Here's a new way of losing an auction for me...I've experienced alot of crazy stuff in the past - some great wins/purchase, some agonizing loses/misses, etc.
Here's today's "d'oh" moment. I "human" snipe at the last seconds with 1-click bidding on items I want really bad.

I set my alarm and I bidded the next increment so I can do "1-click"...while I got a minute to go, I said why not clean a bit while I'm waiting for the last 5 seconds. As I wipe down my computer, my pinky accidently hits the "On/Off" switch! Oy my god...I was helpless as my computer takes it sweet time to shut down. What a ding **** I am!!!
Years ago, I would have flipped my lid and worry profusely. I take things in stride much better now and will find who won it and try to work it out down the line, but man did I have a Homer D'oh moment.
I hope this is an indication of me just getting older and more level headed rather than the start of a bad year.
