and now i'm stuck waiting an indefinite amount of time waiting for a gracious miner that will add this transaction to a block for no fee.

cmon its only 0.0001 BTC!

The miners are just a bunch of greedy bastards. Like that extra 0.0001 BTC on top of the 25 BTC block reward really makes a difference.

The fee is there to stop spam dust transactions from clogging the network, from what I recall.

I'm just complaining about the wait time.

The love of fiat is the root of all good

Don't worry too much. I have heard about certain (zero tx fee) transactions, where it took almost 48 hours for them to get confirmed. So... in the end the transaction will get confirmed... but it is going to take a lot of time.

I know, it is more the uncertain nature of waiting that bugs me. I don't need the coins to spend right away, but if it was a critical situation like that I'd be annoyed. Still, I guess it's a lot better than using a bank.

if I had needed the money for urgent matter I would have paid a tx fee > 0

I hate that as well. I saw one take 5 hours once to confirm.
