Yes, my office invented this rule. I had to give my former brilliant para a job rec so talked to em and mentioned "You don't have to wear a mask at your desk but have to wear one if you take a step away" and em broke into hysterical laughter "Oh they have force fields?"
The only rules I think have to be lived with are "You don't have to wear a mask when something is going into your mouth" whether it be a dental appliance or food. Not because there's some sense that it's OK -- it's not -- but because you don't have a choice about covering your mouth in that instance. Reducing viral load helps.
