Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’re here for laughs, not fights.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.
Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Implying the user doesn't freak out and frantically takes control of the mouse every 5 seconds.
Or that they are even there to accept the remote request for their urgent issue that is 100% stopping them from completing a deadline yesterday
My users are so good, I’m very lucky.
So. Fucking. Lucky.
You'll probably hate me for saying this, but when I worked in an office, I often pretended to be stupid when it came to IT stuff.
Sometimes it's nice to have a little break on the company's dime. I get that it's annoying, but on the plus side, it helps prevent management from making unnecessary and existentially threatening cuts to the IT department.
Boomer boss gets the importance of the IT guy replacing the deskjet printer so they can print off a 100 page colour manual on how the company's 'going green'. They don't understand the IT department fixing something like sievelike data security. That's a problem for after the shareholder meeting, if anyone ever finds out.
It's a bit like how I'm not great at scanning stuff at the self-scan tills and make mistakes. Don't want it to be too profitable to replace a cashier with a machine. Everyone's got bills to pay.
I used to do IT support, so now I sometimes pretend to be an idiot outside of work too. "Mom's friend Sarah has an issue with windows and wants me to help fix it for free? Sorry, I only know how to use the apples."
