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.

Gen X here, only had a smartphone 5 years as before I was avoiding it. Typing is painful. Just answer the phone and we'll get that query sorted in less time than I would take to type the initial question. Don't be a big baby about it.

Millennial here and totally agree. There are times I don't feel like talking and I simply don't answer. How hard is it to answer normally though? If it's not during work hours... If I'm busy I just call back. No idea why this is a weird awkward thing for so many

If it was not important enough to type it out, you can tell me next time we meet. I'll stop answering your call after the second nonsense call you make.

Such a sense of entitlement. You're not royalty.

Nor are you entitled to anyone else's time or attention.

I never said if someone doesn't answer they're an asshole. Unlike what you're saying about incoming phone calls.

Your loss, I was phoning you to offer you something that would make your life better or more entertaining.

I hate typing too but having to answer a phone call triggers PTSD. NOPE.

If it's genuine PTSD then you have my every sympathy and I hope that you can get some peace from it.

Nobody I'm calling have anything worse than lazyitis.
