He hopes you get angry and confront him so he can either tell you off more or report you to management. Best to just ignore him.

This guy is probably just a power hungry tool, BUT you truly never know what someone is going through. There's no need to flex on him and call up management.

There are bad apples on both sides of the coin. Are there bus drivers that make you hold on for dear life? Yes. Are there pilots that maliciously comply with the mask rule? Definitely. I just flew with a guy that would walk around holding his mask and if someone questioned him he would hold it up to his face. Either way, for the 99-percent of the workforce that doesn’t actively make problems for each other, like another poster above said, just laugh about it later while you make draft money after a freezing rain thunderstorm pounds Memphis during a launch.

My mask was off for about 2 seconds to unlock my phone. I had already replaced it by the time he finished yelling to the back of the bus. I can assure you that I wasn’t offended enough to waste my own time running this up the flag pole. I simply said, “thanks for the ride, have a nice morning” and then I got off the bus and went about my day, I’m in complete agreement with you.
He was yelling, “mask on. Get your mask on” in a very authoritative tone. It wasn’t even necessarily personal in any way. I would caution him that at 4am someone is going to be tired and irate and maybe less patient and based on his tone and body language I could see it taking an unwanted turn.
Just my $.02

Yeah but what about the zombies? No judgement on your part concerning zombies? That part must be factual then.
