Office software Memes

You can reverse-engineer a distributed microservices architecture, debug race conditions in multithreaded applications, and optimize algorithms to O(log n), but deleting a blank page in Word? That's where we draw the line. Microsoft Word's pagination system operates on ancient dark magic that predates modern computing—it's literally easier to rewrite the entire document than figure out why that phantom page exists. The irony of being called "technologically advanced" while frantically mashing backspace and delete like a caveman discovering fire is just *chef's kiss*. Fun fact: Those blank pages are usually caused by paragraph marks, section breaks, or page breaks that Word hides like Easter eggs from hell. But will you remember that next time? Absolutely not.

The Venn diagram of pain where Excel users and incels intersect on "incorrectly assuming something is a date." Excel thinks your phone number is February 3rd, 1906, while that other group thinks a friendly "good morning" text means wedding bells. The real tragedy? Both refuse to accept proper formatting instructions.

While humans debate philosophical perspectives on water glasses, Excel is over there screaming "FEBRUARY 1st!!!" because it thinks the 1st of February is somehow more exciting than New Year's. Classic Excel—where dates are stored as serial numbers since 1900, and February 1st is literally just the number 32. No nuance, no philosophy, just pure, unbridled enthusiasm for being exactly one month into the year. It's the spreadsheet equivalent of that coworker who celebrates their "half-birthday" with the same energy as their actual birthday.
