I can’t work under these conditions
sarcastic phrase used to evoke the image of a high-strung actor or other professional who refuses to continue to work because of some trivial issue. although the phrase sounds like a serious complaint, its familiarity as a meme or catch-phrase can actually be used to diffuse or lessen the impact of a minor issue that a group of people are unhappy about. frequently used among theater types or other performers both in and out of the theatrical context.
person 1: “hey, we’ve got coffee, but only french roast. we’re out of hazelnut.”
person 2, responding, perhaps throwing up their hands: “i can’t work under these conditions!”
all: laughter.
