See these dicks every day - intentionally getting into the wrong lane, then causing chaos as they try to push in at the front, clogging up live lanes as they straddle white lines trying to force a gap. Every single one of them is basically sticking two fingers up at everyone else their arrogance is causing delays.
^^ when I was commuting 45miles each way at the same time every day,, I also used to recognise people making the same mistake every time.
They rely on the car next to them being the better person.
What makes you think it's a mistake? Intentionally using the wrong lane so they can get the jump over a few other cars, classic.

Part of it is bad road planning of course.
Oh yeah it was obviously deliberate repeats..

Classic cockwomble behaviour.

Just bid your censored budget and let eBay do the work for you. furious

Still nowhere near my bid and over a day to go so it's either a speculative twunt or someone bidding it up for the seller (or the seller using a different account in place of spending 10p to set a reserve).

I see this sometimes, and I really don't know what kind of people do it. My instinct is "older people who don't understand how Ebay works".

My approach is just to slap in the absolute most I'm willing to pay, right at the end of the auction.
It's just a bunch of Twunts!



If I lose the auction in the last second due to a cheat app' I will be very annoyed.

If selling, I love these jokers, they get all excited about an auction and push up the price.

If buying, I hate these jokers, they get all excited about an auction and push up the price.

If you're buying you are much better using a cheat app, bidding early encourages people like these jokers to get excited and try and outbid you. Leave your bid to the last couple of seconds and they have nothing to get excited about wink

People who think this is all the windscreen you need to clear....

Plus, people who don't bother scraping the snow of the rear window - just goes to prove that you never use your mirrors

Personally I just defrost the front 3 windows and wing mirrors and then drive like that, I see it being no different than driving a van? If I have time I will do the rest but I’m far from a morning person.

I won’t however drive the car unless I have clear visibility through all three windows.

All windows, lights, mirrors, reflectors and number plates. Every time. I watch the weather forecast and set my alarm ten minutes earlier than usual.

The number of idiots who don't clear frost from their lights is ridiculous. Newer LED/HiD's that take a while to get warm look like they are on high beam all the time. Bloody menace. soapbox

it's quite clearly a bidding/cheating app. The pattern could only be created by automated bidding. It has basically ruined eBay. Well amongst a few other st things anyway.

I think I'm going to be on one of those dashcam videos based on the pointing and lightshow I got for 'undertaking' a car yesterday.

I guess the video will be edited to leave out the part were the driver pulled into lane 2 and slammed their brakes on to set up the undertake but it all about the Youtube views isn't it? rolleyes
Will probably be trying to get included on a compilation such as those from WelshDrive (who does show idiotic dashcammers for their stupidity as well as idiotic drivers).

Is this not how eBay's own proxy system works? Activity can be displayed with automatic increments not shown.

While we're on the subject of Dashcams.

My nomination for knob(s) goes to all those who decide to stop in a lane to have an argument/fight/whatever scumbags do. If you're intent on getting into it with another road user, fking pull over and then lose your teeth. Don't do it while holding everyone else up, we have lives you know.

no you wouldn't get a sequence of the same bidder bidding up. The proxy bid only bids up in response to other bids, if your max bid is higher than whatever they have bid at (although crucially this may not be their max bid either so it can jump up again)

I'd only suggest opening a Subway if you were in need of some dire eateries, really. Them, and bloody Costa too? The world would be a better place without both of them and their thoroughly unpleasant litterbug clientele...

Have you eaten in Bagshot? Subway is an improvement.


BTW, I never said Costa was a decent eatery... I said it took six months to open one in bagshot.

It's on that new development next to Cotswold Outdoor & Waitrose - across the road from the drive-through Costa.
Thanks... I left there before the Cotswold Outdoor went up.

Amatuer. You're only meant to clear a tank drivers slit and let the heater do the rest.

The knob in a Renault Scenic on the northbound M1 last night.
They were going slower and slower and rather then pull onto the hard shoulder stopped in lane 1!
They were very nearly collected by an artic luckily for them a tow truck was a few vehicles behind and bunged his amber lights oon to give traffic a bit of a warning.

People who instead of selling something raffle whatever it is usually without a Gaming license.

"Pile of car worth £800 can be your for a £20 bonus ball ticket. Once all fifty nine are sold the next draw determines the winner".

except that whilst it is still a relative novelty and gets shared around social media and featured in the local news, they make a stload more money than the thing is worth. Pretty clever really, not exactly knobs.

No - its a numpty who doesn't know how to use ebay properly. An app would bid once in the last few seconds.

Until a disgruntled looser reports them for it. hehe

Then the refunds and fine is usually more than they have made.
