This conversation is mildly infuriating me. (5/11)

It was going smoothly, I mean negotiations are part of the process and we always counter with a super low rate. I was okay with that because my thought process while reading that part was that they will mutually agree on a rate somewhere in the middle.

But when I read the part where OP had no understanding of the fact that how could a Russian know how to teach French, I absolutely lost it. This mother has no brain cells and I can bet her entitled butt will not like it when she loses this deal and the tutor rejects all counters.
