TIFU by wearing a crab mask to the doctors office

Obligatory this happened last summer.

The behind the ear masks don't work well for me as they always fall down my face. So my wife made some with a band that goes around my head. She made me this mask early on in the pandemic. I had already worn it several places, and several people commented on it. I would just tell them it's so "people know not to get near me since I'm crabby." Always got a good laugh.

When I went in for my yearly physical last summer, I walked up to the front counter to checkin. There were two receptionists there. One started to take my info and get me signed in. Then they start talking quietly back and forth.

Receptionist 1: "He's got crabs."

Receptionist 2 gives her a death stare and says "You can't say that out loud"

Receptionist 1: "No, he's got crabs on his mask"

And we all awkwardly laugh.

TLDR: TIFU by not thinking through my mask choice before going to the doctor.
