SEC-S18-W2: "Show your sense of humor with memes"

I feel in today's time, you are truly successful if a meme is based on you. - Sanya Malhotra.

It is no news in Nigeria that electricity bills come in at outrageous figures. There are lots of complaints about crazy bills, but that hasn't changed a thing.

Waking up this morning to the knock at my door, I expected to receive a good morning gift or some sweet words. Guess what? It was my electricity bill. I didn't take a look at it immediately; I needed to finish up my morning routine before that.

What? How can this be my bill for a month? I had to check the name, address and year to be sure it wasn't someone's bill.

Angry me, moving from one room to the other shouting at the bill, wondering how many points I use at home. I decided to count my room points over time to be sure I didn't have so much.

I don't use heavy appliances and yet my bill is very high. I took my bath, dressed up and left for their office, I needed to iron it out with them.

Getting to the office, I met a large crowd waiting to be attended to. I heard some unnecessary complaints from customers just like me.

Now, it's my turn to complain to them, but they never gave me the opportunity to, and they had all the time to say a lot of things while I listened with the anger in me.

With a heavy heart, I listened as I said thousands of words in my heart. Only if they had seen my heart, they would have changed my bill immediately.

When I got tired of listening, I got angry and started shouting because they weren't making sense to me. I was boiling so badly as if I could change what was written on the bill.

At that moment I remembered the source of my money and decided to shout a little for them so they knew that I suffered to make the money.

They don't care to know how your money was made, all they know is "pay your bill."

When I know I can do nothing to change the bill, I humbly pay my bills to avoid disconnection. After getting angry and shouting, I finally paid the bills humbly.

But remembering I have no high appliances at home made me want to change my mind, but I need electricity right? Let me just pay and save myself this drama.

I like memes because they are just seen as the digital version of an inside joke. We all possess one joke or the other inside, and with memes, we show how happy, angry, disappointed or lovely we felt.

I will let my friends @ruthjoe @eliany @inspiracion to share their sense of humor with memes to us.
