I'm slightly irritated when people don't credit, tag or caption random images.
Take this photo of a male musician from the 1960s as an example. I thought it might be Gram Parsons and a colleague disagreed, but we still don't know who's right. We know it's a musician as we've seen him before, but who? The person who uploaded that image didn't put up any details. So irritating.
Same with animated gifs and screen captures of films. Nothing drives me crazier than recognising the image but don't remember which film it's from. Like this one with Audrey Hepburn.
eBay buyers that message asking what the buy it now price is even though it's on the ad.
Also buyers asking what's the price I'll take for it even though there is the option to make an offer on the ad. Clearly I want the advertised price however I'll consider an offer below that if it's not silly so make a flaming offer instead of messaging me to give you a lower price.

Methinks they must be newbies to this "make an offer" option.
As was I until a couple of days ago, but (unlike them) I had the foresight, the ingenuity, the gumption, the awe inspiring cleverness to google first and found a right useful "so this is how this works" page. The item was on sale for £10, had it NOT had the m.a.o option I'da £10 it right away, but as it did -> £5 woulda been taking the piss, so I offered £8 and the guy accepted it a few hours later, big thumps up to me and my £2 saving.
People referring to paedophiles and other depraved criminals as "animals". They are 100% human as far as I can see and no animal would ever behave like that.
The noises made by amateur football teams on the football pitches near me. All that swearing and yelling disturbs my sense of peace at the weekend.
Women obsessed with their breasts.

Of course they might just be dicks. >:(
That's where the annoying part comes in.
They're clearly not "newbies", they're just dicks trying to get you to flog it to them for the lowest price possible.

Yes. And shinty players as well. We are a good 300 yards from the pitch and we hear it loud and clear. Can't they play quietly?

What's worse is they're lazy dicks, cos dicks would make an offer of £1, then £2, then £3 etc etc for an item with "starting bid of £100". They're worse cos they can't even be bothered to do that. :sheesh:
Guess eBay haven't yet provided sellers with a "go fk yourself" response button for such people.

On something being advertised for £100 I'd decline any offers of £60 and below as offering close to half price is taking the pee. £70 I'd consider but probably counter with £80.
£80 would get strong consideration but £90 would guarantee a sale.
Even more annoying can be the jerks that try to convince you that your price is way too high and it should be a lot lower.
One guy sent several messages saying he'd seen the item elsewhere at the price he was offering so he thought it was only fair I sold it to him at the same price. My response was "That's great! Then you'll be buying it from the other place and not be wasting my time then! Everyone's happy!"
Joker.
FOX news (not that I watch it, just aware of it through rustyrockets) particularly Greg Gutfeld and his cronies, Sean Hannity and Captain asshole himself Bill O'reilly.
Having to wait 30 mins from taking my serrapeptase to taking my raspberry ketone then having to wait another 30-60 mins before I can have something to eat
An eBay item with a buy-it-now price of £3.50 (it's an old rare comic) that has a "best offer" option.
Who the heck would look at the price, rub their chins and think to themselves, "oooh, I want it but at £3.50 that's just tooo darn expensive", then offers something like £2 ?
The seller is offering free P+P so at £3.50 he's kinda just breaking even, so why have that "best offer" option there..... maybe something things are just not meant to be understood.
This doesn't annoy me intensely, but it mildly peeves me.
When I buy something using a debit or credit card, I keep the credit slip until I see an online statement, then I check that I haven't been billed £200 for a £100 restaurant bill, or £90 for a £80 shirt, you get the picture, I then shred the slips.
My wife however, will put the slips on the fridge with a magnet, never checking them against a statement, then when the fridge doors are needing space, she'll take the slips off and put them in the recycling box with other bits of paper.
Granted the slips don't have her complete card numbers, but I feel that checking then shredding is the safer option.
T...Granted the slips don't have her complete card numbers, but I feel that checking then shredding is the safer option.
I have the distinct feeling that some receipts show the first bunch of digits but blank out the rest and the others show the last bunch of digits but blank out the first, so all the baddies need to do is find enough receipts and they can cobble together your details and fk your bank balance silly >:( - I could be mistaken though.
Also, shredding is really REALLY fun and could only be made more funner if afterwards you could turn yourself into a hamster and then rummage around in the shreddings.
The fact that every Captain America: The Winter Soldier Blu-ray/DVD comes with a pack of Hero Attax trading cards, but nowhere in Peterborough seems to sell the binder for them.

Looks like Dave Gilmour to me.

I know - that's what I always think too! Glad someone else shares my annoyance...

Agree with this, Even more annoying when they are the only person replying to a thread or they are posting multiple times in the same thread
