Waited 15 minutes to let the price go down again

This meme combines a 4chan-style greentext narrative with a close-up reaction image of a wide-eyed shocked cat. The greentext describes a common frustrating experience with ride-sharing apps: a user first checks the price of an Uber or Lyft ride and sees it costs $12. They go to get ready to leave by putting on their shoes and grabbing their keys, then check the price again just to confirm, only to find the price has jumped dramatically to $30 due to surge pricing. The cat's stunned wide-eyed expression perfectly captures the user's shocked and annoyed reaction to the unexpected price hike.
