hard knock life

When one is expecting reward, only to receive punishment.

Instead of treated, we get tricked
Instead of kisses, we get kicked

Me: Hey Mom, I took out the trash.
Mom: Oh good, now you can go dig for the recipe you just threw out.

Me: Hey game developer, I found this crazy duplication exploit. As proof of concept, I duplicated a few items.
Developer: Market saturation! Permaban!
Me: Reporting bugs in this game is a hard knock life.
