I don't use ebay much anymore but when I do I go on to auctionstealer.com, its free, you put in the ebay item code and set it up to automatically make a bid a few seconds before the end of the auction, you set your highest price etc. Works a treat
Usually there is only one or 2 people after an item, if he current price is £15 they generally don't put a max bid of eg £50 on so they stay the highest bidder even when someone beats the £15, instead they wait to be outbid and put on £19 or whatever. This way when I put in my auctionstealer at max £50 it beats their current bid and they have no time to put in a counter bid. I could see how it would fume the other bidder but unless they pay over the odds but they didn't have much chance of winning it tbh, they just didn't know it

Boring business-related gripes today:
1) Currently working with a couple of French lads, from Marseille. According to the weather report it's currently 18 degrees where we are, but with humidity at over 70% and the fact we're in an office, it feels like 22 or 23 and everyone is in shirtsleeves... but these two lads want the heating on.
2) Smokers in the workplace. Absolutely done with them. We start at 8am and EVERY DAY the smokers turn up at 7:55, smoke until ten past eight and THEN start. Then they stop at 9 for "a quick smoke" which takes another ten minutes. It's five to ten now and I bet the same four people will be up and out in the next ten minutes. These absolute meat-trumpets work at least an hour less than everyone else every day.
3) New guy started last week, same level as me. First group meeting and he's sat there with a cup of peppermint tea, a bowl of quinoa chips (and prounounces it "keen-wah") and offering to lead a "deep dive" into the proposal of a "no-blame" workplace model. I'm pretty sure he's @Baines' left foot in disguise, sent to tip me over the edge into a full-blown killing spree.

I don't like hearing people swearing loudly in buses, trains, planes, pubs, cafes, shops etc.
If these words are to have any impact at all in our language they should be used sparingly and with true feeling.
Otherwise they are just ugly, empty words that add no emphasis to whatever banal remark is being voiced and simply offend and sadden other bystanders who happen to hear them.

Even worse is parents swearing in front of young children. Normally when they`re having an argument with another member of the Jeremy Kyle audience on the phone.

I worked in a school for 12 years where the f word was used as punctuation. It had no meaning and most if them didn't really know they were using the word when you pulled them up on it. Sad really. After 12 years I found myself using it occasionally, where previously I would never have.
The missus got a job in Honda and within 6 months she was effin and jeffin without realising. I had to put a stop to that! (Hard correcting somebody who's never wrong like).

Smoking breaks need to be seriously looked at. Totally unfair smokers get 10-15 minute breaks about 4 times a day.
First works night out, slip a couple of Gary’s into that bores drink.

Sorry but I have to disagree. How is this considered 'minor'? Can I add cars with rs flags by the way?TOWN= RS tat everywhere you look.
Even Marks and Spencer have a big banner in the window.
I am now boycotting them, and will buy my bagels elsewhere.
