Again, I was patching a vent on the roof today and swore at it like it wasn't an inanimate object, but like it could understand me lol. Then it popped in my head, everybody has a nemesis of some kind or the other. Mostly, mine is food, ice-cream. I don't buy it cause, I'll eat it all in one sittin.

So, what's your nemesis? Food, your partner, your neighbor, the 10mm socket you can never find, that one critter ya can't catch, that yougins today don't know who John Wayne is? Tell it!

Wow this is gonna be a good thread!

I’d narrow mine down to
Big mean dogs
Cooking pasta (I swear I can cook a flamingo but not spaghetti…nervous breakdown)
Feelings of inadequacy
Fear of Loss
Religion (not to be confused with spirituality)

My lack of tolerance!

I do the same .........when I'm wrenching on sumthin

Wife will say who you calling a dirty.....blankety.. blank .. hoar ....lol

I believe ima releasing stress ....and makes the project go smoother....

Age, if you don't think so your not old enough.

This will prolly kill me

Small engines
Anything related to the internet or cellphones

home & vehicle repair.

no patience.
no (real) knowledge.

but mostly...ZERO patience!

My guilty conscience.

K, I knew you were gonna say that. Listen bud, you don't have to feel guilty for not building me a Kentucky rifle or a scrolled powder horn. I release you from this burden.

LOL, not even the tip of the iceberg.

Straight truth Vink........yep

Incidental coon on the mink or fisher line!!!

Gravity

Lazy idiots I work part time with.

I 2nd the ice cream. Before low carb yes I would/ could finish the container I open the same night. Figuring work life balance and lately more and more back being un comfortable, legs not wanting to function as they should and.feeling in them.being off. The kicker Is head feel like recovering from concussion off and on as well. Kind of making me think maybe I do need to go back to the neurologists but of course I don't.

In-laws. I've got it to where I only see them pretty much just at Christmas. If I can get it to zero, that would be the cat's meow.

This is too funny! Right now, tonight I’ve got my two stepdaughters in their late 50s staying with us from the East Coast. Their dad is pretty sick in our hospital so they come and stay with their mom & I twice in the past 3 weeks. The problem is that they think their stay is open-ended! They say they will (not ask) stay for a few days and the next thing I know they’re talking about maybe a few more days but don’t know could be longer!!!! Now I’m PO’D so I tried to have a step-father type talk with them just an hour ago and it didn’t go too well but I did get across to them the analogy that after 3 days fish goes bad! LMAO!
Remember, I did say lack of tolerance!

Don't blame you one bit ^^^^^

Overstay is not good

Zippers!
Being that I have a larger girth than I should have, zippers on my coats tend to open midway between the zipping mechanism and the bottom of the coat. Makes it hard to take off a coat.
Also, being older some times when I gotta' go I gotta' go! Last week the zipper handle on my pants broke off just when I needed to unzip them fast. Was able to unbutton the pants and slide them down to my knees to use a urinal but the guy who walked in while I was attending to business gave me a weird look. Bet he told his wife "You never know what you will see at a rest area on Interstate 80".

When I was a teen (33 now) used to be pretty good with computers. Now the world is so fast forwarded 24/7 it just keeps spinning faster. I know every generation complains a bit about the next and talks about the "good old days" but I think since the internet came out, and video games, non stop entertainment and videos, TV etc. have completely taken over and tell people how to think and what to crave it's gone completely insane. So, Screens are what bug me I guess (meanwhile sitting here being a hypocrite)

I found a journal entry I wrote where I said screens are a poison, and nature is the remedy. Sounds about right to me. everything else can be solved with time & faith and taking a deep breath.

Carpenter

Interesting question on here. I've heard some people that have been asked the same basic question . . . and their "honest answer" . . . was THEMSELVES! . . . can't get more honest than that if you think about it . . .

Any one on their cell phone while driving, drives me insane, and they cause so many accidents !!

Female emotion. I have zero understanding of it, yet it plays a large role in how my days play out for some reason lol

ME, is my biggest. I am usually doing stuff all the time and if something pops up not in plans usually fires me up.

I am old, fat, and ortho challenged with only one good knee. Also my fingers get very cold in freezing weather.

Small talk. I can go for hours without talking unless I have something to say that I feel is important or might be interesting to someone. People that need to fill every quiet moment with conversation drives me crazy. This is why I mainly hunt,fish,trap etc.by myself.

I'm with you on this Sundance. Some peaple just like to hear themselves talk.

Chocolate and beer! I need to stop both

Prickly ash, stinging nettle, pretty much anything with a thorn on it in the woods

Project managers, designers, and yellow jackets.

Ground moles

I'm with you guys on this. I don't like it when people stop by and spend the whole afternoon to visit because they don't have anything else to do. I have too many things to do than to spend half a day to visit about nothing.

Time

I could fill 30 hours in every day

but 24 I get and 6 I sleep

Phragmites

^^^^LMAO^^^^
I understand. I have a wife and 4 daughters. I'm really good at getting one or all of them fired up without even trying. 30+ years in the building trades, I don't have a good filter and have no feelings.

Northern BBQ, just what the heck is that stuff exactly? Lol.

Be more specific.

X2. I fixed it for you !

No man is an island unto himself. How many times have I found myself alone and paranoid in my own cave thinking all was against me, then I hear that still small voice? A grave makes a great hiding place until someone throws the dirt in, lol.

Golf

"We have met the enemy and he is us!" ( Pogo the possum)

I've created a few beaver (by popping a toe or a toenail) that became my greatest nemesis.

Procrastinating I dont have time for anything

Actually Jeff, I was righting a paper on how procrastination effects are everyday lives. I also made this pie chart to support my theory. Oh and, uhm, I haven't gotten around to finishing it yet.
