Unintentional Yet Highly Effective Bargaining:


Nora [looking at lovely daffodils being sold along the sidewalk]: How much are these?
Middle-aged Russian Woman: 30.
Nora [thinking she has misheard]: How much?
MRW: 30 som.
Nora [thinking this is way too cheap for pretty spring flowers]: Wait, how much are they?
MRW: OK, I'll give them to you for 25 som.
