What do you hate the most?

I wasn't a huge fan of the monotony trim, chamfer and debur process, then I bought 3way trimmer cutters, between that and a cheap case prep ctr with the primer pocket tools on it, life got a lot easier. Since then cleaning barrels has graduated to the top dislike slot, and it not all that bad.
 
I really dislike receiving a "your item has shipped" notification, only to discover that the shipment has merely been scheduled. The provided tracking number returns a notification that the shipper does not have actual package in their possession.

That's BS. It hasn't shipped!

I still haven't figured out why this is done or who it benefits, but it's annoying! Rant over.
 
I hate cleaning my rifle, work getting in the way of shooting time, bank telling me I don't have enough money to travel to every match I want no matter where it is, shooting a 9, fire forming brass, having to drive 50 miles to the range...

Just a few things.

And those are great things to hate.
 
I hate that I don’t have enough self discipline to prep every fired case I have on hand, instead of just 10-20 at a time.

After all, it would only take a couple days or so… maybe 3. Four at the most. No more than 5 tops…
It would take weeks for me to prep my .223 and .308 brass
 
Sometimes metallic handloading is just plain tedious. I can't say I hate it, but at times it's sure not intellectually rewarding. Mindless.

I do detest loading shotshells, though. Did it, hate it, and quit. To me, a shotshell only needs to go "bang" and spray a cloud of shot. A shotgun is little more than a hunk of conduit screwed to a 2x4. :p Real shotgunners can call me a heretic, but I stopped using my MEC years ago. It gathered dust and I eventually sold it. Instead I just buy cheap shotshells. Not that I'm much of a shotgunner, but the urge to break things visits now and then. Fortunately, it subsides when the weather turns sucky.
What really sucks is when you tip the bottles back not knowing you left the plugs out.
 
Thanks for the tip @64Rambler ! Forster has them on sale for $81 right now. I have a .22, 6mm and .308 on order. Trimming cases isn't fun, and chamfering is even less so. This should help!
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!
 
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.
