I've gained a super power since unmasking at the grocery store.
People now fall over themselves trying to get out of my way so I can only conclude that I've gained an aura of invulnerability that makes others afraid to come within a few feet of me.
Must be the power of mUH Freedom frightening them.
It isn't "my logic", it's well established infection control guidelines. I spent a decade in the OR, no one does it correctly. It's still wrong and one of the most common ways to auto-infect yourself.
You've moved to willfully ignorant at this point. Those wearing their masks for the entirely of their trip were the one doing it correctly.

Two questions though:
1 - if you're only donning and doffing a single time, why would it matter at all whether you do it at home before you leave or when you arrive at your destination?
2 - most cloth masks don't offer much personal protection, they're really to keep you from spreading to others right? Why would self infection be a concern in that case?

Between my beard and many car themed shirts, I think people just assume that I'm an unvaccinated anti-masker. Even when masking was in full effect, I had people creeping up on me, but now I get a wide berth. I'm loving the extra personal space.

1. Unless you stop someone in their car and ask them, you have no idea where they donned it or how many stops they're making. You don't need to don it at home, you don't need to doth it at home. You need to don before the first time you need it and after the last location.
2. Not sure what your question is. I didn't mention protection when discussing auto-infection. If you wear a mask in 3 or 4 stores, there's a possibility that mask has captured infectious material, from your own mouth or from the environment. In extreme cases, as zrickety has inadvertly pointed out, people not wearing or caring for masks correctly can end up with bronchitis, pneumonia, and other infections.
