Dropping the pick in the resonator hole and no matter how much you shake the damn thing you can't get it to fall out!

I have a special technique for this situation. You shake it until you see the pick directly under the hole. Then, while holding the head with one hand and the body with the other (where the strap button would be at the bottom), you swing it around and stop when it is upside down. The centrifugal force from the swing will hold the pick in place and when you stop with the sound hole facing down, gravity will make it fall straight down. Works every single time for me.

That's usually how I do it too. Sometimes the pick gets caught up in the X-bracing though and it's hard to bounce it to the center, it also depends on the acoustic I guess. I've had picks get lost in my Ovation. There's nothing there but a round back. Ideally, the pick should just settle toward the center of the bowl, but there's been times when I could not figure out where the damned pick settled to. Most of the time it's not hard to get them out, but every once in a while...

Somebody picking up my guitar without asking, retuning it without asking, and then leaving it in that tuning.

I've had a few people who seemed interested in playing, but whenever we started practicing a song, they always wanted to stop and talk about something else like "have you ever heard of this band?" or "do you know (fill in the blank) song?", or "what do you think of Mesa, (or whatever), amps?" Or they just start playing something else because that have the attention span of a gnat. You take the time to get the equipment together, finally get the time and place to try to get something started...and.... they really don't want to play, they want to talk about playing, or whatever is on their feckless mind. That's when I just start packing! I usually don't say anything because I have no intention of bothering with this person again, but it royally pisses me off!

There's not really anything that pisses me off about guitar. It's all good! I have multiple tuners, (haven't lost one in 40 years of playing. Yes, the original was a chromatic pitch pipe and it's still in my accessory bag.) I buy picks by the gross, so never run out. (Buy another gross when I get down to about 20-30 left.) I always keep a minimum of three sets of strings. Don't know why I do that because I rarely break one, but I have them if needed! No one EVER touches one of my guitars without permission. It's just always been that way and everyone knows it. Though the guitars I hang in the studio are for anyone's enjoyment, my PERSONAL guitars do not ever get played by anyone else.

Playing is for relaxing and enjoying. Getting pissed off just creates the opposite effect. I may get pissed off because I can't play, for whatever reason, but if I pick it up, all is good with the world and I can't even think about being pissed off.
