I've never 'got'

People on ebay who bid to within a gnats hair of the new price of something.

Watching something that you can get for £100 on amazon delivered, yet inc P&P this used one is already up to £79.

Lattes full stop, but particularly when they’re full of sugar syrup and flavours designed to mask the taste of the coffee.

They're a warm soft drink with caffeine. Similar to gash cocktails.

Reminds me of this from 2.00

Absolutely! Mandatory 99p start prices NOW!

I'm a nerd who builds models. People pay near full RRP for second hand ruined things on ebay. It can be 10 years old and painted by a blind man with no hands and people will still pay near enough full whack. It's annoying because deals are near impossible to find. Although likewise I've sold stuff for literally £2 under shop+postage price and it went in minutes.

I mean ultimately I'm just bitter about not being able to nab a good deal. But it's just that fucking around watching and bidding, and wondering why something not rare and widely available goes for what it does.

I mean you're always taking a bit of a punt on ebay anyway.

Something like Gixen is invaluable for ebay I find. Allows you to set loads of last minute bids and if you win one then the others are cancelled.

You either want the thing or you don't. If you want it, pay more than the other guy.

50 cent. Absolute bobbins

I've given up on gixen. They've made it such a fucking ball ache to use.

Why does the other guy put in multiple incremental bids with 5 days to go until it’s at or past the average eBay price?

Shill bidders, lazy bidders, windup bidders, people bidding up over the reserve. Does it matter why?

Because eBay tells them to "bid now to get a deal" which is a lie.

People who put their house number on their bin. Little Englander mentality. ‘That’s my bit of injection mounded plastic.’

Yeah, quite frustrating. Back in't student days, someone repeatedly nicked our bin. We had to nick one back from a different street and same numbered house each time. Went on for weeks. Fairly sure it was the same bin.

People who don't know which bin is there's, or neighborhood bin thieves that force you to have to order new bins from the council and probably pay for the pleasure.

I put a wheelie bin bag in mine and so don't have to wash out the maggots too often. It's numbered so that I don't get my neighbour's which is always full of what seems like the contents of a thousand ashtrays.

When you’re surrounded by students it becomes a necessity. They just nick them when they move out as they always seem to throw the entire contents of the house away in the process.

Does my head in. The house turns into an open skip for weeks afterwards.

Trying to chuck fridges away by putting them by their bins, only for the rag and bone guys to come around, strip the compressors off, then leave the white box kicking around indefinitely.

My local council have sent round notification that bins are not to be left out in the street (health risk), and repeat offenders will face legal action, so I've put my number on mine just to avoid possible legal action, absolutely nothing to do with marking my moulded plastic territory.

Handles. On forums, twitter, instagram. Why not just put your name as your name. Then people know who you are.

Ok, so you want to pretend to be someone else, for a joke or to do crime. Fine. (crime is not fine obvs but at least its logical)

But if you're not pretending to be someone else, I dont get it.
