Q: Doesnt it feel good to win for a change?

The A/C in my car crapped out on me. Nearest place to get it fixed is a 45 minute drive away. Went and paid 500 and it worked for two days! Had to drive all the way back. They messed up the wiring. Last night was date night. The damn AC crapped out again!!!

Its humid as hell here guys. 98%! So my wife calls them raging and they tell us to come back. She said screw that you make the drive and fix it or give us our money back. They agreed to come today.

Today she calls and asks when theyll come. The owner gets on the line and said they arent coming, the guy who agreed was wrong. Arrrrg! So the wife said fine. Give us our money back. The smug asshole laughs at her and said no chance and hung up. Sent a message saying theyll fix again but zero chance for money. The wife said My husband is coming you dont want to see him angry at you. The guy answers "haha".

So i rage , get in the car. And the god damn skies open up and throw a rain storm at me like ive never seen. A bad china day at its finest. I have extra money for buying my way out of jail and im all set to destroy his face.

Finally i arrive and the conversation goes like this.
Him : hello, not working huh?
Me: Shut the fuck up and give me my money back you cunt.
Him: OK!

Haha took 20 seconds. Best part is the AC kicked on for the whole way home and the weather cleared!

Fuck bad china days. I make them my bitch and it feels damn good!

If there is one thing that works, it's angry foreigners. Works like a treat for me in traffic, when there is one of those deadlocks consisting of my car and one more, people back off when they see 200cm of Viking looking angry as hell. 

DrMonkey:

Grow a beard, long hairs, top that with a Viking helmet. I would come to Zuhai just to watch ^^

Yup. Seems like it rained all over China today.
Yesterday my laptop had a meltdown. Tried all the usual fixes to no avail. Local computer guy fixes it for 30 rmb.

BUT IT TOOK HIM THREE HOURS!!

Yup today was a good day. 

Hulk:

I fix computers and develop websites for a living, and write software programs, too. I charge from $110 to $150 per hour. 30 RMB is absurdly inexpensive.

 

There could be a long list of reasons why it took him 3 hours to do it. That actually sounds somewhat fast. You paid him 10 RMB per hour, dude.

Alert! Sarcasm! I know any puter fix for 30 rmb is a freakin win!! Regardless of the time spent. I left my laptop, came back after @ 1.5 hours, he said go have lunch, came back after another 1.5 hours - done. Yes I'm sure he helped other people in that 3 hours. I know he did not spend 3 hours sweating over my box. Maybe 20 minutes, but that's the nature of software repair. Load this software, waiting waiting ... ok try it - and so on. You know. 

So, ever-bodies, I got my puter fixed for 30 rmb = win! No variant calculus here, straight up arithmatic WIN.

Hulk always upvote violence against stupid folks. This post Hulk-approved.

 

I only regret that you didn't actually mash his face in. It's too bad.

 

Don't you just love it when Chinese call your bluff? It's like the whole country is built on bluffing, but when it turns out someone (usually a foreigner) isn't serious, they're so shell-shocked. It turns an otherwise Bad China Day into a Good China Day.

Good job, you may have saved some other people from having a crap experience. 

 

I want to yell at people so much in China that I take it easy mainly for my sanity. But if I was in that same situation, I think I might lose it too... and start flipping out on him. 

 

I may also start calling in some local "guan xi" to make the guy lose face to some of his fellow countrymen (that's the worst for them lol). They always think foreigners are temporary... like one bad interaction with us is no big deal because we will be gone soon. But when they start having powerful locals telling them to stop their shit... it leaves a stain on them for life.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change student visa to labourer one is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
