It's the little things that irritate

[Orcs]

OK - I'll make it 100,000. Cash in used notes please.

No I am sorry I could not inflict her on you. 

Now how hard can it be to dig a large hole under the patio 

[Orcs]

That's what Mrs Orcs says too.

Yes, she would find you incredibly irritating

People who put on participation games at shows using figures you can't drop on the floor at least half a dozen times without inflicting damage on them

People who put on participation games, that my kids love but that bore me after 5 minutes, who expect me to stay at the table for an hour (or more - oh gods, kill me now!) because two smart, polite, well behaved children are somehow a burden.

People with badly glued figures who try to blame my kids for the fact that arms, pikes, plumes or whatever have fallen off because they pointed at them from two feet away.

People who put on games at shows who think playing the game is important. The game is a focus for engaging with the punters, if you aren't up for talking to them then make sure you have people around you who 'kin well are!

Feeling hustled by traders at show when I'm trying to decide if I want/ can afford something. It's a big show, there are lots of traders, my budget is limited. I need to decide if buying X from you is worth it to me when it means not buying Y or Z from someone else. If you stand behind me clucking like a hen, trying to get me to buy something I probably will .... from someone else!

People who complain about "killer armies" when what they really mean is they couldn't be bothered to learn the rules properly. No problem with that complaint from those playing games where army lists are a way for a company to sell figures - got to wonder why people play them if that sort of thing bothers them though.

I particularly agree with the fourth statement.

[Chris Pringle]

Two little things that irritate me, neither a problem in isolation, but awkward in combination:

1. shaving

2. having a beard

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

If I shave the next morning, no problems, leave it two days (weekend) rash, three days (bank holiday) fine, four days (Friday-Tuesday of half term) stubble itch city, but good shave! How does that work!

[Last Hussar]

Orcs never shaves his baby-face

[Roy]

IBS.

I find that's irritating. Especially when it means you can't sit and paint for a number of hours for fear of what your guts will be like come bed time.

[Techno]

Shaving's a pain in the **** !

I only bother if I'm likely to go out the next day.......Saves on plasters.

I have a beard - problem solved

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

I have had a goatee since November, do you ever stop feeling it move!

[Ithoriel]

I've had a beard so long I forget it's there most of the time.

[Leman]

Beard for the last 42 years. Shave the edges neat each morning - takes about 1.5 minutes. Oh, and just for the government - bollocks! What bollocks!! Arrghh!!!!!!!
