- 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.

This is mostly because men showing any sign of weakness is blown out of proportion by observers, not because we complain about it.
Right? I make one groan in the office because I'm aching due to food poisoning, and it's like I just emailed the entire floor to come make comments about me acting as if I'm dying.
... why are you in the office when you have food poisoning?
But of course you're likely in the US, so no need to say anything. You guys are fucked in that regard
My co-workers saw me turn almost sheet-white before spending the next 45 minutes throwing up in the company bathroom, trying to drive home and having to go to the ER halfway because I was throwing up and dehydrating so badly I could barely move my hands anymore
Even with a doctor's note management and HR were like "ok but did you have to call out sick the next day tho?"
I eventually quit a month or so later when they tried to write me up for not coming in while being sick after our entire delivery driver team (who only directly interact with me) all got sick and spent 3 weeks coming in and sneezing on me
Fuck the US
Yep, I'm sorry that happened to you :/
I'll say, a lot of people say food poisoning when they have any sort of nausea after eating. They should probably still go home, but the degree of sickness is not the same. What gamermanh describes is food poisoning. The 2-3 times I've had that in my life, I'd have preferred death for the ~6-10 hours it afflicted me. And I've had MANY kidney stones.
Nah. I worked all last week slinging mulch, rock and dirt with bruised ribs, because I'm a tough guy. One of those nights I got slight chills and crawled into bed like a sick puppy. I am in this meme.
