Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’re here for laughs, not fights.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.
Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Still can't beat working from home in my pajamas.
First working day in office for couple months, was so fucking shit having to wear pants and shoes on desk
And getting up earlier to do all the other pre-work bullshit. Getting home later...
And during the wintertime, only experiencing daylight through the office window at work
You guys get windows??? There's only one in my entire building with call center style seating arrangements. It's hard to focus on anything when you can hear three different conversations going on.
Tell your boss daddy I said hi
You know the Vice Chancellor?
In this weather? Fuck that, wearing shorts.
Shorts are not business "professional". They are only considered "casual"... not business casual... just casual.... Skirts, on the other hand, those are professional.
ok, I am wearing shorts regardless. If they really want me wearing a skirt then fuck it I will start crossdressing at work if necessary. It is too fucking hot to wear long trousers, especially as I cycle to work.
I like to separate my work and living space.
I do not have the luxury of separate spaces.
As long as you don't have a shit commute, its alright. My last job after 5 years of fully remote ordered us to start commuting to an office the company didn't even own when I joined.
When I joined the office was a 20 min bike ride away, they moved it to multiple hours of bus, ferry and train travel and then acted surprised when I handed my notice in later that week.
New role is 25 min bike ride and only the very last 200m or so of it is shared with cars, the rest is on a really nice bike route.
Same here with my commute.
Bus is about 25min
Bike can be done (depending on how much I follow traffic rules and traffic in general) in 15-20 minutes. (Also the bus is a hell hole during summer. Both in heat and smell)
Ahh, those fun little games of how little will I respect traffic and traffic laws today!
During lockdowns I heard this from so many people. I can't say I get it, because I just associate WFH with my work laptop and work notebook, and if I've got those tucked in a backpack well I'm no longer working.
Yeah I'm not sure what convinces people to think like this, other than they really just hate their job.
At which point yeah, I guess I get it
My husband will tell everybody this. He will insist it’s so hard to walk away from work when it’s at home. He hasn’t worked out of his home in 15 fucking years! He couldn’t do it if he tried! He’s just being fucking stupid around people that have to do it. I told him he’s free to go get a job outside the home. Then all of a sudden, oh no, no no.
Just a preventative mental health precaution
It also helps me to maintain my social skills so they wont completely deteriorating.
Keep in mind that everyones mind works differently.
I dislike homeoffice strongly. Too much potential distractions.
I like it as an option though. But I can't imagine myself having to be home 5 days of the week dealing with my tickets alone.
And sometimes a bit of company is nice :)
Everyone's different like you say. I like company too but most of the time it's distracting/unpleasant.
It was actually so great to be able to say to people during lockdowns "how you're feeling right now is how I feel every single day of my working life." Those lockdowns were some of the first times I actually got to enjoy working.
You don't need a separate room, just setup some boxes in a dedicated corner. You could even go out and get a coffee or something if you need a little extra to set yourself in work mode.
When you work at home you live at work.
