The classics, explained
Elmo Rise
You replied "I'm not saying anything, but..." in the family group chat and put your phone face down. It has buzzed 46 times. You are making toast. You are at peace.
Elmo Choosing Cocaine
The alarm is set for 6am, you have an early train, and the next episode starts automatically in five seconds. You don't even reach for the remote. You reach for the crisps.
The Count
ONE unread email. TWO unread emails. Back from a week off: 1,284 unread emails. Ah ah ah. Thunder rolls outside. It's only Monday. You count the days until payday.
Bertstrips
It's 2:47 in the morning. Your flatmate knocks gently and asks if you're awake. You're not, but you are now. He wants to tell you he's thinking of learning the saxophone.
Big Bird In Meeting
Week one of the new job. Someone says "let's circle back on the KPIs after the QBR". Everyone nods. You write "QBR?" in your notebook and underline it twice.
Cookie Monster
"Would you like to accept all cookies?" The website asks every single time. You click yes without reading. You'd accept anything. You'd accept a contract for a timeshare.
Devastated Elmo
You suggested the new Thai place. Everyone said "ooh, maybe". Then someone said "or the usual?" and the whole table cheered. You now eat at the usual, quietly, every Friday.
Elmo Nuclear Bomb
Someone in the office kitchen wrote "PLEASE wash your own mug :)" on a sticky note. The smiley face did it.
Elmo vs. Rocco
Your colleague insists the deadline is "totally doable" if everyone "just leans in". There are four days, nine deliverables and two people, one of whom is on holiday.
Ernie Whispers To Bert
At the wedding, during the speeches, the person next to you leans in and whispers "I give it two years". The groom is mid-sentence about forever. You have to sit there with that until the cake.
Oscar The Grouch
Someone at the bus stop says "lovely morning, isn't it?" at 7:15. It is not lovely. It is morning. You make a noise that might be a word.
Sesame Street Sign
Monday morning on the 7:42 train. Nobody on this carriage is awake. Someone is eating an egg sandwich, and it's somehow your fault. Group Project Close: five residents, one of whom does all the work.
