^and they always seem to do it in the MIDDLE of the pavement so which ever side you're on you STILL have to swerve.

Pretentious fans of artists. They will not accept anyone disliking them (which is at odds with the open-minded nature of the stereotypical artist).. You're either a troll or don't understand the capitalistic allegories and subversive Bryon-esque metaphors with a touch of pathetic fallacy...or something like that, hidden in said artists' work.

I feel same about film fans' snobbery. "How could you possibly dislike Les dames du Bois de Boulogne? Citizen Kane? 2001: A Space Odyssey? The 400 Blows?" Shut the **** up. People can like whatever they like. That's the point of cinema.

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.”

It's probably because it's easier to just use an existing template or make a new listing using the 'Sell Similar' option. It's less things to input with each comic he lists. It's really only there for the more expensive titles he has for sale, even if he does neglect to remove it from the cheaper auctions.
An eBay seller who uses poor and crappy packaging but the item still manages to arrive in perfect condition. On the one hand you really want to bitch them out for their lack of packaging skills, but on the other hand you can't really do that cos the item arrive AOK.
You could be right..... And I turned out to be the exact type of person I was bitching about as I offered him £3.20 which he accepted - my reason being I only had £3.20 left in my paypal account (though I kinda forgot to mention the account would be boosted by funds probably on Monday). Hopefully that 30p I screwed him out of wasn't gonna be used on the protective cardboard insert.

And in supermarkets.
Why does the very start of an ordinary cold make you feel as tho you are dying? We mock men when they have "man flu" but TBH I shall never do that again. It's not often I get a cold, perhaps one a year at the most, but it's so bloody annoying. I had to carry my medicinal brandy and bowl of soup with my head tilted right back to prevent my nose dripping into it. That didn't work 
Now my nose is raw, I can't breath, speak, cough or even move without every part of my body crying out. 
I am a woman and I have MAN FLU!!

Waterstones has locked me out of my account - why?! Really annoying as I'm supposed to be ordering bday presents on there.

And crap music played in my gym.
I'm getting annoyed at LinkedIn. I'm trying to log on from work but it thinks it is suspicious as I've never logged on from this IP before so it sends an email to Hotmail with a security code. But I can't get into Hotmail from work. So I tried to add work email to LinkedIn to get the code here, but I have to verify the email address by clicking a link. That requires me to log in to verify it, which puts me up against the security wall again.
Has the same problem with Hotmail on holiday ~ you haven't used this machine please verify account , we will send an emali to your alternative account.... but that was hotmail as well !!!!
People who buy things from you on eBay, then wait days before paying. What is that about?! They bid on the day the auction ended, and they receive two emails from eBay, and a further one from me with an invoice - It's not as if they're unaware of now having to pay for it, ffs!!
Avon, betterware and all the other catalogue things!
We keep getting them put through with a note to leave it out the next day for collection. If you dont notice it you then get them knocking on the door early the next morning.
The thing is if i wanted anything from the catalogue i would much rather go on ebay and buy it for half the price through paypal. That way i dont have to give my details to a stranger, i know im protected if the item doesnt get to me and also i know if im not in then it will be at the post office.
I just dont get why in this day and age people still buy this way? Ok you cant buy things such as avon scented bubble baths elsewhere but with so many to choose from i cant say im missing out on avons stuff. It just seems like such an odd way of shopping.
I can go on ebay now, buy a spatula for 99p and it will be here for free p&p on thursday. Or i could find one in the catalogue for double the price, write out my bank details, leave it outside to be collected tomorrow. Then wait until the person sends off all the orders, then wait for it to be delivered to them and then wait until they deliver it.
I dont know if things have changed now but my mum used to order from avon because her friend delivered it so she did it to help her out and it could be 3-4 weeks before she got what she ordered!

I've only twice NOT paid immediately after the auction ended, me being around at the time cos I like to snipe. These two time were because my fund hadn't cleared into the paypal account yet. I felt ok with this delay cos I informed the sellers BEFORE placing the bid and got a "that's fine, dude, thanks for letting me know, you are ace" (ish) reply. Though if you're referring to winners who didn't make last second bids then methinks bigger things might be in play - they could be away for the weekend having made their bid before they left, or were outbid by someone who later retracted, but they didn't know this as they'd since gone elsewhere. But delayed payment for no good reason is oikish.

I've had it happen to me with "Buy It Now" sales too.
Seriously, if you can click on the button to buy it now then why wouldn't you then immediately pay? Some have waited up to 3 days and then only paid because I sent an invoice reminder.
