- 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).

I initially thought this was about people being pretentious assholes at parties.
The comments suggest it is about sensory issues.
I can relate to both, but I’m surprised on the majority take here.
"Sensory issues" as in, can't hear what someone is saying. Why would a pretentious asshole keep asking someone to repeat themselves?
I was thinking the person talking is pretentious and repeating themselves. So the listener might sarcastically ask to hear about it some more (or throw themselves out of a window.)
Ah, the other person is pretentious! Got it :)
I have no idea, but this comic just got so much funnier to me
I can't hear anyone talk in a room with a bunch of people talking. I used to feel bad about this but now I simply don't care. If I don't get it the first time I just tell them I'm sorry I can't process individual speech in a room full of conversation. I've wasted enough of my life worrying about it.
