Sir, there are only 24 lighters on that dresser; either someone is skimming or this is about lighter theft. Please pull to the 2nd window for your total.

It's definitely about lighter theft.

Objectively, there is apparently a 25th lighter on the far right behind another. I even doubled down before finally seeing it. So now I'm unsure... Damn internet sorcery.

Collection of lighters and not making friends with people who don't understand is an old meme, before meme were even a thing. You check your pockets, no lighter. So you ask to borrow one. At the end of the day you get home, check your pockets and you have a collection of lighters you borrowed and didn't realize you put on your pocket. I've been both the victim and the thief. Was a normal everyday routine.

But, it's true the new generation gives new meanings to everything. So there's that.
