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 know what you're talking about. I know a person, they're quite decent, but they cannot stop talking and there's no way for anyone else to contribute to the conversation. It's rather frustrating for most people and very disruptive to any kind of group communitacion. It also comes across as selfish. I don't think the meme is about such special rare cases though.

Yeah exactly my thoughts. Between work and friend circles and one niece, I know like a half dozen. I do find it really selfish because you either need to interrupt them (which is normally rude), or noone else gets a chance to say anything...

It can also be a cyclic issue. Some people have been on the receiving end of this, and decide to hold the “talking stone” for as long as possible with “um, and then, so, like” to prevent being cut off or interrupted.

Calm, orderly discussion where everyone’s given a chance to talk is harder to find, and promotes the right social behaviors where people are allowed to pause to plan their thoughts.
