Mouse movement Memes

Oh, the absolute PANIC that sets in when your screen decides to take an unscheduled nap! That tiny sliver representing "sit patiently waiting for it to recover" is the biggest lie ever told. Like, WHO are these mythical beings who just calmly wait? The rest of us? We're frantically jiggling that mouse like we're trying to summon a digital genie, desperately hoping that if we move it aggressively enough, the computer will remember it has a job to do. It's basically the tech equivalent of shaking a vending machine when your snack gets stuck. Spoiler alert: it never works, but we'll keep doing it until the heat death of the universe because WHAT ELSE ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO?!
