$5000 Tip to Flip a Switch

I did IT work for a little private company. Guy called because his new PC wouldn't turn on and it's like 3:00pm, he was 100% willing to pay for me to drive 5 hours 1-way to get it working today because he wanted to play games today. Five hour road trip later, and the address is this huge mansion. I thought I was in the wrong place. Use the intercom at the gate, and hope this is the place. They were a cool couple, and the dude had built his own gaming rig. It was absolutely over the top, I had never even laid eyes on hardware that expensive before. He never turned the power switch on his PSU on. He payed $1400 for me to come out there to flip a switch. I also installed his graphic drivers but that was technically free, and then gave me $5000 cash as a tip all because he was excited to play League of Legends on his new PC.

A muscular man sits at an elaborate gaming computer while a story explains that an IT worker drove five hours to fix a new PC. The wealthy owner had only forgotten to turn on the power switch on the PSU, paid $1400 for the visit, and gave a $5000 tip because he was excited to play League of Legends. The meme is used as an absurd reaction to unexpectedly generous payment for an extremely simple task.
