Original memes

Every meme here is made from scratch with original text and layouts. Each one has a short note on the joke. New memes are added regularly.

Me, The It Guy

Me, The It Guy meme: User: "Nothing works!" Me: "Did you restart it?" User: "No." *restarts* "It works now!" Me, accepting the credit: "Yes, I fixed it."

The classic first question in IT support, and it works more often than anyone admits.

Every Morning

Every Morning meme: Alarm at 6:00: "Time to wake up." Me: "Five more minutes." Me at 6:45: "Why am I late?" The cycle continues: Every. Single. Day.

Five more minutes is the most optimistic phrase in the language.

9 Pm, A Promise

9 Pm, A Promise meme: Me: "I start my diet tomorrow." Me, 5 minutes later: *opens the fridge* Tomorrow never comes: The diet can wait.

Some plans are made in the evening and forgotten at the fridge.

Connected to the router does not always mean connected to the internet.

Password rules are a daily test of creativity.

1% Battery

1% Battery meme: Phone: "Please charge me." Me: "Just one more video." Living dangerously: No charger in sight.

Living on one percent battery is a lifestyle for some of us.

The Quick Sync

A classic line in software, and a classic reply.

Printers have a special talent for errors no one can find.

System Updates

The update that waits for the worst possible moment.

Too Many Tabs

Too Many Tabs meme: Me: "I will close a few tabs." Browser: 47 tabs open Me: "But I might need these." Memory usage: Fully spent.

A tab is a promise you never intend to keep.

The pause before pressing Send has saved many careers.

Monday

Some promises do not survive the morning.

Backups

Backups meme: Friend: "Do you back up your files?" Me: "Of course!" Me, as the disk fails: "I will start tomorrow." The lesson: Back up today.

The best time to back up is before you need to.

Waiting for a video to load builds character.
