Other than then the biggies like Taxes and Brands/Tobaccos disappearing... I have to say it is twigs. I like to fill my bowl quickly and picking out twigs ugh... I am thinking of moving onto flakes coins just because there are no twigs lol.

You're in for a surprise. They've got them as well.
For me, it's the issue of used cleaners. In the car, on a hike, out fishing etc they pile up and stink until I've collected them and thrown them out.
Bears that refuse to stand. Dall sheep that won't butt heads. Shy loons. Swans that won't fly into the lens. I could go on but, mostly uncooperative wildlife. They're not here for my benefit though so, take what I can get.
Having a wardrobe plagued with burn holes.
Drying blends ahead of smoking and cleaning pipes after smoking.
Perhaps a nice burley blend soaked in elk urine?
Interruptions from people who want to talk too much, causing my pipe to go out.
Having the majority of my "adult conversations" come from an online forum for pipe & tobacco enthusiasts. ?
tobacco use getting lumped into the same category as the use of tobacco products i.e. cigs.
especially when you're by yourself.
I really hate when that happens!especially when you're by yourself.
Acid reflux. Probably something I should get looked at by a doctor when I have the time. But until then, I have to pace myself slowly throughout the week so I don't get heartburn like a muther
yeah you should. If for no other reason then they might get to the bottom of it. Also the longer you let that stuff go on the worst it is. And there was a while I thought I might not be able to smoke pipes more then once or twice a week because it would aggravate my acid reflux . Got the reflux sorted (mostly) and the pipe doesn't even give me a tiny bit of discomfort digestively speaking.
Seriously though just imagine not having to deal with it and then go see a doctor about it. Heck even if they just give you something to lessen the severity of the reflux, you'll still feel worlds better.
Anyone here have an asbestos smoking jacket for sale? I'm too old to worry about the lint.
I will not own a pipe where I cannot push a fluffy pipe cleaner down to the bottom effortlessly(full bent pipes included). I also will not own a pipe where the stem whistles or the pipe gurgles and if it doesn't smoke to my expectations I will get rid of the pipe and never look back.
Currently I own 38 pipes that all smoke great and have a couple more commissions in the works. I moved out 60 plus pipes and honestly not a one wasn't a bad smoker. They just were not perfect smokers as that is the only type of pipe I will own from now on.

Tangentially related: Folks who can't be arsed to form proper titles. It's easy. Just read Rule 9.
Over and out.
Sometimes I pluck out veins (aka twigs and mistakenly called stems.) But it's sometimes.

Well, I guess it would have to be all the shirts I have burned holes in. I am just a klutz when it comes to clothing.
