      When I see that a company uses them, my stomach drops and I start evaluating if I really need that item or not.

        They’re great if you want something delivered 7 months from now. If it even makes it out of Germany.

    Is this comedy, or cross-cultural miscommunication? “I’m afraid,” leaves half the thought unexpressed. It relies on a cultural understanding of being afraid of the shame of saying, “no,” to someone.

        Grammatically it’s a full sentence, but part of the information intended to be conveyed is missing from that sentence. The person is not just stating, “I’m afraid.” Something about being unable to fulfill a request is making them afraid.

          Do you always disect jokes to the point where there’s no humor left in it?

          I guess that’s not surprising for someone who’s name means a dangerous, predatory person that kidnaps women while high.

        It’s comedy, but it’s not comedy heaven.

        In order to be comedy heaven it has to be a victim of comedy homicide. There is no homicide here, just a naturally funny situation.

        It’s a funny post but in the wrong place.

          If there’s one thing I learned on reddit, it’s that every community becomes homogenous once “close enough” posts are allowed so I completely approve of your criticism
