Down here in Oz we are about to have federal elections. One of the
'stake holders' (not a political party) wants to get their message
across on the day and has 200 plastic posters to spread around the
city. They came to me to get A Frames made to hold the posters - I
agreed to do it for the cost of the materials as I support their
particular cause.
While assembling the pieces I mentioned that this job would be a lot
faster if I had a brad nailer. They instantly offered to go halves with
me and I accepted.
So now I have a brand new Paslode bradder for half price!
Does that qualify for a "You suck!"?

I'd have to disagree. You suck, regardless.
Nice bit of negotiating.
