HAS THE WHOLE WORLD / GONE CRAZY?!
A Walter Sobchak with gun post.
Someone in the office announces that the new process is "just a small change", and you are the only one who has read the document. It is eleven pages long. You say so, with the calm of a man who has been through it before. The group chat gets a screenshot of a "limited offer" that has apparently been limited since March. You are the only one who has noticed, and you say so, loudly, to a room that has stopped listening. Your flatmate swears the broken boiler is "basically fixed". It makes a noise like a trolley going down stairs. You stand in the hallway in a towel, quietly keeping the rules of a war no one else knew about. Someone kicks open the door to a meeting that was clearly marked as private. They are surprised to find people in it. You stay seated, hold your ground, and wait for the apology that is not coming. **Why it caught on:** the picture is a still of the character Walter Sobchak, played by John Goodman, in the 1998 film *The Big Lebowski*, waving a pistol in a bowling alley. Captioned "Am I the only one around here...", it became a way to complain about something that is plainly wrong and that everyone else is somehow ignoring, from Miley Cyrus to a crashing app, and it spread because the loudest man in the room is usually the one who is right.
