What really grinds your gears? The Pet Peeves Thread

[Morr]

Lol we had a guy like that, went round the shop and put about £100 worth of stuff in the bag, he wasnt even sly about it. The manager asked him what he was doing and he said he wasnt actually going to take them, he was just seeing if he could....
...He got barred.

My LGS is literally right next door to the local police station. We don't really have that problem.

Eh, we've had... non cases like that which make me wonder 'bout mine. Like if the staff are busy and someone wants paint or something they'll just take one and start using it, then pay later.
Like the staff don't even SEE this half the times. Everyone always pays, but... part of me wonders if they would ever notice some paint going missing. :/

Here's what really grinds my gears. Today, I wanted to prime some stuff and BAM, it starts to rain.

I don't know where you live...but welcome to my life. Over summer, when I have time to hobby, it rains every day in the middle of the day...and is humid 24/7

Arch that sounds like Florida.

[Architech]

Funny, that...

Any time, any day, rain beats snow.

Another thing that chaps my hide. Hand priming the Tomb Kings carrion wings!

Not having a sense of scale for aftermarket bitz sucks. The new gas mask heads from Kromlech are awesome for Burnas, but are they Ork Sized, Nob sized, or Warboss sized? And they can't actually tell me without getting into trouble with GW.

actually the do 'say'...notice the heads for nobz/leaders are classified as for BULKY ork models. This leave me thinking everything else is boyz-size. Though because they are 'armored' or bulky with masks...they might not be too small on a nob

[SourImplant]

You must be seeing something I'm not. Their online store only lists "orc sized" and "human sized." @mminghella71 's excellent Army Boyz Orks show that the Orc Officer Heads fit nicely onto a Meganob's body.

[Architech]

hmm...one set of their heads definitely says "for bulkier orks"

EDIT:
read down after clicking on one of the images...read down to the real description on ebay

"This set contains 5 Orc Officer Heads headswaps that should fit larger orc models"

if it doesn't say that then it says 'most' or something similar....meaning boyz size

Another thing that grinds my gears: Arch being right.

Your gears are fucked then

Yup, kills me. I busted my ass to drive a half hour to pick up 2 cans of my favorite primer and it was pouring the whole time. All day at work I was thinking about getting the primer and priming so much stuff when I got home but the second I stepped out of my shop, it was pouring. ARGH.

Protip: Find a place indoors where you can prime. A garage, a warehouse, Wal-Mart, etc.

Working on that...

I tried priming at Wal Mart already once in the produce isle, store clerks were not fond of me using the lights to help settle the primer. They said it smelled horrible and that I needed to leave. I told them it smelled like Victory.

Players who own a codex, have played the same army for months, and still don't know a damn thing about it.
