An anniversary surprise turned into a viral wallet drama in Germany after a man’s $2,000 setup flew away, quite literally! In an attempt to surprise his girlfriend, he tied a string of cash to a giant box of balloons – only for a gust of wind to send the entire bundle drifting into the sky. The frantic chase that followed has left the internet laughing, cringing, and gleefully sharing the spectacle.

Oops… there goes my salaryIn the now-viral clip, the pair open the gift with peak energy. Within seconds, the balloons – tied to a string stacked with cash – make a dramatic exit and float into the great beyond. As the woman leans in for a hug, the man enters operational meltdown. A frantic chase follows, but gravity and good luck are both off duty. The aftermath is brutal: he collapses onto the road, face in hands, repeating the line no payroll department wants to hear in public — that was his salary. She attempts damage control, first with reassurance that intention matters, then with a hustle-culture solution: earn more.Some laugh while one criesNetizens couldn’t resist. Comments ranged from “That’s one way to give your salary wings” to “Plot twist: love cost you more than ₹2 lakh.” Some joked that the money was “doing its own anniversary getaway,” while others declared it the most Indian romantic fail meme of the year.
