Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

I suffer from this at work, I work at a mechanic shop. It's difficult sometimes trying to gauge your customer and where is appropriate to be on the scale of auto mechanic < - > five year old who has never seen a car. Most people are in like the 35%-65% auto mechanic range, but you get some outliers. Especially with older folks I'll find myself worrying if I sound condescending trying to explain something.
