What is the Waiting Skeleton Meme?

About the Waiting Skeleton Meme
A plastic skeleton sits slumped on a park bench, clearly having been there for an extremely long time. The skeleton is positioned as if it were a person who sat down to wait and simply never got up — because whatever they were waiting for never came. The image is pure dark humor — infinite patience meeting infinite disappointment.
A skeleton slumped on a park bench, implying someone waited so long they literally died. The meme is used for things that take an unreasonable amount of time — or things you're still waiting on that are clearly never going to happen. For waiting-related vibes with a different flavor, see Sad Pablo Escobar (bored and lonely).
