The 'Guy Throwing Rocks at an Elephant' meme serves as a powerful visual metaphor for futility or minor irritations attempting to disturb a massive, unyielding force. While the exact origins of the image are often linked to stock photography or political illustrations, it gained viral status as a way to depict someone 'poking the bear' or making a futile effort against overwhelming odds. Users typically label the man as a small nuisance—like a single bad email or a minor task—and the elephant as a larger-than-life entity such as 'my mental health' or 'corporate bureaucracy.' It perfectly captures that specific feeling of throwing everything you have at a problem, only for it to remain completely unmoved.
