That's where your Watch List comes in handy!
if you're not one for checking your email often then this doesn't always stop you missing out
Sometime you do get lucky and the seller relists the item you missed.

Getting a Next directory in the post when you haven't subscribed to get them!
If you have an account make sure they aren't charging you. They keep sending me one and charging me £3.95 for it despite the fact we regularly go through the drill of me phoning to tell them to stop sending me catalogues and them apologising, assuring me I won't be sent one in future. Yet before long another arrives and is charged to my account.

I have never sounded my horn. I find people who do so very odd as bad as shouting at someone who made a mistake.
You should sound your horn to let someone know you are there, in the case that they maybe can't see you. Someone reversing out of a drive is probably the perfect example.

I got a new laptop which in general is good but it has some of the most idiotic, useless, pain-in-the-arse shortcuts/buttons on it. And my cat has a habit of suddenly running across my bed (including the laptop) and pressing a mish mash of buttons.

A button to turn the horizontal screen vertical -WHY? Why would I ever need that. It took me 30mins to get it back to normal.

Another one Fn and F9, which stops the mouse from working. Why would I ever want to disable my mouse/cursor?
Who the bloody hell comes up with these things?!

That reminds me of a prank someone in our office played on a few people's PC's just after they'd gone to lunch. They came back to find their screens displaying upside down.

I use a wireless mouse and not the built in one on my laptop, and quite often disable the built in one so I don't move the mouse around/accidentally click on something when i'm typing

Wrapping presents, I am so bad at it! It's too fiddly and I hate stickytape!

People who say "irregardless": the "less" part makes the "ir" part irrelevant.

That's one instance where it is useful. I can't really think of any other uses for the button.


A trivial thing that annoys me is people in this house drinking those little yogurt drinks (Actimel etc) and never ever putting them in the bin. Seeing those little plastic bottles and wet silver foil pieces fills me with a burning rage. Pure laziness on their part.

Duplicate threads where the first or second reply gives a link to an ongoing thread yet people keep replying in it so there are two pretty much identical threads going.

If I ever needed to fight or even kill somebody, all I'd need to do is attempt to wrap a few Christmas presents and they wouldn't stand a chance.

I've given up completely and now put everything in those gift bags. It's a lot more expensive, but far better for the blood pressure and sanity.

When you see an important item relisted but don't snap it up real quick and then find someone else jumped in AGAIN. :bugger:

Dumb posts from dumb people. And/or self righteous types who INSIST their opinion is right/correct/politically correct ergo you must be wrong/something wrong with you/politically incorrect and must die in the inferno of damnation for all eternity. In other words, most posts on this forum.

Itunes 12, well it's just not very good.

My main gripe is why is the text so small? Why?
I have set it to 'Large' size in options and it's still too small.

Most adverts. I like things plain and simple. Stop using kittens and pups to advertise biscuits and loo roll. Can't they just show someone going "fxck me, that biscuit is well chocolatey" or "I used this to wipe my button and now I'm a new man!" Perhaps I'm just sick of the same 4 adverts on 4OD

I've just seen my niece's Advent Calendar. Which bonehead at Cadbury's decided it was a good idea to have all the numbers in order and which utter moron approved it?

I was so pissed of I went out to buy her a proper one but all that's left are loads of One Direction ones (what's wrong boys, not as popular as we're told?) but both she and I have too much taste for that.

^probably the Health and Safety (?) people at Cadburys feared being sued by parents whose little diddums find counting hard, couldn't find the right date and got all depressed 'n stuff, so made the Calendar designer put the numbers in order. Of course this doesn't stop you either putting your own numbered stickers over the boring ones. Or giving her a set of darts and playing something akin to a daily game of Bullseye. Though if she's anything like me (1) poor dear and (2) she's was so miffed at the piddly size of Day 1's offering that she finished off the lot sooner after.

I'm sure it's been around for a while, but for some reason this year the inclusion of penguins in Christmas themes/displays really annoys me. Everyone knows Santa lives at the NORTH pole. Reindeer? Yes. Polar bears? Yes. Penguins? Uhhh, no, that would be the South pole, thank you very much.

My idiot former neighbour who thinks I'm still responsible for what happens in my flat despite selling it 12 years ago! Met him this morning and he went into a rant about how I'll have to do something about the people in it as the woman is pregnant and he doesn't want kids living above him.
Every time I see him he has a moan about the occupants (there have been three owners since I moved out... I wonder why ) and expects me to a) do something about it and b) give a flying *!@!
