Origin notes

This meme is likely created by adding a sarcastic text overlay to a photograph of a real meeting room with a dog. The original photo may have been taken in an office setting, and the text was added to create a relatable joke about workplace inefficiencies. Such memes commonly circulate on social media platforms like Reddit, Twitter (X), or Instagram, where users share humorous takes on office culture.

This is a relatable workplace meme structured as a POV (Point of View) scenario. At the top, text sets up the situation: 'POV: you're finally starting the task you said you started a week ago and the document says "request access"'. The image below is a collage: an empty modern office space with ergonomic chairs and a wooden table forms the background, overlaid with a standard 'You need access' pop-up window (from a corporate document sharing platform, offering options to request access or switch accounts, with a message input field and 'Request access' button). In the foreground, the face of a stressed, wide-eyed Shiba Inu (a popular reaction meme dog, often associated with anxious or caught-off-guard feelings) is placed, looking directly at the viewer. The humor stems from the relatable experience of procrastinating on a work task, then being confronted with an unexpected barrier that exposes the delay, combining the anxious dog's expression with the frustrating, timely hurdle of needing access to the document. The meme captures the panic and embarrassment of being caught putting off work, paired with a common workplace tech frustration.

This meme draws a humorous parallel between modern Zoom remote meetings and 19th century seances. It features a vintage illustration of a group of people sitting around a round table conducting a seance, paired with text that opens with the joke premise that Zoom meetings are modern seances. It then lists common phrases spoken during Zoom calls when an attendee has audio issues: asking if someone wants to join, calling for an absent attendee named William, saying they cannot hear him, and asking if he can hear them. The joke relies on the similarity between attempting to contact unresponsive spirits during a seance and attempting to reach unresponsive attendees with technical difficulties on remote calls.
