This is an image macro meme consisting of two sections: upper text, and a still frame from the 2011 movie *Drive* below. The top text reads 'how I feel using my turn signals to indicate that I'm entering the turning lane when I barely see anyone else doing the same.' The image below shows Ryan Gosling as the stoic unnamed Driver character, sitting in the driver's seat of a car, gripping the steering wheel with a calm, serious, subtly smug expression. The joke comes from the relatable feeling of being proud of yourself for following basic road safety rules (using turn signals) that most other drivers neglect, making you feel like an exceptionally skilled, responsible driver even for performing a very basic required action.

A meme featuring a photograph of a valet parking sign positioned on a city street. The sign has a triangular base with 'NO STICK SHIFT VEHICLES' printed on the top horizontal section and 'VALET' in large vertical letters below, accompanied by a red circular parking symbol (P) at the bottom. An orange traffic cone is visible adjacent to the sign on the right. Above the image, there is a text overlay: 'Imagine being paid to drive cars and you can't drive cars.' The humor stems from the irony of valet attendants—whose job involves driving cars—apparently being unable to handle stick shift vehicles, as indicated by the sign.

The meme depicts a person dressed in a red The Flash costume—complete with a circular chest emblem and lightning bolt details—sitting in a wheelchair. The individual has a frustrated expression, with eyes closed and mouth downturned. Surrounding the person are bright yellow lightning effects, edited to appear as electrical energy. Above the image, bold text reads: 'When you press 'Disable flash' on your camera'. The humor relies on a pun: 'flash' refers both to the camera's flash function and the DC Comics superhero The Flash, implying that disabling the camera's flash metaphorically 'disables' the speedster, leaving him immobile in a wheelchair.
