Q: How do you get over your BCD's?
I seem to have a BCD every few months and struggle to overcome it each time. I am pretty certain it isn't just me with this problem.
My wife always asks if "Uncle" is in town, bless her heart.
What strategies do you employ to overcome this or do you just ride it out as I do most of the time?
Buy beer.
Drink beer.
Smash beer bottle.
Repeat as needed.
With me, it largely depends on the circumstances e.g. extent of the BCD, my emotion at the time, whether I have other issues to deal with, even sometimes where I am or the weather outside.
The solutions can be; relax and have a beer, go and have a massage, listen to some music or watch a movie and sometimes even to take it out on other Chinese people such as my office staff when I want to let off steam regarding a bit of blatant dumbassery.
Whatever the case, I eventually get over it until the next BCD comes along.
Today, I was in ya-yi's chair for 2.5 hours straight. Cleaning of the root canal. I was ready for an extraction, and then 'Marathon Man script' happened....
I'm not sure if that's BDC, but I'm certainly doing a lot for my healthy.
icnif77:
It really hurts today. I was so in pain while leaving ya-yi, that one little kid started to cry as soon as he saw me passing-by toward the exit.
Kids generally smile or have an 'inquiry' look on their faces, when they see me.
repeat after me

"And this is why I drink"
"And this is why I drink"

ScotsAlan:
"And this is why I drink". And it was the drink that led to my rant against you for which I self banned myself for a few months. Apologies.
iWolf:
Rant against me? Ummm, sorry, I missed that post...lol Water under the bridge.
philbravery:
i think the ban was unfair you should be able to express your thoughts i hope you got to read the explanation of the phrase from other posters before it was deleted . as for apologies dont give it a second thought my fault as much as any bodies cheers mate

I do what Spider does except for smashing the bottles. For the past few years I've stuck to 500ml cans. I did buy bottles for a couple of years when first coming here and every few weeks the ayi would summon up her offsider and give them to him. Cans are more convenient than bottles but I must admit I do prefer drinking from a bottle.
Spiderboenz:
Not quite as satisfying slamming a can against a wall/floor/door/anything.
ScotsAlan:
Cans are safer than bottles. Less chance of the contents being copies.
Spiderboenz:
You don't have to drink the stuff; it's all about having something to destroy.
Drink! And it's becoming all too frequent, hence my retreat home after the Festival.
I used to drink till I realised it was that gave me the bcd's. Now the main cause of a bcd is my mcw, or 'mad Chinese wife'. Whatever the cause my favourite release is to pick up my shotgun and blow a few motherfuckers heads off. Nothing like playing a bit of Xbox when you need to unwind.
Hulk:
For a minute there I thought we were kindred folks. Then you had to go and say it's only something you do in video games.
mArtiAn:
Don't know what you mean, I was just listing my two favourite ways to let off steam. WHY YOU NO RISSEN!?
I go for a jog, punch into a boxing bag, when I reach that point from the accumulation of little things, I need to release my anger into something, preferably not people.
how about a poster of a Australian beach pined on the classroom wall whith a note that reads i can go here any time but you cant and a photo copy of a plane ticket under it
I seem to have a lot of those here in Zhongshan as well. I guess it has to do with the quality of the people being a lot lower than in neighboring cities.
Hotwater:
I always found Zhongshan Ren okay, except the owner of the website of the same name!
I hang out with my Chinese friends and play basketball or snooker. That reminds me people are goo everywhere.
