The existential crisis of memory allocation! That moment when you realize a single boolean value—which only needs to represent true or false—consumes an entire byte of memory. The computer literally reserves 8 bits when you only need 1 bit, wasting 87.5% of the allocated space. It's the digital equivalent of buying an eight-bedroom mansion just to store a single paperclip. No wonder she's crying—the inefficiency is physically painful to anyone who's ever optimized code to save precious bytes. Memory waste is the real tragedy nobody talks about.
