when you are behind someone at a cash machine gently kiss their neck to let them know you are not a threat
Overview
This is an absurdist sarcastic meme. Text at the top reads: 'when you are behind someone at a cash machine gently kiss their neck to let them know you are not a threat'. The illustration below shows a barefoot man in a green t-shirt standing extremely close behind a man in a blue suit who is using an ATM, kissing the back of the ATM user's neck while resting one hand on his shoulder. The humor comes from the extreme contradiction between the stated goal of signaling you are not a threat and the action described, which is actually highly invasive, creepy, and threatening, making the advice obviously absurd.
Origin notes
This meme was sourced from the Reddit:Meme RSS feed. It is a standalone original illustrated meme that plays on jokes about unwritten social etiquette rules for public spaces, particularly the expectation of giving people personal space when they are using an ATM to handle sensitive financial transactions.
