About the Be Like Bill Meme
A simple stick figure drawn in black on a white background. The figure is positioned to the right side of the frame, smiling, with a realistic-looking pom-pom beanie placed on top of the round circular head. The left side of the image is largely blank white space reserved for text. The stick figure has a thin body, stick arms, and stick legs, and the overall aesthetic is deliberately crude and simple.
Be Like Bill originated on Facebook in late 2015, created by a page that posted stick figure illustrations delivering passive-aggressive social etiquette advice. The format became enormously viral because it let anyone publicly shame annoying internet or social behaviors while appearing to offer wisdom rather than criticism. At peak popularity it spawned hundreds of variants covering everything from driving habits to phone etiquette. For a related advice structure, see Good Guy Greg.

- Line 3 is where the passive-aggressive shade lives: what Bill does NOT do, which is the annoying thing you are actually complaining about
