Maybe if you pay me, I'll give you "tips". Also I won't tell anyone about our little "conversation".

I'm crap at this, because the minute I pull the "aww but I *always* get the groceries!" pouty face thing at my other half, I feel hideously guilty and apologise.

i don't remember too clearly alex. could you put it in writing for me?

― mullygrubber (gaz), Monday, 3 May 2004 01:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Naw, you remember. Don't make me tell everyone here about it.

Also I can make it worth your while.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 3 May 2004 01:23 (twenty-one years ago)

no i'm not suggesting that. its just i'd feel more comfortable with the facts in black and white. email me privately.

― mullygrubber (gaz), Monday, 3 May 2004 01:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I'd feel more comfortable if you e-mailed me. I might be willing to e-mail you back for certain considerations.

What a weird way of "negotiating".

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 3 May 2004 01:32 (twenty-one years ago)

negotiate wha? I got mine.

― omg, Monday, 3 May 2004 01:33 (twenty-one years ago)

This (*sob*), this is what keeps bringing me back to ILE. I love you. All of you. Of course, in between times I am choking-mad at all of you pin-headed sheep abusers. It goes without saying.

also it's quite possible i'm being sarcastic/wracked with regret, but i'm too drunk to know for sure and it's quite possible this thread is in earnest too

Negotiation is a funny thing. I have this theory that maybe 90-95% of the time (more?) there's a kind of predestined natural equilibrium solution that's the most sensible and likely for both parties, and the negotiation is just this ritual dance you have to do. You both know the right price is 50, so you start with 10, they start with 100, and you haggle til you get to the middle.
