About
No Thanks is a stock photo reaction image in which a man holds his hands out in front of his hands with a disapproving look on his face.
Origin
The source of the image comes from a stock photo by DRB Images entitled "Irritated Man With Hands Out In Stop Gestures," which is currently featured on iStockPhoto.com.[1] While the iStockPhoto page notes the upload date as October 3rd, 2013, the earliest known instance of the photo appearing online was on November 8th, 2012. In a Reddit [2] thread "Ever since I was a kid, my toenails have grown like this. It's extremely painful." Redditor yougotdied posted the picture in response to pictures of the toenails (shown below).
