Just so you know, I can see two mistakes there:
- Judaism isn't a nationality, it's a religion.
- It's never a good idea to say Germans when you mean Nazis.

Wouldn't the fact that even non-practicing jews were persecuted qualify them as an ethnic group in this instance?

I hate it when I am taking a shower and the shower curtain insists on sticking to my leg and not the side of the bath tub.

ohh yeah that annoys me too... apparently in english you say 'nazis' instead of 'germans' but it's a bit strange isn't it ? :P

I'm not saying that it can't qualify them as an ethnic group in this case, but by definition, a person's nationality is their country of their birth.

My nationality is British (more specifically, English, but as I have Welsh ancestry as well, British seems more appropriate to me) - most people on this forum will have an American nationality.

To say that my nationality was atheist* would be kind of silly:
"Where were you born?"
"Oh, I was born in Atheist".

*Strictly, I'm a disciple of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but saying that earns me funny looks.

Curse my overactive visual imagination - a mental image of potatoflinger taking a shower was not what I needed right now.

I get kind of annoyed that I'm not much of a musician.
I used to play the trumpet, and before that, I used to be able to play the harmonica, but I've never been really good, and I've never been able to really enjoy it.

And watching this one particular guy (His excellent covers of Crushing Day & TCanon Rock) really pushes that home, because he's clearly enjoying just playing.

Damn him.

Also i really hate when i find really old posts on here and i cant post something on them cause they are either too old or are locked. :evil:


:EDIT: Holy crap 74 pages i think this is the most widely posted thread on sf! :D

I get really frustrated when I spend an entire day preparing for a big demonstration, and realise after I unload over 400 pounds of sensitive and potentially dangerous equipment at the range that my only sparkplug is broken beyond repair, I connected the wrong type of quick connect to the meter, and the wind is blowing so hard that I can't even do my balloon demo.

It pisses me off when, after devising and implementing brilliant field-repairs to the damaged systems, I take one shot, see a huge pall of black smoke appear, and discover that the newly extended and scraped out barrel (which cost over $100 all told) melted to the extent that it literally welded itself shut at the breach end. :x

I hate how some people are too lazy to travel to a proper shooting range :P

I hate it when I have to do so many repairs to f in minis
I hate it when my cat sits on the computer chair and gets it full of fur.
I hate it when epoxy sets too fast due to warm wheather. BTW putting it in the frezer for a few minutes slows down the epoxy.
I hate it when there is a secret that everybody but me knows.
I hate it when huge perch I get on summer vacation flip around and tear themselves off of my spear and swim away disemboweled somehow.
I hate it when I get hit in the face by richocheting pellets
I hate it when I cut myself with exacto knives.
I hate it when you look at this post.
You can tell how awesome a cannon is by the pressure used.
