What are your pet peeves?
I can't stand people who can't drive properly in rain.

People who spit in public. Disgusting. And people who talk louder than they have to on buses and other public places. We don't all want to hear your conversation!

People who read over my shoulder (like on the bus for example), people who don't know when to use They're/there/their or your/you're, people who never say please or thanks (god I sound like my mum but it's still annoying).

Today's pet peeve for me is sharks on eBay. There were three magazines - himself and "D.A." stuff - but I only wanted one of them as I already had the other two so I contacted the seller and said I would pay her asking price for the three, plus the postageshe wanted for the three, but only wanted one and then she could re-list the others. She agreed, I paid, she closed the auction and then I said that, given that she'd based the postage on three heavy-ish A3 listings magazines and I was only having the one, could she send mine recorded delivery - a 78p charge? Guess what, no! Not content with what she had made on one magazine and the postage, she wanted more, and then would only send it first class so another £1.50. What an absolute bitch!
So many times you get people watching your stuff and no bids in the end - who knows why? - you'd have thought she'd just be grateful for getting what she asked for, what she made on the postage and then be thinking about what she might make on the other two mags., I know I would have been. I would have been happy to have included the rec. del. charge and the upgrade to first class but then I am a generous soul, and she, obviously, is not.
