win-lose bargaining

The result of a possible win-win scenario in which the clear beneficiary of the win-win scenario fails to keep their end of the bargain, resulting later into a win-lose scenario.

Commonly found with people who fail to transition a informal verbal agreement to a formal written agreement, backstabbers, double-cross someone, or dealing with someone with a "do nothin', get everythin'" mentality.
1.) When Paul failed to wash the dishes all week after his father let him go to a party the previous week, his father realized that he was a victim of win-lose bargaining.

2.) Mike had been involved with some win-lose bargaining when he and Ken agreed to split the bill only for Ken to leave without notice, leaving Mike to pay for the large meal.

3.) When someone agrees to give another head after they themselves have been given head, but then leaves, the giver of head is on the losing side of the win-lose bargaining.

Win

You didn't win shit. You collectivized to steal my shit because I made you and your slut daughters cry because you know and they know that they are fucking the fat cocks indiscriminately. So you take your revenge by making my life hell all the while pretending you weren't crying like a bitch a second ago and pretending that I'm not better than you, which I am.
Hym "And it's going to be someone else's daughter who pays the price. You didn't win. You ran because 'you don't think you're better than anyone.' You're trying to avoid giving me credit for my profound accomplishment and if someone doesn't stop you there is no amount of 'Yeah but we had to teach that guy a lesson' that is going to make it up to the person it effects. I'll take my Nobel Peace Prize and my money now."
