The great frustrations:
Learning a new range of 10mm is coming out in a period you have no interest in......learning a new range of 10mm is coming out in a period you're very interested in, and have already converted 400+ figures for......rolling something poor for orders/PIPs/activation (or whatever the rules of the month call it), so your carefully-planned attack is unsupported and gets munched in flank......trying to paint acrylic yellow on a dark undercoat.....doing ANYTHING involving superglue.
Others?
You missed one - playing Lee ;) ;)
She says that's a pleasure and a privilege.
And she is of course correct :D
Endless supplements for rulesets that seem to be superceded every few years!
So many games, so little time.

I can easily accept the first since she often as not wins but the second?
I think she would need to present a signed (and notarized) document to the forum.
I would trust Techno to authenticate it.
An added frustration: needing only a few drops of a very specific color only to find your one vial to be empty.
Oh yes, making surgeon-like modifications to a figure with an xacto only to slice off its head with final stoke.
Both the above are of recent memory and still raw.

Sorry I am having trouble understanding your question. :)
Finding your pot of bronze paint has dried out.

Add baking powder :)
Frustration - FLGS, and even the UFLGS, no longer carry the Vallejo paints. I've yet to find a suitable substitute for Flat Earth Brown, Dark Prussian Blue and Prussian Blue.

It works alright, mainly for filling gaps, but the reaction produces fumes that are extremely toxic and should be avoided. The safer option is a spray of water or commercial accelerator.
