The 'It's Above Me' meme originates from a viral 2019 video featuring a hotel front desk clerk named Craig Brooks. In the video, Brooks calmly informs a customer that he can no longer assist them after a confrontation, repeatedly stating, 'It's above me now,' while gesturing toward the heavens or a higher corporate authority. The phrase quickly became a cultural shorthand for reaching a breaking point, clocking out mentally, or simply refusing to entertain unnecessary drama any longer. It is widely used across social media to express a state of being completely unbothered and moving on from a situation that is no longer one's personal responsibility.
