Brendan Banfield Files Restraining Order Against His Own Echo After It Repeated His Excuses Back to Him
WASHINGTON, DC—In a turn of events that has left even the most seasoned meme historians speechless, local man Brendan Banfield has reportedly filed a restraining order against his own sound-reflective surface, claiming his echo “has been gaslighting him for years.” The viral legal document, which was penned in crayon on the back of a pizza box, argues that “every time I say I’m a victim, my echo just repeats it, making me sound redundant and pathetic.” Internet sleuths have since discovered that Banfield’s echo is most active in empty courtrooms, where it allegedly whispers “cringe” at his statements—a transgression that has landed the phenomenon a #1 trending spot on X for “peak irony.” As one user put it, “Brendan Banfield is out here suing his own soundwaves for defamation, proving that even physics finds him insufferable.”
