I've worked in a bicycle shop during the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. A kid and his or her parent (or some other adult) would come in with the bike the kid got as a present. One or both of the wheels would be shaped like tacos, pretzels or some other appetizer or snack served before or after the holiday dinner.
The kid or adult would claim the kid "was just turning the corner" when "it bent." When the kid's puppy-dog eyes didn't elicit a free replacement of the wheel or bike, the adult would demand a refund.
Other current and former bike shop employees have told me similar stories. No doubt the one who made this graphic has heard it, too:
