Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

What I hate is the expectation that I am to be on standby for whoever calls me. All the time. Fuck that. Send a letter. Show some respect and have some patience. Communication with me is not a right. I'll not respond when I think its not important. And if you call me allot, it's never important. I do however get the heart attack feeling every time you do call.
Brother, what? Are you made of paper? Will an errant breeze threaten to blow you away?
Like, prefer whatever communication method you want, but really? Heart attack feeling? Come on, there's no way you're even coming close to jumping over a phone call.
And if you are, do you understand how to put your phone on vibrate/silent? This is such a non-issue
Some people have really bad anxiety especially around phone calls. Sometimes anxiety or a panic attack can feel like a heart attack.
Bro it's a fuckin figure of speech why are all of you people so butthurt about people not liking phone calls?
It's just hyperbole exhaustion at this point, probably. I don't mind it occasionally when making a point, but when it's wild hyperbole every time all the time, it's hard to trust what anyone says is even remotely true.
I only call my friends and family if it's time sensitive or urgent.
