What really grinds my gears: Commissions

Ok, it's not about the commissions themselves, it's about people complaining about the price! I have no constant charge on commissions, it depends on the effort I have to put in.

Example

I billed a guy € 50,- ($ 64,-) for a DIN A3 picture colored by markers. I spent my rare spare time, in addition to my work, finishing the picture, which afterwards made me feel like a hummingbird on XTC. So I thought € 50,- would be adequate.
But the guy was like:”Whoa, dude, that's expensive! Can't you sell it for like 10 bucks, because I'm very poor!” SAY WHAT!?!?!? Ok, you're very poor, but somehow you're still able to

- download the latest ringtone/app shit for your mobile (for a weekly fee of € 4,-),
- party hard almost every weekend,
- buy useless stuff (iPad, iPhone, etc.), you actually don't need, just because the media tells you.

Besides, you

- actually have a job, but you
- don't have to pay any kind of bills,
- don't have to buy food on your own, because

you still live with your parents and you even receive pocket money!!!

So where's the fucking problem?! I wish I could claim the same; I wish I had a luxury life as yours. Well, call me ignorant, but that's what really grinds my gears!

PS after a few days that guy actually paid the full price. He probably robbed a liquor store or something.
