“Mec qui appelle les urgences parce qu'il est enfermé chez lui” meme: meaning, origin and common card

What does the “Mec qui appelle les urgences parce qu'il est enfermé chez lui” meme mean?

It is used to tease someone who overcomplicates things, forgets the obvious, or panics before thinking. People also aim it at themselves when they notice, too late, that the answer was right under their nose.

Where does the “Mec qui appelle les urgences parce qu'il est enfermé chez lui” meme come from?

The punchline comes from the description, which points out that he can actually just leave through the window. The meme travels as a stock situation rather than a precise quote, and the title is reused word for word whenever people mention it.
