This isn't exclusive to the internet. But I hate when you make a bid in Ebay in the last minute because by pure chance you found something and if it goes much higher you can't buy it. And some ass outbids you.

 

aw. heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell. NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW.

 

I fucking hate being outbided. Motherfuckers. I don't care if I have to sell my fucking house and sell my body as a cumdumpster if I can outbid you AND win it'll ALL. BE. FUCKING. WORTH IT.

last 5 mins? I've been outbid in the last 5 seconds of an auction. Several times. I effing hate ebay. I could have a whole thread about how dumb ebay is. Half the stuff is  used and still dearer than buying new from an actual shop that will have a guarantee and you'll definitely get the product. who is bidding those prices?!

I am a master Final Second Bidder. To play it safe, you don't put your max bid yet. What I love about eBay's system is that your max bid doesn't take effect until someone starts crawling up the bidding ladder thereby increasing your bid to out there's until it has reached the set max.

 

Only have been bested once, though I was also running on my dumpy Vista operated laptop. It couldn't handle the amount of last minute bids constantly changing the price and froze. I kinda got a bit... "pissed off." I was trying to get a nice PSP 2000 for cheap, so why not try for a Limited Edition White Darth Vader PSP with Battlefront II?

another thing that's super annoying is sellers pulling their items - either because they're selling it somewhere else too or (what I think is more common) they're not getting the price they wanted for it. eBay should have some sort of way of notifying buyers if a seller habitually pulls their auctions. I've missed out on stuff I've not bid on because I've already had a bid on a similar item that got pulled. More grrr.

Retarded online petitions, and boy are there a lot of them. 

 

SIGN HERE IF YOU'RE AGAINST WORLD HUNGER

 

SIGN HERE TO PROTEST EA GETTING THE STAR WARS LICENSE

 

If you make or sign one of these thinking it is actually going to change jack shit, then you have a hard, disillusioning life ahead of you.

This is the problem you see. It bugs the hell out of me. It's not the 1800s, we aren't using typewriters, there's no need for it. Fonts are designed with proper kerning. You don't need to double space. Because I am beset on all sides by American lawyers I see it all the time. Why couldn't you have had the proper use of the letters "s" and "u" drilled into you instead??? I WILL CUT YOU!
