    I've been an eBay member since the beginning. Like 30 years. I can say without hesitation that every year they get a little bit more... "annoying."

    I had a million dollar revenue business on eBay and they booted me for idiotic reasons. 99.7% feedback, full time customer service reps, returns free, paid them $300k+ a year in fees. Some punk kid rep pushed a button for an arbitrary infraction and it was all gone. Took it all the way to the eBay president's office and no dice. Stupid company, **** them all.

    Damn. I would feel the same way in your shoes.

    I hope our lifetime something bigger and better comes along (and that they don't quickly ruin a good thing too).

    Mercari.com and shopgoodwill.com are decent. I try to use them or really any other source before I shop on eBay.

    Again....there are 2 lanes. Left lane is left turn only. Right lane is left turn and straight only.

    What am I supposed to do if I'm going straight?

    potholes

    I don’t mind paying taxes, just put it to good use

    there’s no need for roads to be looking like an earthquake aftermath

    hit me a FAT pothole and boom, immediate flat tire

    now I gotta spend time putting on the spare and get a new tire

    annoying AF

    I have probably mentioned this before, but inept grocery store employees are pretty annoying. And it's always some 16 year old with a peach fuzz mustache flirting with the 4 foot 8 teenage checkout girl as he shoves potatoes onto my hamburger buns. They may be potato buns but that doesn't mean they go in the same bag!!

    He's just shoving all kinds of heavy **** (shampoo, bottle of iced tea, potatoes) into the bag with the bread. And I am looking at the bags, then to the manager standing against the window kind of scanning all the registers. Finally after a good 7 glances back and forth he asks if everything is okay. I just raise my eyebrows and nod towards the bag of dumbbells in front of me.

    I am a Karen. I call HEB every few months and remind them about how simple this is to teach and how it used to be a universal thing. Never had this problem at the Foodarama, I can tell you that! I come from a family of grocers. This is personal to me. lol
