what annoys you when locosting?

Strange question...well, I have to put up with religious music, VERY badly sung, every sunday, all day! Its a rented garage. Sometimes I use the angle grinder on a piece of scrap to get my own back!
Anyone got similar problems???

most annoying thing at the moment is being able to do very little due to my hand and my dad trying to be clever taking over the build!

wouldnt mind but i still have to keep paying for parts he's fitting!!

Ooohh! It's not just me then?
I live in a rough section of town about a block from a large city park. Every weekend the inner city church sets up a stand with massive speakers and bribes the local kiddies with hotdogs soda pop and candy. The spoken words seem benign enough but the songs are right scary brainwashing crap about one's soul being signed over to the deity of the moment. I try desparately not to listen but with the garage door open it's like the chirpy preacher girl is standing next to you.

I'm just worried they're going to switch to Kool-Aid...

OTOH, might cut down on the petty theft, grafitti and vandalism .

Cheers, Ted

I have a muppet of a neighbour that calls the cops when we start the quadbike or working on the car grinding cutting ect. Cops are more interested in the car than the complaint.
Neighbour shouted over that Im a noisy bast**d ...to which I replied that he was an ugly sad t***t and that at least I could be quiet.

We've got great neighbours, who didn't mind when I went out on my Quadbike at 9 o'clock in the morning on a sunday or when the angle grinder starts up at eleven o'clock at night

For me the most annoying thing about my build the last few weeks is the that the day job is taking over every waking hour of my life.

And I'm SALARIED!!!!!

Graber

But at least I live in a good neighborhood and the neighbors all like the car. Of course they're always stopping in for a look-see and interrupting my thinking... I hate that too... If you're gonna stop in at least bring a beer for me. Since I can't work while you're standing around starin.!!! aargh.

Worst thing for me is those people who say...
"I got my (whatever) from a 19** scrap car for one pound fifty" when the one I bought cost about five hundred quid

(Mind you, most of these builders cars look S**t)

The Saxo and Nova boys that want a race at the lights - they have no idea!
And the idiot that pulled up next to me at the traffic lights and said - "is that a Morgan"
