Girlfriend Tells Boyfriend She Is Not a Server Socket That Listens and Accepts

Description

A meme using a stock photo of a couple having an argument on a couch. The woman (in a green top) has her hand on her forehead in frustration while the man looks at her attentively. The top text reads 'COULD YOU FINALLY LISTEN AND ACCEPT WHAT I SAY??' and the bottom text reads 'I AM NOT A SERVER SOCKET HONEY'. The imgflip.com watermark is visible in the bottom left. The meme plays on the TCP/IP networking concept where a server socket listens on a port and accepts incoming connections -- the girlfriend is saying she's not going to just 'listen' and 'accept' everything like a server socket does with client connections. The networking terminology (listen, accept) maps perfectly to the relationship argument context
