Here's a short list I've been working on:
1. @#$%& switches!-Turnouts that cause derailments
2. @#$%& E-unit!-Reverse units that don't sequence properly
3. @#$%& curves!-Curves that are too tight of a radius or that cause derailments
4. @#$%& couplers!-Couplers that either uncouple at will anywhere or ones that wont open or close properly
5. @#$%& engine!-Any locomotive that doesn't operate as well as you think it should
6. @#$%& (insert manufacturer of your choice)!-Go to reason for any of the above
Also known as @#$%& Chinese!
7. @#$%& Ebay!-Online auction site where everything is either too expensive or junk or (be they a buyer or seller) a rip off
8. @#$%& (insert mail order company of your choice)!-Similar but not an auction
9. @#$%& (insert LHS of your choice)!-Ditto
10. @#$%& third rail!-What scale guys say about us
11. @#$%& rivet counters!-What we say about them
