A meme circulating on Imgur, titled "Returning stolen goods pt 64," humorously captures a common experience many can relate to - the irony of checking your phone for the time only to forget it moments later. The meme, created by @kels_caliente_memes, has garnered significant attention and reactions due to its relatable content and clever depiction.

The top portion of the meme reads:

"Looks at phone to check the time"

"Puts phone away"

Me: So what time is it?

The second part of the meme features a still from a TV show or movie, showing a person with dark hair seated at a table. The character's reaction is overlaid with the text:

"I don't know, but it's a bloody good question."

The background setting of the image, which includes a patterned wall and various objects like bottles on the table, suggests a casual dining environment or a bar. This setting adds to the meme's charm, making it even more relatable.

Comments on the post highlight how the meme resonates with various aspects of daily life:

- User #1 humorously notes, "THIS IS the story of a squirrel," likely referencing the scatterbrained nature of the meme's scenario.

- User #3 adds, "Way ahead of you. 'Brown eyed squirrel', 'Squirrel, you'll be a woman soon', 'Squirrels just wanna have fun', the list goes on and on..."

- User #48 brings another layer of humor by stating, "If you keep a giant chunk of salt sitting out in your place, you just have to deal with the very real possibility it's gonna get licked."

This meme not only amuses but also subtly reminds everyone of the often-overlooked quirks of modern technology use. Checking the phone for the time and immediately forgetting it is a minor yet universal experience that connects people through shared moments of forgetfulness.

#4 also, "biscuits" are not your "biscuits" like Oreos or other cookies. They're small dinner rolls, mini croissant-like things, etc.
