THE RESULTS ARE IN. A total of 53 votes in this poll, with no clear-cut-absolutely-runaway response. The comments tell some tales.
Here’s the breakdown:

Comments and “other” entries were fascinating..and fun:
Two major peeves of mine:
1) A shoulder-lurker micromanaging a project (down to the font size).
2) Those certain 2 or 3 people that will come to you with 10+ sets of changes on any given project instead of figuring out what they wanted before they brought it to me to work on.
……..
Being told to re-do something: duh, if it’s not already perfect, why?
……..
Hovering “customer.”
……..
Being a “living mouse” for a publisher who micromanages design work.
……..
Graphics or files of insufficient quality.
……..
Sales reps.
……..
Being asked to redesign a finalized page.
……..
Doing a nice, clean design only to have the advertiser or editor fill it up!
……..
Someone standing over my shoulder, micromanaging a project (poorly).
……..
Not having enough space for the art, or any good art.
……..
Having so many other duties, I don’t get to design much.
……..
Being told: “We’re producing a 56 page tab…in two days.”
……..
Getting a centerpiece that’s pre-designed by the people at the budget meeting.
If you didn’t get your vote in…sorry, Charlie…the poll is closed. Another one coming in a week or two.
