What Bugs You The Most?

Of course everyone thinks their plane is wonderful, but every plane has at least
one annoying 'feature'. I don't want to hear about cabin width or cruise speed,
but that minor gremlin you would fix if money was free and time replaceable.

In my plane, the fuel will syphon out the vents if you fill the tanks to the
top. There's no tab showing the maximum safe fuel level. I have to caution any
line person to leave about 1.5" air space, but a lot of them are like gas
station attendants - they want to cram in as much as they can. It makes one a
bit nervous taxiing for takeoff with a stream of 100LL pouring from the bottom
of a wing.

Thanks for saving me the time to write this one.
