“It’s My Birthday, Too!” Artist Responds To Choosing Beggar With Their Own Trick, And They Immediately Lose It

Choosing beggars are their own breed. They go through life using logic other people can’t even process and remain quite a mystery. However, reddit user /u/II-I-Hulk-I-II is one of the few people that understand it. Recently, when a potential client messaged them, asking for a 50% discount on their services because “it was their birthday,” the artist applied the same logic and quickly reduced them to curse words.

After some commenters started complaining about the math, /u/II-I-Hulk-I-II said: “The point of the joke is that she wants 50% off the original value of the product which is $10. So, I want the same discount applied in reverse as it is my birthday also; so if she wants $10 off, I’m adding $10 on.”

“I didn’t mean to state that I was adding 50% of the already discounted price because that wouldn’t make sense with the joke, although, I can see how the wording may have suggested that to some people.”

People appreciated the witty comeback
