Story time:

The first time I took my driving test, the evaluator said ‘pull out of your parking space’, which I did very precisely, stopping at the street where the test started.

Then he said ‘turn right at this street’, so I did – and made the semi-truck coming down that road lay on his horn a bounce a bit to avoid hitting me. I failed before we even started.

I was so focussed on his instructions that I lost all situational awareness.

I took more classes, then spent a few years as a delivery driver, so I actually learnt to be a very good driver. But my first test was abysmal.

      I saw the screenshot on a meme site, so, meme? Whatever their definition of memes was, I am no meme expert.

        No. Is a screenshot of a news article a meme when it gets posted to a meme site?

        A meme requires recontextualization in some way.

          Didn’t I do that?

          Like the poster contextualised those posts, then I did a bit more? Or WDYM?

            No, there is nothing that puts those post in a new context, nothing that twists or turns the meaning of the posts, no new perspective. There is only more of the same context added.
