A viral flight attendant meme is letting everyone make fun of their own career choices — and their families' reaction to their livelihoods.

The premise: You're on a flight where the flight attendant asks if anyone on board is a doctor.

Your dad nudges you, pointing out the fact that you've decided to, say, major in English or become a Dungeon Master in Dungeons & Dragons. 

"Go see if unearthing homoerotic subtext that doesn't exist helps," the disappointed father urges. 

Flight attendant: Is there a doctor onboard?

Dad: *nudging me* that should've been you

Me:

Dad: Not asking for an English major to help, are they?

Me: Dad, there's a medical emergency happening right now

Dad: Go see if unearthing homoerotic subtext that doesn't exist helps

The dad in the meme is less than pleased that you've decided to eschew the path of becoming a physician for something that's presumably lower paid and less prestigious. 

Here are some of the best posts. 

The meme started to really pick up in the days before Thanksgiving — seemingly tapping into everyone's insecurity about going home for the holiday

Flight attendant: Is there a doctor on this flight?

Dad: *nudging me* should've been you

Me: Dad...

Dad: Not asking for a dungeon master, are they?

Me: "A warm glow washes over the cabin. The Blessing of Bahamut heals everyone 8d6hp."

Flight attendant: Cancel that.

Dad: wtf
