How to write this meme
Start with a mildly annoying real-life request people actually hear at work or school, keep the top text in the character’s overly polite voice, and let the bottom line stay short and almost cheerful so the contrast does the heavy lifting.
Caption zones
- Top text — Sets up the unreasonable, annoying, or overly polite request being made
- Bottom text — Delivers the signature understated closer that seals the passive-aggressive tone
