People do not want to be told what to do. They do not want to be inconvenienced.

Personally I hated wearing a mask. it was a huge pain in my ass, and mostly unnecessary most of the time except on public transit or in like a very crowded place like a grocery store.

If wearing a mask is a pain in your ass then you're wearing it wrong.

Depends, a lot of people talk out their ass. :P

Where exactly were you wearing a mask other than crowded public places? Nobody ever told you to wear it at home.

In my country, there was a mask mandate in all enclosed areas except private residences, even when you were the only person there.

In what non private residence enclosed places are you alone? I can't think of any. Are you talking about hotels or... Because yea that would be ridiculous. But also, since you're alone it's not like anyone can enforce the mandate or even know you're not following it.

In my case, it was a hackerspace. It has windows to the street, so if the police would have happened to go along the street and see that, they could have intervened.

There was one report in the newspapers where they fined a small card playing organization due to that, but of course they were a group of people.
