Every time someone runs late you plot to squish them in the elevator
Text content
He's running late. Now, make sure someone gets on the elevator at every floor and squishes him into the corner
Overview
This is an image macro meme. The top text reads "He's running late. Now, make sure someone gets on the elevator at every floor and squishes him into the corner". Below the text is a still of the character Christof from The Truman Show, who is resting his chin on his hand, wearing a communications headset, and looking upward with a scheming, plotting expression. The joke leans into relatable petty, exaggerated annoyance at people running late, framing the petty desire to inconvenience them as an evil orchestrated plan, matching the character's canonical role as the all-controlling creator of Truman's fabricated world.
Origin notes
This meme was sourced from the Reddit:Meme RSS feed, originally posted with the title "Every single time". The reaction image used is a frame from the 1998 comedy-drama film The Truman Show, featuring Ed Harris as the character Christof, which is a widely used meme template for content depicting someone scheming or arranging a targeted plan. This meme fits the common format of pairing the scheming Christof image with text describing petty, overblown, hyper-specific plans.
