The group chat goes quiet after you reply "per my last email" for the third time. Nobody has said a word since. You put the phone face down and feel, briefly, like a king.

Your landlord promises the boiler will be fixed "by Friday". It is now the third Friday. You send a thumbs up, a smile and a very short message with no punctuation at all.

The self-checkout announces an "unexpected item in the bagging area" for the fourth time. It is your own bag. A member of staff walks over, taps one button and leaves. You have never felt so personally judged by a machine.

Someone's work leaving card goes round the office with forty signatures, all saying "best of luck!" You write "good riddance to the printer, at least" and hand it on. Nobody laughs. The printer, somehow, never breaks again.

Why it caught on: the picture is a black-and-white, retro advertising-style illustration of a grinning man in a suit and striped tie raising his middle finger. It is drawn in the style of old mid-century ads, so the cheerful smile and the rude gesture clash. People captioned it with their moods, birthday greetings and angry messages aimed at whoever deserved them, and it spread because it says what you can't say at the time, with a big friendly grin.
