How the accidental touch protection feature on my phone feels after doing absolutely nothing:
Overview
This animated relatable meme jokes about the common experience of smartphone accidental touch protection failing to prevent accidental pocket presses. It personifies the non-functional accidental touch protection feature as Maui from Moana, who struts and dances around smugly saying 'What can I say except "You're welcome"' despite having done absolutely nothing to stop unintentional screen taps when the phone is in a user's pocket. The joke highlights how the feature often acts like it did great work even when it completely fails to do its job, which is a frustratingly relatable experience for most smartphone users.
Origin notes
This meme was originally posted to Reddit as a relatable everyday tech complaint meme, with the original post title 'Still accidentally press stuff while its in my pocket'. It uses animated footage of the character Maui from Disney's 2016 animated film Moana, taken from his iconic 'You're Welcome' musical number, to frame the joke.
