What do you hate the most?

A follow-up and another thanks to @64Rambler. I had a chance to try my new Forster 3-way trimmers today. I am very pleased! Trimming is done the same way as with the old-school Forster cutter, but you get a 3-fer! Trim the case and it's also nicely chamfered inside and outside. Woo Hoo!
Some of the best money I ever spent. I use it every time to chamfer/deburr. Its faster and easier than doing it with a chamfer tool and all cases are the same length.
FYI, you will need the longer forster base to trim '06 class cases.
I like how the primer pockets come out of the pin tumbler but hate dealing with the mess and separating the brass and media.
 
I didn't twig it until this evening. I had to anneal about 100 brass. I noted that the necks needed to be cleaned with OOOO steel wool. I hate cleaning the necks by hand. I need to find a better way.

Suggestions?
 
When you get factory packed prescriptions or over the counter meds and they have that tamper proof foil protection. I never can get all of that stuff off the bottle. Then when you need 1 you shake and shake then you get 12 instead of 1. Trimming brass can be tedious also.
Being pressed to get the immodium out of the little foil packet and not getting it out in time....
 
Cancer is the biggest I dislike.

I've been married 3 times.
Wife #1 divorced, that was my best option as I would have been out of jail many years now.
Wife #2 died 19 years ago after having breast cancer 3 times. A lumpectomy, then a total mastectomy, and finally it had metastasized and showed up as the worst case of diaper rash. Died July 27 2006 in my arms at home.
Wife #3 I lost April 9th 2025 to colon cancer, found on a colonoscopy on November 3rd 2023.
I also lost my Dad to liver cancer on November 18th 1974.

On August 24th, 2025, my gun club had a memorial match in honour of my wife. We raised $2200.00 for the Hospice where she died.
The photo before, was taken before the start of the match, and they wore them during the match, and after was the t-shirts were removed, placed over the target frames and shot, then the put them back on for the after photo.

Reloading is my release from a stressful occupation. I enjoy all of it. With my reloading, the longer it takes the more stress relief I enjoy. Sure there are a few things more enjoyable than others but it’s all one big process. I enjoy the process. Hate is a pretty strong word and I guess the only think I really “hate” is sin. But there are a few things I dislike within the reloading/shooting world.

Getting an order going online,because that's the only way on some shop stuff... should be a simple size chart,like a XY scale or something. And their website is so infested with "cookies" or data mining that their program is more concerned with what I had for breakfast, or shoe size....what brand of truck I want,etc,etc.

What should be a cpl minutes MAX turns into a dumpster fire. Oh,and the whole time some chatty cathy keeps popping in wanting to know how to help?

There's some good ones... got a bandsaw blade supplier; length/width/tooth count DONE, "Thankyou, invoice forthcoming".
