Living in a time with a worldwide pandemic lurking at every corner, everyone is taking extra measures to keep the virus at bay.
While the adage “You can never be too careful” still rings true today, there are some who would still go to the extreme to protect themselves.
A lady in Singapore became an online sensation overnight when a photo of her wearing a plastic bag over her head as “additional protection” to supplement her face mask while riding the bus.
The photo went viral when ROADS.sg published it on their page with the following caption:
“Aunty, you scare[d] the daylights out of me. My urine nearly come out.”
The post has now garnered 1.6k likes and 883 shares, with netizens sharing their thoughts on the lady’s unusual method.
A netizen pointed out that there was an old man behind the lady who wasn’t wearing a mask, thus forcing her to put the plastic bag over her head.
Others poked fun at her over-the-top technique, with one comparing her to the serial killer Jason Voorhees.
Some, however, thought it was a dangerous wardrobe idea for young children and the lady herself, who could have suffocated.
What do you think about the woman’s choice of “protection”? Tell us in the comments!
