What's mildly irritating you today?

Yesterday afternoon I got a call from a mate whose other mate wants to sell a very good mountain bike (Specialized Enduro) quickly for holiday cash. I got in touch and arranged to go see it today. He was asking $500 and internet research reveals that new, this kind of bike goes for around $5,000. Absolute bargain. I was going to buy it.

The bloke called me this morning to tell me he has sold it to someone else.
Now, I am in exactly the same position as I was yesterday - no bike, but have $500. So why am I less happy about it now?

I am going to have to Buddha my way out of this.

Observe, grasshopper, how the attachment to desire is the cause of suffering. And remember, while having a bike is a reality, not having a bike is just a concept.
