Every time I dry hop. I dry hopped last Sunday planning on bottling this Sunday or Monday. But life threw me a curve. I can bottle Saturday or two weeks from now. Just frustrated it is my first all grain and I nailed everything else.
why does this always happen

I routinely dry hop for months and don't get any off flavors from it.
Wow, months? Is that in a chilled keg or room temperature fermenter? Why do you dry hop for so long?
Months in a keg. Normally dry hop for a couple weeks or so in the fermenter, then add more to the leg that stay there until the keg kicks. Typically 2-3 months. I've found that grassy, vegetal flavors seem to be much more dependent on the variety of hops used thaem the length of time. British and continental hops are the worst. I can't recall ever having problems with domestic varieties, and I've dry hopped hundreds of batches.
