Back again with a little mischief. "Monserga" has a special meaning in the north of Mexico anyway, Its a polite, acceptable way of describing a " a pain in the a**". Just for fun see what you can do with this one. A vote for all answers and best for the best one.

A mi gato le gusta rasgar y comer papel durante las charlas de Skype. No sé por qué. Es una gran monserga.

My cat likes to rip and tear paper during Skype chats. I don't know why. It's a big pain (really annoying, too)

I was doing a bit of research into old posts and found this one. It is one of my favorites actually, I likely use it too much. Seeing so much time has passed since it was posted -I thought to see what our new members could do with it.

Have at it!!

Ten cuidado cuando tu decir algo es una "monserga " , porque lo puede

convertido un hecho.

Be carful when you say something is" a pain in the but " because it can become a fact.

Hi, Paco! As far as I know, "monserga" is usually applied to things or items, but not to persons or animals. I thing that "monserga" is something that is really boring, fastidious, stupid, or complicated, but nevertheless, has to be done,

¡Llenar la declaración de impuestos es una verdadera monserga!

Filing out the tax declaration is really boring!

Yo apuesto a que James y Wade consideren partido de esta noche de la NBA a ser monserga!

I bet James and Wade considered tonight's NBA game to be "painful".

Is this close Paco! It sure is nice to see have a chance to post. Your work has kept you very, very busy!

New Sentence Esperando de la hora de alimentación es una gran monserga

Waiting for feeding time is a real pain.

Old sentence La vaca dice al burro, "Ese caballo es una monserga".
