Too Scared to Ask the Bus Driver

Text on the meme

Me traveling to another city because I'm too scared to ask the bus driver to stop

What it means

A serious-looking man leans out of a moving bus window as the camera slowly zooms in, while the caption says he is traveling to another city because he is too scared to ask the bus driver to stop. The deadpan expression and escalating zoom make ordinary social anxiety feel absurdly catastrophic, amplified by the dreamy, slightly melancholic psychedelic-pop mood of Tame Impala’s “Borderline.” EN: A serious-looking man leans out of a moving bus window as the camera slowly zooms in, while the caption says he is traveling to another city because he is too scared to ask the bus driver to stop.
