When What and Must Use Stairs

Text on the meme

When “what” and “must” have to use the stairs

What it means

A short video shows two casually dressed people separately navigating a bright red stairwell, passing each other on the landings before disappearing. The joke treats “what” and “must” as if they were people forced to use the stairs, while Vince Guaraldi Trio’s playful jazz tune “Linus And Lucy” gives the awkward procession a whimsical, chaotic cartoon feel. It works as a reaction to being inconvenienced or having to take an unnecessarily difficult route. objects not applicable
