When style experts predicted the sartorial trends of 2020, they probably didn’t anticipate that the hottest new accessory would be the face mask.
Thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic, however, masks have suddenly become widespread, as public health officials recommend people wear one if they’re unable to socially distance. So naturally, people are tweeting about the highs and lows of facial coverings.
We’ve rounded up 31 funny and relatable tweets about our new mask-wearing reality. Enjoy!

bless u covid, a true feminist ally
I do NOT expect people to jog with their mask on, just to keep their distance. Can’t have people dropping like flies from their own morning breath.

I wish I was smart enough to realize the worst idea is to carefully apply red lipstick then put on a mask. Not one person saw my lipstick & when I took the mask off I look like I had feverishly blew someone I liked. Which brought up other feelings
Bye 4 now,
Nicole
My god enough with the face mask selfies

COVID Parenting Tip: Train your children to loudly ask, "Why isn't that person wearing a mask? Are we going to get sick?" when in public.

The upside about a face mask is it catches your snot when you're outside and your nose is running because you forgot to take your antihistamine

This is interesting— You know how your breath smells like diarrhea when your mask is on? It’s because your breath smells like diarrhea

Do you think maskless runners in Manhattan look at toddlers wearing masks and think “Thank you for wearing a mask so I don’t have to”?
— Allana Harkin (@AllanaHarkin) May 16, 2020
I keep seeing couples where the woman is wearing a face mask and the man isn't, even in the supermarket. That's all. Thank you for listening to my feminist manifesto.

A fun thing to do when you’re wearing a face mask in public is talk like Bane
— Imani Gandy ☄️🌏🔥 (@AngryBlackLady) April 4, 2020
When I wear my face mask I like to think I look like a ninja. A tired, stressed, and vacant eyed ninja.
— WTFDAD (@daddydoubts) May 14, 2020
I just find it funny that the same people who refuse to wear masks in public are the same ones who insist we cover our babies with a hot blanket to breast feed.
— Sassparilla (@Megatronic13) May 18, 2020
Every time I get pissed about everything happening I make masks.

Mailed off my 370th mask today.
I’ve never worn a mask before and it’s becoming comfortable, like a warm blanket of stay the hell away from me.

Idk how Bane does this shit. Just thinking of fighting Batman with a mask on is making me sweat.
