Don't Call Me When I Only Use My Phone For Memes

Relatable joke about primarily using phones to browse memes instead of receiving voice calls
Overview
This meme uses a still from the TV series Yellowjackets with added text to deliver a relatable humorous joke. The top text reads 'when you only use your phone for memes', and the bottom text overlaid on the image reads 'Who the fuck is this?'. The base image shows a young woman with a confused, annoyed expression holding a vintage landline phone receiver to her ear next to a wall-mounted rotary phone. The gag references the modern trend of people primarily using smartphones to browse content like memes rather than make or receive voice calls, leading to confusion and frustration when they get an unexpected incoming call from an unknown number.
Origin notes
This meme was originally posted on Reddit's r/memes subreddit under the original title 'Don't call me'. The base visual is a screencap from the Showtime drama series Yellowjackets, featuring the character Young Natalie Scatorccio portrayed by actress Sophie Thatcher. Text overlays were added to the existing show still to create the meme, which later circulated across other social media platforms including Twitter/X, TikTok, and Instagram.
