The cashier slowly reads out the total, and you realise the "small top-up shop" has cost more than your first month's rent. You stand there with the card in your hand. You nod. You pay.
A friend says the new place is "really reasonable" and "hardly any queue". Forty minutes later you are holding a starter that costs the same as a main, and the waiter asks if you want to "make it a meal".
Your landlord explains the fee is "just a standard admin charge". It has been standard for exactly as long as you have been paying it. You look at him. He looks at the form. Nobody blinks.
Someone at work says the meeting "could have been an email", and then books a follow-up to discuss the email. You sit very still and wait for it to make sense. It doesn't.
Why it caught on: the photo shows a young boy in a striped shirt, arms folded, giving a sideways look of pure doubt to a woman crouched beside him, and it turned up online around 2011 as "Skeptical Third World Kid". The look suited any caption beginning "so you're telling me", from pricing and rules to plain nonsense, and a single squint answered all of them. The tag "third world" came with the first captions, and the later ones mostly dropped it and kept the squint.
