Harry Styles needs to rethink his bathroom schedule or risk the wrath of meme makers.

The One Direction hair-throb was nowhere to be found when the British boy band won the BRIT Global Success award this week. Bandmate Liam Payne beckoned for the "curly headed one" as they reached the stage before moving on without him. As the group went about thanking their fans and glancing around the O2 Arena, Harry made his arrival as he rushed to stage and announced, "Sorry, I was having a wee."

The poor guy didn't even know what award they had just won, and spent the rest of the night as the butt of presenter James Cordon's jokes. And now the Internet has joined in on the ribbing.

Tumblr and Instagram users took the opportunity to Photoshop the singer rushing away from various calamities, dubbing the pop star "Hurry Styles."
