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.Cheers, Richard

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.

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 shortAshore
The trouble with life is there's no background music.

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.
