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.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

This kind of distills down to the "I suffer needlessly, so others should too" fallacy. Perhaps your food preferences aren't as health-critical as other people's, but I still think you'd be justified in demanding what you actually paid for more often. And you not doing so doesn't mean that other people are assholes. Really, I think the food preparer who is inclined to take everyone's food requirements less seriously merely because they get more food requirement requests is truly a real asshole, way before the person who realizes that framing their preference as a requirement more often gets them the respect that everybody's preferences deserve.

I literally said that I do get it corrected unless doing so is a huge inconvenience for me.

I don't lie about why I need special treatment.

I suspect that it only takes one or two situations where a near certain mistake which would be a huge inconvenience to correct is averted by lying before the average person begins feeling safer lying from the outset as a general rule.

I guess I'm more averse to lying then this supposed "average person" then.

I'm okay with that.
