As Covid-19 cases surge in Texas after what many people are calling a premature reopening, people are still complaining about masks and having to stay home. And there are some even worse people, who despite the call for citizens to stay home, are instead spending their time at restaurants and then having the gall to complain about service. 

Twitter user @jsv4 made himself ripe for roasting and parodies when he decided to criticize the service at Mi Cocina Tex Mex in Allen, Texas.

"@MiCocina_TexMex My wife, date night after 3+ months locked up on quarantine. Waiting for shredded cheese as it's the only way she can eat fajitas. We've asked 4 people, going on 18 minutes now. Just unreal at Allen, TX location. We gotta quit blaming #COVID19 for crappy service."

He paired the text with an image of his wife looking distraught. Distraught over a lack of shredded cheese - an accompaniment that isn't even served with fajitas. Twitter users were quick to call out this male Karen for his blatant disregard for both the pandemic and the servers who really have no choice but to serve entitled individuals who feel its their right to dine out during a national emergency. We've included the best roasts and parodies of the tweet here, but we're willing to bet we'll be seeing more. And we hope the savagery discourages other entitled folks from frivolous dining and cold-hearted complaining.

You could fill up a ten-gallon hat with these memes. Or something like that. You'll be saying "bless your heart" to everyone who annoys the sh*t out of you in no time! Here are even more twangy Southern memes for y'all!

If we've learned anything about memes in the last decade, it's that there's truly a meme for anything. There are memes for people in the military, and even memes for people with chronic illnesses. Our latest super-specific meme dump is dedicated to all the people who work...in oilfields. While we don't personally know anyone working with black gold, it's definitely good for everyone to feel represented. Have at 'em!

As our society leans into social media, institutions such as police and fire departments are showing some skill in the way they embrace channels like Facebook and Twitter. The North Ridgeville Police Department in Texas has proved that they are quite skilled at using the former. Yesterday the Department's Facebook account posted a tale of their wholesome whirlwind of a quest to corral a renegade cow. It's detailed, it's funny, and most of all, it's sweet. - a very happy respite from the darker police stories we've seen lately. G

We have gathered here today to acknowledge the death of the freedom of the weekend, whom we have all known and loved. When something we care for dies, family and friends gather with sorrow in their hearts to grieve and give comfort to each other. We all grieve differently, and often the presence of another person's company can bring understanding and support. Just being together, sharing our grief and our love, dissolves some of our loneliness and helps begin the process of releasing and healing from our loss. Another way to cope with this gigantic loss is through the healing power ofmemes. So go ahead, scroll through these stupid photos, and bask in the memory of sweet, sweet, freedom and happiness. 

Twitter user Nic pointed out the completely absurd names given to the adoptable cats at Austin Pets Alive, an animal shelter located in Austin, Texas. Whoever's job it is to name foster kittens probably had a grand ol' time with this little project. Either that or they give absolutely zero f*cks.

And if you're in the area and interested in adopting a cat, check out their website! 

They also are definitely going to have an issue getting some of these adopted. Not that cats necessarily respond to their name being called, or at all. Still, the animals deserve at least a chance for families to love them. Though this is not the only instance of shelter cats with terrible names. 

We all know that stereotypes aren't always true, but come on, sometimes you just can't resist 'em. These memes focus on the perpetually made-fun-of southern states - home of sweet tea, twangy accents and second-amendment enthusiasts. You know we love y'all, but the memes were just too good to pass up!

Whooo, boy! The Tenaha Police Department in Texas posted a photo of a recent drug bust - and the internet is going crazy over it. The photo, regarded by most as a meager and piddling seizure, features seventy big ones fanned out, an empty pill bottle and even a water bottle. Naturally, the very eager photo has been meme'd to oblivion by eager content creators. While some of the memes make the seizure seem even more sparse, others just get plain absurd with it, photoshopping salt lamps and Yu-Gi-Oh cards. It seems like the attention has even prompted the police department to disable their Facebook account. Enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Comedian Roy Wood Jr. recently tweeted a story about a prank-gone-wrong that he tried to play on J. Prince, the CEO of Houston-based Rap-A-Lot-Records. Hilarity ensued.

Ayesha Curry is already getting roasted and toasted for her Houston restaurant, International Smoke, that's set to open in July. Rockets fans are apparently still salty over Houston's NBA loss to the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 - which is where Ayesha's husband Steph plays. So salty, in fact, that they've been intentionally leaving terrible Yelp reviews for the her new restaurant, which hasn't even opened yet. The reviews may be mean and uncalled for, but they're certainly provided us with some hearty laughs!

Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick faced a lot of backlash after he suggested that Friday's school shooting at Santa Fe High School may have been caused by the school having "too many entrances and exits," and not by the shooter's access to firearms. This is what people on Twitter had to say about it...

Y'all come back now, ya hear?
