Or when you have the perfect joint to weld, perfect settings on the welder, you get on your most comfortable position getting ready to lay a perfect stack of dimes, flip the hood closed, pull the trigger and it just shoots wire off the metal..............forgot to hook up ground clamp...

Good list here guys. One of Mine is, cleaning a carb and getting a face, or eye full of carb cleaner or brake clean. Hate it when that happens.

You are trying to buy something. You are standing there with the seller. It is just what you have been looking for. Exactly. He has told you at least ten times to "make an offer", and you can't get him to give you any idea on what he wants for it, or what he thinks it's worth. You have that number in your head. The one you think would make this deal an insane bargain. The number you are afraid, might offend this seller. Then, there is that other number in your head. The one you are willing to pay, but doesn't make this a good deal. You ask him again what he will take, "What will you give?" he says again. So...... there you are. You go somewhere between that first obviously offensive number, and the one you are willing to pay. You kick the dirt and stare at the ground while you give the number. Before you even get it out the guy says "DEAL!!" and holds out his hand. It is at that point you realize..... that he would have taken, much, much less than you offered! DANG IT! I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!!
I know what you mean there. I usually say "I can't buy and sell it both!"Hate when they won't say what they want for something

Working hard to trace a problem and asking for help/assistance only to find that I have overlooked the obvious, like enough fuel in the tank or spark plug wire, etc......just another reason to have a Charlie Brown moment and hate when that happens...

I hate it when people don't honor their word.
I made a deal on Cub a week ago. The seller and I both have busy schedules and we agreed on March the 7th. I offered to send a deposit, but he wouldn't take one.
It was a 4 hour trip, so I was gonna ride with my father in law and take his trailer.
The day after we made the deal, my father in law told me that he had forgotten about a tractor show that he wanted to attend on the 7th. I contacted the seller and told him and we agreed on the 8th and no later. I again offered to send a deposit.

Today, while browsing Craigslist, the seller has the tractor re-listed. I called him and he said that he will not hold it for me until the 8th because I switched the pick up date so many times. I again offered to send a deposit and assured him that I would be there on the 8th. He said I'd have to take my chances on it. I told him to forget it and hung up. I can't drive 4 hours and have it be sold. Oh well.

BTDT. Randy all I can say is you need to be ready to pull the trigger on any of these C-List deals. Sellers look at it as first one with the cash wins, no holding it. It is what it is.

I agree, I think I just needed to rant.

When I'm riding on the Cub and get stuck in the mud! Hate it when that happens! I get off with the drive still engaged to help push the tractor out of the mud, only to forget that I'm wearing brand new shoes! Hate it when that happens!

When you order parts online at the beginning of the week, and the expected delivery is Saturday. Then on Friday you check again, and delivery has moved to next week! Talk about deflating your weekend plans....

I hate it when that happens!

Hate it when you see a good deal on a tractor, but it is too far away

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
