The 'Let Me Drive The Bus' meme originates from the classic SpongeBob SquarePants episode 'Shanghaied,' where SpongeBob repeatedly asks the Flying Dutchman for a chance to steer his ghostly ship. The phrase captured the internet's imagination as a perfect metaphor for someone—often unqualified or overly enthusiastic—desperately wanting to take control of a situation. It is widely used on social media to describe moments of chaotic confidence, poor decision-making, or the feeling of wanting to 'take the wheel' of your own life despite having no idea what you're doing.
