Check out this Socially Awkward Penguin meme. Have you ever done this? You smile and nod, hoping it wasn't a question, but in reality, you didn't hear anything they said. It's rude, yeah, but it happens to us all.
I do this a lot. Because I have attention span issues. It's not always easy to focus on what people are saying, you know?

Especially if they just keep rambling and talking. Some people just keep talking all the time.
Origin of the meme
A socially awkward penguin meme is a meme about a penguin who is very lacking in the "social skills" department.
The text on the meme usually talks about a situation in life where his social awkwardness becomes very apparent.
The original image of the penguin comes from a photographer named George F. Mobley. He's a nature photographer.

First appearance
The image began being used as a meme (image macro) on 4chan in May 2009 (that's the earliest known sighting.)
It came after a few other "advice animal" memes such as Courage Wolf. There are quite a few advice animals now, and you can find them all on the internet on various websites. Some of them are very funny!
