[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 171757, member: 220"] Help! Well, this topic was originally about what peeves you, and even though it's nothing to do with religious beliefs, I'd like to take the time to post my biggest beef (no pun intended): Gates and Honey in any combination! Although I love Honey dearly, he is the most frustrating person when it comes to gates. A third of the time when Honey chores or works stock, he'll absent-mindedly leave at least one gate open (this is a conservative estimate). This can be very frustrating when you have a herd of cattle: A) roaring off down the road; B) getting into the hay-yard; C) getting into the kidling's 4H steers' grain; D) high-tailing it into the hayfields; E) bolting out the sorting corrals (usually when you've got cattle liners waiting to be loaded and the brand inspector hanging over the fence); F) and this morning he threw in an open gate to the horse pasture so I had twenty-five head of horses tearing helter-skelter up and down the hillsides..as a matter of fact, they're still not back in their pasture (finally got them gated into one of the areas we put new pairs, but forty acres and a chinook wind do not make for easy-horse catching...figure that by the time I check cows again they'll be ready to go to their home pasture). God grant me patience, but personally I'm getting to the point where I wish he'd just let me do all the choring, especially as if he's around when I notice the animals are out, he has a right hairy conniption fit if he has to help put them back where he let them out in the first place! I've tried to gently point out that he needs to remember to close the gates, but that just usually puts him into an insulted huff.... any suggestions from other folks with 'Gate-Dislexic-Spouses/Significant Others'? Pretty please? Take care...I'm off to check cows. [/QUOTE]
