The meme perfectly captures the duality of packet loss reactions. Drug dealers panic like Mr. Krabs having an existential crisis when they lose a few packets (of drugs). Meanwhile, IT Engineers are just chilling by the fireplace like Mr. Krabs in his smoking jacket, sipping tea with the energy of someone who's seen this a thousand times before.
