What your pet aversion?

[Groggy]

A fly going berserk in your ear.

Skew's crappy pencils

[munruben]

I hate adjustable spanners.

[rhancock]

I absolutely detest shadow boards.

Me too.. You're just asking to be reminded about the tool you've lost, or the one you lent and never got back, or the one some b#$%#d nicked.

And Skew's pencils.

And planes resting on their blades.

And tool boxes which are too small for the number of tools you've got. Which is all of them cos as soon as you find one big enough, you have to buy more tools.

But most of all, and I know this won't be popular on the forum, but I hate MESS!! It means the only way to find that widget you dropped is when you stand on it and bend it out of shape. It means that you're breathing in the dust you made yesterday, and last week, and last month. It means you don't find that tool you really need to use, until you don't need it anymore.

Sunset.............on Sunday because tomorrow is............

[pitbull]

Arthritis, cos' i can't do the the things i used to do.
And borrowers, "can i borrow","NO YOU CAN'T!!"

[Doughboy]

Vegetarians who eat fish and chicken. If you dont eat red meat just say you dont eat red meat because sure as eggs you are not a damn vegetarian!!!

I have two at the moment,

1. is those stupid stickers they put on every piece of wood you buy these days, and they charge so much you can't afford to cut them off and they are impossible to get of.

2. Is Murphys law, I wish he'd leave me alone

Cos he always sticks them on the best bit of wood, doesn't he!

When members don't acknowledge the advice given in reply to a question asked by them....not acknowledging the effort gone in replying is a complete lack of manners and insulting.

Yep, been a bit of that lately, even after sending redone scans by private email and still no acknowledgement. Plain bad manners.

Woodwork related, I hate trying to turn anything the same, as in a mulitple, a matching pair!!
Non-woodwork, I hate litter...endless stupid trails of it on every highway, then the odd deposit of bags full from a boot or ute. What the %$&^ is wrong with hanging onto it untill you find a bin, its beyond me.

Cheers,

Putting planes down not on there side , I even put those stanley form files on there sides , cause even though he passed on 20 years ago I think my old dad would come back and give me hell if I didn't.
The one thing that gets me the most thouht is those rules that are exactly 1cm or 1" short , the ones that no matter how carefully you mark out the cut is 1" or 1cm short

Don't know what it's like here but in Canada I could be out in the middle of nowhere. Literally a days drive from a town of any size and and a few hours hike along a river and STILL I find McSh*t wrappers and or beer cans.

You have repeated yourself four times there
but I agree wholeheartedly

My old man (may he rest in peace) had a list of pet hates longer than 'Different' and oh boy we needed to know them or else.
It's really strange to notice my young bloke (26yo) has the same kind of nature. It's like twilight Zone stuff for me. Can't believe when he goes off about leaving a door slightly open -even with a screen door closed.
I have MY pet hates but I try not to take them out on others - apart from when it affects me personally.

SWMBO uses chisels for all sorts of things and after sharpening them to see them used for everything except opening paint tins - bought a $8.50 set from home hardware and have these on display. They get used every time.
Pet hates: do something about it is my suggestion. Ask Telstra, Optus, Ford Australia, *&%$#@ Kitchens, Talon Tools, Makita Online ...... they know me.
