Ditto!
And "little" equipment malfunctions, like broken strings, spontaneously faulty cords, dead batteries, that sort of thing.
And tiny papercuts or slivers in my fretting hand!!! Man, that sucks!! You gotta be like Spock to get through a practice or show, "Pain is a thing of the mind."

my least favorite thing to ever happen is to sit down to jam and find out there is a noticeable flaw in one of the components of your sound. It drives me crazy even if it's as simple as changing a battery.

GACK!!! I am soo dreading this!! I've been putting this off now for a while. The two RGs I've acquired are set up for 9s and when I changed the strings on my Laser Blue I put on 10s... the FR sits a bit higher now but still plays well enough... need to fix that! Soon!!!

Adjust, tune, tune, tune, adjust, tune, tune, tune, adjust, tune, tune, tune, intonate, tune, tune, adjust, tune, tune.
Wait for a few days, then check it all again.
It is pretty tedious, but I think it's kinda fun, now that I just resign to it taking a while.

Yeah, it took me awhile, it's one of those things though, once you learn it your like "That was it?"

That's just the thing! I abhor tedium! Even though I KNOW everything will be better because of it. In my perfect world, adjust, tune, tune, tune should be it. LOL!!

Or you can take giant screws and drill them into your bridge through your body of your guitar and force it to stay level to the guitar!!
