The Bill Lumbergh meme features the passive-aggressive boss from the 1999 cult classic film Office Space, portrayed by actor Gary Cole. Holding a coffee mug and wearing his signature suspenders, Lumbergh is known for his annoying requests and the catchphrase 'Yeah, if you could just... that'd be great.' The meme first gained popularity in the early 2010s as a way to satirize corporate culture, micromanagement, and unreasonable workplace demands. It has since become a universal symbol for any request—work-related or otherwise—made with faux-politeness and underlying irritation.
