there are so many good ones here. some of mine are
1. Cool, quirky jigs I MacGyvered together that I couldn't
part with but forgot what they are for or took apart
for storage and have no idea how to put them back together
2. Catching clothing on vise and cabinet door
handles
3. Sandpaper, in particular super fine wet silicon carbide
that I tear into small pieces and don't write the grit
on the back
4. Straightest piece of wood in stack but has the most
surface blemishes
5. Carrying full 5 x 5 sheets of Baltic Birch esp. through
a doorway. You have to do your best Chuck Berry duck
walk imitation
6. Solvent cans with the spout in the middle of the can's
top. 1. you can't get a good grip on the child proof
cap to open it and 2.once you get it open they pour so
badly that your bound to get solvent everywhere.
7. Long twisted and kinked extension cords
8. Changing dust collector bags and bagging out shop vac
filters.
9. Dealing with dust collection system connectors and
nozzle adapters
10. Banding strap identations on the factory edges on the top
and bottom sheets of your plywood delivery
11. Dropping the nut and/or washer in the table saw cabinet
12. Jointing a twist out of aboard
13. I worked in a public shop for a few years, so changing
jointer/planer blades every couple of weeks sucked


Also, did someone comment about how its crazy to use super glue on finger splits...crazy, but it was intended for battlefield suturing. Don't if that means it 's good to use regularly but it's the only thing, short of chopping off your fingers that beats N.E. winter finger splits esp. if you also work in the home improvement sector where you find yourself sometimes doing tile, concrete, basic masonry or what I call the Wet Trades...murder on the hand in winter ...no pain quite like it. Miserable is he on the jobsite who forgets his crazy glue in the winter.
