This meme is a screenshot of an instant messaging chat exchange between a customer and a shoe seller. At the top of the screenshot, the seller's status shows a pair of shoes listed for 30k units of currency. The customer first asks the seller for the price of the shoes, to which the seller replies with an inflated price of 70k. The customer then points out that the seller already listed the price as 30k in their status, and the seller responds with the punchline 'So you saw it?', implying they intentionally tried to overcharge the customer assuming they would not check the publicly listed price. The joke centers on the absurdity of the seller's honesty after being caught lying about the price, mocking unethical retail practices by sellers who try to scam unobservant customers.

This is a sarcastic meme using a still from the classic animated series *Tom and Jerry*. The top text sets up the scenario: car insurance companies attempting to justify a 50% price increase when customers renew their policies. The character Tom the cat is shown sitting with a smug, disingenuous smile, shrugging with both hands raised, with the text "Inflation" placed next to him. The meme mocks how car insurance providers frequently use inflation as a lazy, unconvincing excuse for exorbitant, unjustified price increases that overcharge consumers.

This is a screenshot of a WhatsApp chat exchange between a sneaker buyer and a seller. The seller previously posted a public status showing a pair of sneakers for sale with a clearly marked price of 30k. The buyer messages the seller asking 'How much?' to confirm the price. The seller replies with an inflated price of 70k, attempting to overcharge the buyer. The buyer immediately calls out the discrepancy, pointing out the listed price in the seller's status is 30k. The seller responds with the blunt, unapologetic line 'So you saw it?', admitting they were caught lying about the price with no attempt to make an excuse. The humor comes from the seller's awkward, shameless reaction to being caught red-handed trying to scam the buyer.
