This choosing beggar’s guitar haggling raised the self-own to a fine art

Someone named u/Ogir-Yensa took to Reddit’s r/ChoosingBeggars forum to share this supreme lack of self-awareness and manners.

It all started with a Fender Telecaster guitar advertised for sale.

One interested person wanted a favour.

It would involve, as they say, quite a bit of faffing about.

The would-be customer tried a little emotional blackmail, but the seller explained their position.

They each tried a counter-suggestion.

And that’s where irony went to die.

Redditors had a lot to say.

There had to be a pun.

It’s a pity this didn’t happen.
