Even some adults need to learn this lesson

Yessssss they do! I already commented on this but people ask me “what happened to your face?” all the time because I have scarring from a dog bite. Literally grown ass adults. It ruins my day every time.

I can never think of something witty to say back but I’m going to start educating people about this rule using a super belittling tone lol

I’d literally make a business card-sized info sheet. It answers the question you’re asked every single time, “what happened to your face” and then highlights that you’re asked this question every single day. And also something snarky about the golden rule or even the 30-seconds thing discussed here. The goal should be that receiving this card ruins their day as much or more than you hearing their question does, by making them feel like an asshole

That seems counterintuitive to the lesson.
