The rules are simple:

- 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.

The people who zone out will do so in person as well. I am that person.
Why?
Gee I wonder why, really...
Me too. I wonder. Using direct quotes and not interpretations, can you say why?
I will be quoting myself then. You come off as arrogant and non empathetic and just generally an asshole.
How so? If I’m in a meeting, I give my peers the attention that I would want them to give me.
Is this a bad thing?
It’s pretty clear from this thread that people are telling you you’re an asshole based on how you treat other people, directly reflected by your first couple of comments in the chain. To ignore your own earlier behavior and instead goad an argument is simply more evidence that you’re the type of person that generally sucks to work with.
What was my behavior? Using quotes, not interpretation.
Literally told you. Don’t have to quote. Read my comment again and use basic logic
You don’t like that I feel a person should give their peers the same respect that they would want from them.
Got it.
Sure, yeah, that must be it. No need to self-reflect any further.
I was off somewhere else very pleasant, heard your voice, and got ripped back here. Sorry I’m not really paying attention to this meeting, and I’m not really sure where in the thread we are at this point.
Obviously that’s acceptable to you, so I know you’re cool with it. I’m gonna go back to dreamland. Nothing you say is important or relevant to me anyhow.
😇
keep diggin’ that hole
You mean you’re upset I’m not paying attention anymore 😱
Good on you for having the supernatural ability of arbitrarily assigning how much attention you want to give to something!
Unfortunately, that’s not how regular human brains work.
Ahh yes. The golden rule. Too much for “regular humans.” That explains a lot about how the world works.
Someone is an asshole for accurately describing an adhd symptom?? Lol. I have adhd and my most debilitating symptom is zoning out. You are actually insulting adhd people AND trying to claim moral superiority. Hilarious.
It took a lot of back and forth for them to finally bring that up. They were using it as a weapon, which is in appropriate. They weren’t bringing it up as an exception.
I get it. You see all the downvotes, don’t read any of the comments that led up to this one, pick the one thing that impacts you, and make it all about yourself.
There is no moral superiority here. No one is winning anything. No one is a better person.
I’ll go back to my original statement before blocking you as well:
Some people are not able to work from home. Some people don’t pay attention during meetings. If you have a disability that impacts your ability to focus, that’s something you can handle with your coworkers. However, if you are, as they say, a “normal person,” (funny you were ok with that, I wasn’t) you should give your peers respect and pay attention.
Goodnight (blocked)
Lol. Blocked? Oh no! I'm never going to talk to this asshole again. ):
…what? How did you even assume all of that from two comments? You sure you’re replying to me and not to the strawman in your head? I haven’t said a single one of the things you’re accusing me of.
Funny, that’s been happening to me all day. Yet that’s how I’ve interpreted your words. Oh well.
Blocking now. Adios.
Lmao. You really can’t make this shit up.
I hope you understand you are a horridly toxic human being and nobody in life respects you :D
Also...I can smell the middle management on you. Its palpable.
Elaborate.
Also, I’m not middle management 🤷♂️
Or what...gonna write me up? Cry to the real boss?
Come on, let it out.
