The ever-flourishing 'Sharmaji ka beta' meme now has a Twitter avatar.
The micro-blogging platform is currently flooded with a new meme, which is basically your dad roasting you during an airborne medical emergency.
Representational Image
Being referred to as the 'Flight Attendant' meme, the origin of it has been traced back to Twitter product manager and comic artist Laura Gao, who imagines what her dad would tell her in case of a medical emergency on a flight.
As it the case with such tweets, now a lot of users on Twitter are using Gao's tweet as a template and inserting their own career choices, what their dad's would say to taunt them and it's a whole new mood in itself.
Flight attendant: Is there a doctor onboard?
Dad: *nudging me* that should've been you
Me: Not now Dad
Dad: Not asking for a Product Manager to help, are they?
Me: Dad, there's a medical emergency happening right now
Dad: Go and see if “let’s have a follow-up meeting" helps

Gao tweeted this on 26 November, and the post already had over 20k retweets at the time of writing the story.
She also responded to her own meme addressing the unique dread which comes from spawning a viral tweet.
