Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol 4)
Discussion
Whatever the hell eBay have done in the last few weeks.
I buy a lot of car related stuff on eBay and sometimes there just isn't enough info on the listing and I need to ask the seller to clarify something.
Lately when trying to contact sellers, I seem to be running into "We're sorry we couldn't find an answer for you. Unfortunately, this seller is unable to respond to your question. We suggest reviewing the item again to see if your answer is in the seller's listing."
If it's something I really need or only a few sellers have then I have to spend time going PI and tracking down an email address for the seller. The ones I have found had no idea that people are unable to contact them through eBay!
WTF are you thinking eBay!
Some of these parts are £400+ I'm not going to take a gamble on something where I can't even ask the seller a simple question.

40 years into my pitiful life and I still open boxes of tablets at the end where the leaflet inside blocks their removal. What's worse is that despite this irritating me every time I still don't remove the leaflet and bin it so it won't annoy me next time.
So essentially I annoy myself, probably not beyond reason though.

You are not alone In fact, I realised that in 40 years of life, I have the innate ability to get EVERY SINGLE ITEM OF SEASONING that exists in a dish. Example: My mum does amazing curries (she's Mauritian so they're brilliant) and she'll use cardamon pods, cinnamon sticks and cloves amongst other things - She cooked some curry (some = Enough to feed several small countries) and I got 5 of the 6 cardamon pods, most of the cloves and some cinnamon sticks. This has plagued me my entire life....

I've made a study of this, and have found that at least 80% of the time the leaflet is the same end as the barcode on the box. I had that from a woman whose job is to replace the leaflets in pills packets etc when they need to be updated, subsequent tests have confirmed it.So essentially I annoy myself, probably not beyond reason though.

You are not alone The fact it makes you take the leaflet out, throw it away, and then can't find it if needed, is apparently my fault.
I'm sure it's already been said more than once, but is it possible for a thread to exist without some idiot pontificating about their views on the bloody EU and some equally moronic tt responding and derailing the thread I don't care how you voted, or whether you agree or not, there are so many to choose from in NP&E just fk off over there!!!
