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.

There's truth in both your response and the post you're replying to. The seller did take the time to list the relevant information right there on the sign, but he didn't have to adopt this "OK idiot" attitude when the potential buyer started asking questions; because, while the buyer may be an idiot, there are a lot of idiots in the world, and we should err on the side of empathy instead of judgment. In this scenario, the seller is basically doing the "like I said..." thing that everyone p. much everyone unanimously hates. So, when the buyer asked his dumb questions, the seller should have simply answered them---after all, what is the buyer trying to do, ultimately? He's trying to sell the product; he should not be trying to correct someone's mental handicap (however minor or severe), because, if he made that his goal, he'd need the patience of a literal saint and all the time in the universe.
Lemmy nerds, man
