Input: Text: i work in china, and my contract is coming to an end. in fact, it ended today. this is the middle-of-nowhere china, and car/bike rentals aren't a thing, and taking taxi's is problematic.
to get around, i asked friends to check for a second-hand motorcycle, but since they were unsuccessful, i bought a new one figuring i could sell it second hand myself when i would leave.

good plan, right?
i bought it, haggled, and used it for 8 months - then asked people to help me advertise that the 'laowai' was selling a barely used bike for only a bit over half of the new price.
there's no defects, it runs like a charm and in 8 months, all it's got on it is about 1300km. and it's yours for /cheap/.


i was pretty confident it would be easy to unload, and it didn't take long for there to be a few takers. eventually, a guy who is a friend of a co-worker of my girlfriend (whew) reaches out to us, says he's seen the bike at her work and would be happy to take it off our hands.


great. we reach an agreement, he does the typical chinese haggling thing (mandatory) and he and the gf agree to the price we had in mind all along in the first place (not that its a hard sell. really.)


i just asked him to wait until today, my last day here, to come pick it up - so i could continue to use it till i left the country.


now, he doesn't speak a word of english, and my chinese is /shit/ - so his daughter came along to help interpret. she apparently also didn't speak any english, but she did bring a phone with a translator app. whatever, a pretty straightforward deal, n'est pas?


now, what you need to know is - it's hot here right now. real hot.
and where i'm from, if you're selling a vehicle - you clean it up and get it shiny. so i get it all nice, shiny and clean and they arrive a bit later.
i get ready to hand over the keys and the paperwork, when he starts circling the bike and being super-critical of scratches on the rubber near the mirrors and so on. you know, minor things.


really not in the mood for another round of haggling (last time took about an hour) and even less on doing it through daughter's smartphone - i remind him he's already inspected it and agreed to a price. we go back and forth for about 10 minutes until he remarks "well, it's not like you have any alternatives, you're leaving tomorrow. what are you going to do, leave it behind?".


now, i just spent 40 minutes cleaning this thing and probably suffering sunburn for it. i'm selling it at a price i know is more than decent because honestly - i'm a nice guy and i hate this haggling process.
i'd also been having a bad couple of last days (high workload near the end, lots of 'the sky is falling when you're leaving' and 'not enough trained people' etc) so i'm not in the mood to put up with this.
i've been containing my mood so far, but getting more and more annoyed at dealing with this, still out under the scorching sun and finally ... i lose my temper. a truly, rare, occurrence. i grab the nearest heavy thing in reach, conveniently a hammer, and ram it down on the mirror that started the whole debate. hard enough to shatter the glass and bend the bar holding it upright at a downward angle, as well as the entire dashboard and wiring.


i look up and tell him that now, i'm willing to take the insulting price he's offering.


result? no sale - not a chance for recouping any expense - (rightly) angry girlfriend - feeling of satisfaction was a lot more temporary and replaced with some guilt and shame for letting my temper get the better of me.
