Running out of grease in the grease gun just as your about to quit pumping on the last of about 40 zerks on an implement. I can think of only a handful of times in my life that this has happened and it makes you feel like you've just won the lottery, yet I will constantly run out of grease just after I crawl under something or climb up on top of something to get to a hard to reach zerk, just to have the gun go empty, then have to crawl out again to reload then do it all over again. I know the odds are not the same but seems like it's a one in three chance. The worst was when we ran the 1660, 2188 and 2388 CaseIH combines. Up the ladder, over the engine, crawl down inside the engine compartment, start greasing pulleys and ....CRAP.... crawl out again....The 4 zerks on the unload auger up there was another good place for a gun to go dry nearly every time.
Don't even get me started on how I'm sure that grease is a live and living organism. The second I look away, it will literally jump from the tip of the gun to my pant leg or sneak up on me and hitch a ride on the back of my elbow where I don't find it until it's all over the seat of my pickup. Next to moving snow during a bad winter, it has to be the most annoying job on the farm that just has to be done.
