One student is on a mission: to drain the joy from all birthdays.

Imgur user jizzwaffle (lovely) posted a photo Thursday claiming to show a birthday card his girlfriend, a teacher, had received from one of her students.

It's clear this student wants to put Teacher in her place. Birthdays aren't happy occasions, after all — they're merely reminders that we're all insignificant drops in the ocean, no more unique than anyone else.

Still, it may be a little short-sighted to assume an equal number of people were born on each day of the year. 

Please take that into account for your next nihilist birthday card, kid.
