It's the bane of my life.

2. something that causes ruin: something that causes death, destruction, or ruin ( literary or archaic )

[ Old English bana< Germanic]

the bane of somebody's existence or life somebody or something that is a constant source of trouble or annoyance
Example :



I loved these "baby moon" racing disks, but they popped off all the time, got ruined, cost me more and more $$, and so they became the bane of my existance.

In your case, I do believe that rust is your bane.
