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

Endless supplements for rulesets that seem to be superceded every few years!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.

Having a package arrive (in this case not KS Portuguese) and thinking 'when on earth am I going to find time to paint them?'

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.
