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.

Could it be "over another person"? Asshollery is kinda universal
This. The worst person I've ever worked with happened to be a woman. She was an awful human being.
That's odd because I don't often see men talk over other men at meetings, but women can't generally finish a sentence without a man trying to talk over her.
I don't know where you work but I have seen it all the time. There tends to be a whole back and forth. One thing I hate though is the folks who are like im not finished and your like ok finish and then they add nothing unique over what they already said.
The latter kind of person is the one who makes these sorts of memes.
In my experience of being the person who always gets talked over, women do it just as much as men :(
Record yourself speaking and you might see where you should improve. You might have long gaps, or unclear body language, or you're quiet, etc
Or tits.
Tits definitely help lmao
That's odd. I always see it the other way around and men don't speak up for themselves because the loud woman then tries to play this card, so everyone just has to take the abuse.
You can try say, "Bec, you need to let people finish, especially if they're answering you."
But a complaint will go to HR.
Funnily enough the organisation I frequently sub to is the diametric opposite of that - it’s normally the women telling the men to stfu and concentrate on the matter being discussed. Us men are a belligerent lot, though, but we do get the job done and none of us have nanked each other yet. Fingers crossed.
