Double vent:

The 'tightarses who also don't like losing' phenomenon
I don't understand the collectors mentality when it comes to ebay sales. If you list a G1 with a 99c starting bid but offer a buy it now (BIN) option at $40, people ignore the BIN option and fight each other in an auction instead. 7-10 days later they almost always end up paying more when they could've just clicked the BIN to begin with.

In my last 10 years of collecting, I've found this to be the case about 9 times of of 10. I don't get it.

The 'Monash Freeway' phenomenon
This is one for the Melbournians. Monash Freeway outbound - I've found half of the motorists tend to speed in the 80km/hr zone, despite the many cameras. They could be anyone; middle aged, elderly, young, a family car.

Once the Monash enters the 100km/hr zone, these SAME people pretty much retain their traveling speed. They do 90-95km/hr. They block the two right hand lanes. I always cruise past these same people who zoomed past me earlier in the 80 zone. I don't get it.
