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.

I used to be terrified as a kid if using the phone, then I ended up with a job in a call center. Three times.

Ugh. Still have nightmares about it, 15 years later. But! No longer afraid of the phone. It's something that you need to practice with though.

I think a call center would be very intimidating for me. The onslaught of calls from different people, all grumpy, sounds a bit much. I guess it's a range or a spectrum or whatever. Still it's a generational thing though and the floor is way lower than it was pre-Covid IMO. Like it's normal to have some anxiety but you can't go your whole career terrified of phone calls. It's just really annoying and weird.

I'm getting flamed in this other thread about returning to office and it's so frustrating. All the haters over there are the same people terrified of phone calls like the girl in this comic, all want full remote, all terrible communicators.
