What Equipment Screwups Really Torque You Off?

Interesting topic over on the Yahoo Romanarmy mailing list. I thought I would modify the topic a little to avoid the political rants. The reproduction Gladii upset me. All the makers have to do is give me a blade with a full tang and a simple flattened diamond cross-section, bone handle (PEENED ON!!!) And I would be happy. Why ,Oh why do I see so many crappy swords with fullers cut into them? Don't even get me going on the pugio! The makers actually put more effort into creating a totally cheesy looking gladius than if the did it right..... I feel better now.
