even speak loudly on the phone or with their companions who do not cover their mouth and nose. To me they look boasting how "special" they are, not having to cover their mouth not realizing how hazardous  what they are doing. As anyone, including myself, could be a "carrier" of COVID-19, anyone could infect others and anyone could get infected. 

When such people approach me, I used to try to turn my face away from them in attempt to minimize the amount of air I had to share with them. 

But recently I began to feel  its not fair that its always me who has to feel uncomfortable and frightened. I want them to share the sense of fear I feel. 

I hope my little campaign will help them realize that they also could breathe in something unpleasant unnecessarily because of their negligence.  

Which came first: they realize their idiotness, or I get get kicked out of public places?
