<p>谁让 expresses weak causality with a mood. Depending on the context and the tone, the mood can be humor, banter, sarcastic, helplessness, complaining or something else. Accordingly the translation can be "since", "after all", "only because", "God knows why", etc.</p>

<p>In your example, it seems the speaker is just grumbling or expressing helplessness in a cool mood. I would use "after all" in this one.</p>

It seems a bit weird. The more oft-heard phrase used is 谁叫你 instead.
