Complaining about birdsong...? C'mon!?
People are the worst thing out there...leaving burnt patches, rubbish etc....

Yes, and some of you guys complaining about our complaining can come round to my house and clean the bird poo off my windows. You'll not be so tolerant then I bet.
The wee flying, creeping bitey buggers are the only things I could really do with out.
Being partially deaf, with a recent unexpected hearing recovery, I am happy to hear birds screaming their little heads off at any time.

A good deterant against cats crapping in your veg patch - GARLIC. Planted some in each veg bed and not seen a cat since, apart from one that went under our car to take a dump while i was in said car - one long horn toot later and i've not seen that one either.
We get a variety of birdsong in the mornings but the damn fat pigeons are the worse.

Torticollis....
Got back from Scout camp yesterday with a slightly stiff neck. Within hours was having muscle spasms that took my breath away and left me sweating in a heap.
5 hours in A & E, with diazapam straight after triage, I am now grateful that we have an NHS.
Moment of iritation, no...just a pain in the neck!

Horse flies
"The bite from a larger specimen is extremely painful, especially considering the light, agile, and airborne nature of the fly. Unlike insects which surreptitiously puncture the skin with needle-like organs, horse flies have mandibles like tiny serrated scimitars, which they use to rip and/or slice flesh apart. This causes the blood to seep out as the horsefly licks it up. They may even carve a chunk completely out of the victim, to be digested at leisure."

Every year without fail, usually the weekend after the Easter weekend, I plant my bedding plants out. And without fail, regardless of how much salt I scatter or how many beer traps I place, I lose between 30% and 50% of them to slugs. I have hedgehogs in the garden but not nearly enought to cope with the slugs and every year I have to resign my self to the fact that these are acraficial. But how I love my lobelia cascading over the little stone dyke I built around the patio and how I try to find some inner compassion for those slugs that frustrate me even more so when they eat most of it!
Folk that cannot stay the course of a boozy evening , go to bed early (having pitched right next to the communal fire and fun area) and then moan about the singing for ever after....
Wasps - only wasps. I don't mind anything else but those. It terrifies me that I could quite happily wipe out an entire species and not feel guilty for it. But then again irrational fear will do that

SWEAT FLIES!!!
They drive me crazy in Scotland. I usually try to ignore them, but after a while I snap and grab a piece of vegetation and thrash around in a rage trying to kill the blighters! They always come back though in their hundreds.
One day I'm going to get an aerosol manufacturer to make a fly spray the size of a dustbin. I'm then going to the Highlands with it strapped to my back and I'll blast 'em and blast 'em, until it's run out. And then I'm going to jump all over their dead bodies until they're a pulp. And then I'm going to load up another dustbin sized aerosol - and do it all over again, until, until .... until they've had enough! <pant><pant>
