The 'You, Me and Steve' meme originates from the comedic song by the duo Garfunkel and Oates. The lyrics describe a romantic relationship constantly interrupted by the boyfriend’s best friend, Steve, who tags along on every date and ruins the intimacy. The meme has since evolved into a universal symbol for the 'third wheel' dynamic, representing any situation where an unwelcome or overly enthusiastic third party disrupts a private moment. It is widely used to joke about intrusive friends, clingy pets, or even annoying digital notifications that appear at the worst possible times.
