The Forgotten EC2 Instance Tax

The Forgotten EC2 Instance Tax
That moment when you're convinced you forgot to stop your EC2 instances before the weekend, but your friend dismisses your concern... until Monday's AWS bill arrives showing your "running" instance has been happily burning cash for 72 hours straight. Nothing says "financial trauma" quite like discovering your forgotten sandbox environment has been crunching absolutely nothing at $0.50 per hour while you were enjoying beers. Classic cloud computing tax on the forgetful.

Even your dreams aren't safe from the crushing reality of cloud computing costs. Just when you think you can escape the existential dread of work, your brain decides to remind you about that VM you left running in AWS.

Your wallet is crying, your manager is drafting an email, and somewhere Jeff Bezos just bought another yacht with your forgotten instance money.

Ah, the classic "sleeping peacefully until cloud costs jolt you awake" nightmare! This cat sleeps through earthquakes, thunderstorms, and even alien attacks, but shoots wide awake in pure terror when remembering there's a forgotten cloud instance still running somewhere, silently draining your bank account at $0.25/hour. Nothing triggers fight-or-flight response in a developer quite like realizing you spun up that "temporary" GPU instance three weeks ago and forgot to shut it down. That sudden 3am realization is scarier than any horror movie!
