Me, at 3:47 AM in my Uber Black after EFS, cruising down Bathurst, realizing I just spent $2,000 on a table thinking I was gonna pull —only for a squad of U of T shorties to pull up, fill their cups, fake laugh at my jokes, and vanish to the next booth. There goes half of my rent for my overpriced Bay St condo this month.

Why it worked

The post uses a relatable scenario of overspending and unexpected social outcomes, combined with a humorous punchline from the Uber driver, to create a shareable meme-like experience.

Summary

The creator recounts a humorous and relatable experience of spending a large sum of money on a table at a club, only for the group they were with to leave abruptly, leaving them to cover the cost. The second slide adds a punchline about the Uber driver's reaction to the situation.

Structure

1Setting the scene: late night, expensive outing, realization of cost
2The anticlimactic outcome: the group leaves, leaving the creator with the bill
3The Uber driver's reaction to the situation

My uber driver (Arab uncle) runs a red, almost gets us t-boned, glances into the rear view, sighs, and says "this is haram brother"
