There are two kinds of people on this earth: The crazy, and the insane. The first sign of insanity is denying that you're crazy.

Walk away and try somewhere else where there is no adversary. It's better to have no competition; the margins are better.

Or, objectively determine if their power/advantage is justified. If it is, a prudent person might reevaluate the situation. You know, learn about where they are coming from and why.

Not when you get pulled over.

Or ask yourself why you always end up in adversarial negotiations. _Good_ negotiations are a pair of new friends trying to make sure they'll still be friends at the end of a contract. For negotiations that start out adversarial I'm with you (unless you're trying to negotiate yourself out of a speeding ticket -- in that case walking/driving away probably isn't wise).

In the latter case, I prefer to walk away well in advance. For example, by hiring a driver along with the car in 3rd world countries.

Depends on if you prefer to be clubbed, shot, or tased.
