losing a screw or tool that you just put down about 2 seconds ago. Then spend a few minutes looking for it.

THIS!!! Took my HU out the other day, I had 4 screws for it and set all of them on the passenger seat with my huge led work light. Went to go put the screws in, and only had 3. Spent 15 mins looking for the fucking thing, here it was stuck to the magnet on the light. :facepalm:

Anything in Tejas summertime.

Doing all the wires then realizing I forgot to slip the heatshrink on, having Furd panel clip holders snap off, and other stuff that pisses me off.

Running wire in doors through the grommet! Trying to figure out where to mount xovers. Going to do one small thing and completely rewiring EVERYTHING. When you make a sub cutout small and have to sand it out to get the sub to fit perfectly.

losing a screw or tool that you just put down about 2 seconds ago. Then spend a few minutes looking for it.

BOTH of these. Drives me INSANE.

Fiberglass...

...But mostly... Working on my own shit. I don't mind working on other people's at all, but my own just annoys me. I guess being around it all day by the time I get home I just want to get away.

Having a customer hang around and wait

Customers who want "help"

Customers who want to change before it's even finished.

Customers who don't allow you to fine tune every db possible out of their current gear / setup before going to some one else so the other shop can run their mouth. ;)

Waiting on parts.

Waiting on replacement part.

Breaking shit and ordering replacement parts

Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out.

not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. :)
