This is from the craigslist ad thread 565bbchevy posted, "...I really don't care if I sale this sexy cutlass or not."
Really? You don't care if you sell it? So, you just decided to post up some pics and a description of your car out of sheer boredom? Just thought we all just wanted to see it? "I don't care if I sell it". What a stupid thing to put in an ad.

A few weeks ago I was just giving you guys a hard time is all......

I'm 40 and very "Nit-Picky"

My biggest gripes are people who don't use their blinkers. Soccer moms that cut me off when I'm driving my 13 ton( when full of product) work truck.... And my biggest gripe is when you are already on the E-Way and the *ss-Bags coming down the on ramps think they have the "Right of Way"! You have to Yield to on-coming traffic....

Re-Read your driving class manuals...........

Here's another from the same ad-

"I be askn"

What kind of slum-rat, classless English is that? I hate it when people can't talk right, lest off refuse to type correctly. What point are you trying to make by spelling like that? That you are a lazy, uneducated moron who thinks they are tough because they can spell incorrectly? If so, you're doing a great job.

I have one that bugs me.When your looking around on ebay and you see an ad that says "no reserve".Then you click on the ad only to find there is a minimum starting bid.Isn't that exactly the same as having a reserve.Maybe it's just me,oh well.

I agree, but prefer the minimum starting bid. A reserve is just a tease. You get to bid, bid , bid in the hopes to find that magic number that lets you get lucky. A minimum I can look and if they want too much can move right on without wasting days wondering how much they want for the item.

Lots of things on Ebay drive the sh*t out of me. Like someone who starts an auction, lets it go to the last day and pulls it with some lame *ss excuse!!! I think if you post it, You should have to sell it!!

I've actually been finding some shady stuff like that at one of the live auto auctions in my area. They advertise as no reserve auctions and start the bidding as low as $50. Then after the bidding stops and it's "sold", the auctioneer puts the winning bid down as an "offer". At the end of the auction the winning "offer" maker gets to haggle (translation: make a higher offer) with the lot manager until a deal is struck. THAT IS NOT HOW AN AUCTION WORKS!
At one of the other auctions there is a pretty serious problem with phantom bidders -- people who pose as bidders to drive the price up. I've even seen the lot manager wait until the bidding ends, then place his own bid $1 higher right as the gavel drops. Not sure if that stuff is illegal, but it's certainly unethical.

My biggest gripes are people who don't use their blinkers.

I hate when people call turn signals, blinkers. Nothing against you it just make me remember it.....It was the way I was tought. My dad was a CDL trainer and trained school bus drivers. They don't call them blinkers because on a school bus alot of lights "blink". So they call them directionals or turn signals.

When people say 200r4 instead of 200-4R! Or when people say they are gonna "sale" something instead of sell it. Both things have probably already been mentioned but it seems like I see both alot!
