    I have coworkers who hug on success. They’ll look over at my desk and do little air pats.

    Honestly the the first time had people respect that. 🙏

        I think the implication is that she is his girlfriend and he just wants to break up.

        Which is a bit weird, because look at that t-shirt. She’s clearly marriage material.

        That was how I read it at first too, but she at least implies that she is his “quirky girlfriend” depending on how you interpret it.

          Time and place, my guy. One, you didn’t mark this as NSFW, and two this isn’t a NSFW community.

            NSFW tags are only available for posts, not comments. He did use the spoiler tag and mentioned that it contains NSFW content. But as some said, some clients don’t interpret them correctly which isn’t really his fault (one would assume that to work consistently…)

              1. TIL you cannot NSFW tag a comment. Thank you.
              2. No not originally he didn’t, when I replied there was nothing but the image itself. Spoiler tags work on my client but this wasn’t spoilered.

              Bad joke in the wrong place. It’s clearly stated in the community that NSFW content like that is prohibited. That allows people to expect not to randomly run into porn when they don’t want to. Yet here you are shoving porn into people faces against their will. “Other people like it” is not an excuse for selfishness like this.

              You say “sry” but you still don’t remove your comment and the fact you don’t even bother to spell out the word belies that sentiment. I hope you see how bafflingly rude you’ve been here.

                Because no one thinks someone is gonna take a stupid Image this seriously. I’m really sorry I broke the rules I didn’t bother to read, but I’m honestly not sorry you’re pissed. You can do as your username suggests. chill lol. Imagine getting yourself worked over the rules of an internet community.

                  You’re missing the point. I’m not chastising you because of the rule alone.

                  I already said this before:

                  That allows people to expect not to randomly run into porn

                  Do you think everyone is okay with just having porn on their phone out in public?

            Not my fault for them not working everywhere. But yeah, it is my fault for not reading community rules. Sry.

              Thanks for owning it. Didn’t see this blowing up in the way it did, and deleting was probably the best call. Tbf I chuckled, but also knew this wasn’t the right place for it. No pearls were clutched, but images like that are for my OTHER account.

            No, it was a heavily pixelated low quality poster with some nude girls and the caption ‘Invasive Assholes’.

      I couldn’t figure it out

      Like the very worst reading of it would have someone thinking the author is… well I don’t want to say because I don’t believe it

      .

      Maybe you can hear someone thinking “incel” even though highly doubt

        I mean, the issue is that this is clearly from a webcomic that no one here reads. And web comics typically have huge amounts of lore about their characters and relationships that can’t be conveyed in a single image. Maybe it actually is funny, if all of us had read the last 1000 pages of the web comic leading up to this… But we didn’t. So we are left with two possible, not mutually exclusive scenarios:

        1. This comic sucks.
        2. OP sucks, for posting a comic that requires more context than anyone here has.

          He’s well dressed

          Has nice pleats

          Meanwhile she’s actually wearing that dumb shirt? The one that has narwhal bacon on the back presumably

          Theory approved

          Edit: oh, he came home drained from work to her in her comfy clothes and he loves to tease her?

      A lot of guys do hate their girlfriends, and view them as sex dispensers and maids.

      Being trans didn’t even help me escape. It really fucking sucks at the end of a 7 year old relationship to finally understand that you were there to make his peepee feel good and clean up after him while he plays vidya. Difficult for me to even believe love exists lol.

        That blows. Being in a relationship has been the hardest experience of my life. I’ve had to step up in a lot of ways, and so has my SO. But we’re both happy together and are in it for the long haul.

        You deserve someone that chooses to improve themself for you!

    Either she’s his girlfriend and he’s just a complete asshole, or she’s his girlfriend and he’s being a sarcastic jackass(this is the only “good” scenario), or she’s a clingy type who calls herself his girlfriend even though he’s not into her at all and he’s either set boundaries she ignores or he just doesn’t really care if she invades his space like that.

    No matter what, this comic sucks.

    I’ve always wanted a tv episode or something that works out like this; a long lead-up of “Why doesn’t he notice she’s interested in him?” ending with the guy finally stating he’s just not interested.

      Imagine how it would be if some random secretary in your workplace would do as she did. Imagine the same with opposite sexes.

      I think the depressing part is to see the own expectations and how these comics are feeding them. He has the right to not like the person and she has no right to touch him without his permission

        Why did you assume the female is a secretary? That’s not a common title anymore.

        Why do you think people are hugging each other at work? We’re not.
