Detour Route meme template
Give the straight destination a sensible goal and label the long route with your distraction. The obstacle and looping arrow make a simple task look unnecessarily adventurous.
A thick arrow approaches a central block, bends down and around it, then returns toward its original destination. The drawing exaggerates the extra travel created by a modest obstruction. Use the first caption for the intended activity and the second for the detour that consumes the time. Looking up a recipe might require an unplanned tour of kitchen storage before you can begin. The route should still lead toward the original task, so choose a distraction that feels connected. A recognizable side quest makes the winding path immediately useful.
