Have you ever unknowingly broken some unwritten social rule?

It’s kind of hard to RTFM when you were never given one to begin with.

I once asked for a plastic straw at one of those progressive 'farmers' markets' where no-one is actually a farmer. Their passive-aggressive determination to accede politely to my request, while registering disapproval, was a joy to behold.

This is the sort of faux pas that can get you drummed off Mastodon.

@autism101 @actuallyautistic So many times… I just mind my own business, and suddenly, I’m plucked out and punished.
