When I use my mom's phone relatable Tom and Jerry meme

This is a 4-panel relatable meme using clips from the classic animated series *Tom and Jerry* to joke about the near-universal experience of borrowing a parent's phone and finding all settings adjusted to extreme levels. The header text at the top reads "When I use my mom's phone". The first panel shows Tom struggling under harsh bright light, labeled "Brightness", referencing how many parents keep their phone brightness set extremely high. The second panel shows Jerry being crushed under a heavy object, labeled "Volume", poking fun at parents often keeping phone volume at maximum level. The third panel shows a giant version of Jerry next to a tiny, intimidated Tom holding a small weapon, labeled "Font Size", joking that parents set their phone font size to be extremely large for visibility. The fourth panel shows Tom running away at top speed, labeled "Notifications", referring to the constant flood of unread notifications parents usually have on their phones. The meme is originally titled "It's an international problem" because this experience is common across different countries and cultures.
