Human Factors
Passengers in XX3/4 repeatedly removed their mask during flight. Male passenger in XX3 removed his mask twice during the flight and had to be told to put it back on. He also removed it during deplaning. I had to make an announcement and he also put it back on. Passenger in XX4 removed his mask 3 times during the flight. When I first noticed his mask off I asked him to pull it backup and he did. (Gaiter style mask). During takeoff while I was in my jumpseat he removed his mask again. I decided to wait until the chime to ask him to pull it up again. However; it appeared the passenger behind him had asked him to pull his mask back up and he was starting to argue. (I was unable to hear the actual conversation.)  In order to prevent conflict/escalation I got up and told him he needed to put his mask back on. He did. After service; (he did not eat or drink) during trash pick up - I noticed he had his mask under his nose. When he saw me looking at him he pretended to be asleep. I called the pilots and told them I need to issue a notice to the passenger and told them what seat. I went back and handed him the notice and he pulled his mask back up when I 'woke' him. I came back a few minutes later to make sure he was still complying and retrieve the card. He looked shock and made gestures asking me why I had given it to him. I told him that he needed to keep his mask on. He sarcastically pulled it up to his eyes and asked if that was OK. I said yes; took the card and left. There was no additional interaction for the rest of the flight. The Captain called and asked if the issue was resolved and we told him yes.
