# OMG You People Can't Do Anything "OMG You People Can't Do Anything" started on October 30, 2022, when X user @Cicington quote-tweeted a post about Halloween costumes being stressful for the ADHD community with that one dismissive line. By 2023 it was being used as a petty retort to any neurodivergent complaint about everyday difficulties, often attached as a screenshot above the targeted post[2]. ## Origin On October 30, 2022, X user @Cicington quote-tweeted a post that read, "we don't talk enough about how stressful Halloween costumes are for the ADHD community," with the single reply, "Omg you people cant do anything." The quote-tweet collected over 120,000 likes before @Cicington's account went offline, and screenshots of it survived as the meme's canonical image[3]. - **Platform:** X (Twitter) - **Creator:** @Cicington - **Date:** 2022 ## Overview The phrase works as a deliberately uncharitable reply to anyone describing how a medical or neurological condition makes an ordinary task harder. Posters either paste the five words verbatim or attach a screenshot of @Cicington's original quote-tweet as an exploitable image above whatever vulnerable post they want to dunk on, with the joke sitting in the gap between the earnest complaint on top and the flat, sarcastic retort below[3]. Criticism of the format tracked the catchphrase almost from the start. On May 20, 2024, @steelydante posted a long thread arguing the line gave readers a license to brush off genuine executive-function and chronic-illness struggles, then conceded that some users said the joke had helped them stop viewing minor tasks as impossible[6]. ## How to Use People typically quote-tweet or reply to an earnest post about how a condition makes a specific task hard, answering with the five-word line or an attached screenshot of @Cicington's deleted tweet. The common convention is to leave the retort unexplained, so the humor relies entirely on tonal mismatch with the sincere post it is answering. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is OMG You People Can't Do Anything?
