- 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.

Damn. First that guy behind him, now his wife?
Pffft, as if a builder would ever answer their phone!!
Idk. I only answer my phone for my wife and kids so it's possible.
I always have told my wife, (who has what I think is a phone call and texting addiction), that there are only 2 reasons to call me at work:
-
You've been in an accident. That happened one time in 40 years. And yes, I left work immediately and went to find them. Thankfully, no one was injured.
-
You or the kids have been hospitalized. That never happened.
And no, the death of someone was not a reason to call. I can't do anything for them now. So the news can wait.
This is how he found out the kid wasn't his but a lawyer's.

I expected computer programmer.
As someone working in construction who just re-bid a project that was initially supposed to finish being built last year, I can say it's also applicable.
"Sorry, but we'll have to spill this over to the next sprint."
"Yes Kyle. Now get to your pickup truck parked in a pedestrian crossing with a high-vis vest jammed in the window, and come pick me up."
Wow. 2 people must park like an asshole, qnd did NOT like your comment...
