"Nobody decides to become a meme. The internet decides that for you."

I can relate.

Do you still have people tag you in weird posts or pm you stupid stuff?

I don't mean to be rude, but don't you think that by posting "please tag me" in a meme subreddit, you did in fact explicitly ask to become a meme?

Do you regret it now?

It was never my intention to become a meme, but I don't regret it. Quite the fun experience for me.
