Y'know what I REALLY hate? (Part 2 in a series)
OK.
So I'm surfing the web, as the kids today say. I mosey on over to eBay. I spot something ridiculously cool and -- gasp! -- cheap. It's being auctioned without reserve*
So I spot this item going for practically free with 36 hours to go. What should happen? Two IDIOTS start a bidding war to the point it's now going for pretty much twice my maximum threshhold of pain. I hope someone snipes it.
BASTIDS.

*Usually it's our British cousins who, on top of being a taciturn lot, also seem allergic to reserve auctions. (No puns about being reserved, please.)

I read down through all your posts. I love how you turned a phrase on it not being the last straw, but it was a straw in the back of a box of straws.
I hope I got that right!
bleah.
Also, the used sock search? Eeyew.
I know we have a smaller population but I think Australia should be given credit for there being only two listings for used socks on ebay.com.au and only ONE of them appears to be aimed at the fetish market (the seller has another listing for used ladies boxer shorts...)
e-hortations probably works when you talk about eBay...
I have a friend who "collects" bizarre eBay auctions and every once in a while, he sends me a link.
If regular eBay stresses BabBab out...imagine what these sorts of things will do. Poor girl must have run in a panic as if her hair had caught fire.
