It’s almost impossible to wish a coworker happy birthday without immediately following up with, ‘So, where are we going for lunch?’ This meme, using the famous Boromir template, calls out that exact work culture move.
There’s always that expectation that the birthday person is going to treat everyone else, or at least pick the spot. The real gift isn’t just the cake – it’s the lunch plans that come with it.
It’s funny because it’s true: office birthdays are really just about where everyone’s eating. Embrace it.
