Why can't I merge when there are uncommitted outstanding changes?

I have some files I don't want to commit. I need to to a merge simply to be
able to push. But it can't merge, because it says "abort: outstanding
uncommitted changes (use 'hg status' to list changes)".

My uncommitted files have NOTHING to do with the merge, it are different
files.

Why can't I  just merge?

This is really frustrating for me. Whenever I want to push my changes to the
"central" repository here, I have problems like this. I just want to have my
pushed files to be added linearly to the changes on the central repository.
The files I changed are usually different ones than other changes on the
central repository.

I don't understand why I need to go through such complex problems everytime
I just want to push my changes and at the same time keep a few uncommitted
changes.

What am I doing wrong that hg is so frustrating to me while everyone else
seems to love it?
