When I travel on the train I tend to choose the idle study of a particular facet of life around me: Today I chanced upon the endless varieties of mask-wearing. The Fully Unmasked. The Supported Chin. The Underlined Nose. The Flap-at-Elbow. The Fashion Thong. The Fully Masked.

Supported chin and underlined nose are called chin diapering and nose-dicking in the US

Excellent! Thanks. I’m glad to see that the patterns I see here aren’t just local practice.

It’s fun to observe the impact of mask style on seating choices. The fully masked try and sit next to other fully masked people. There’s a similar pattern to the fully unmasked. The Fashion Thongs also tend to flock. And then you have the Rock-Paper-Scissors of Chin, Nose, Elbow
