That whole house in Brentwood with the 12-foot ceilings and the owner who kept moving the furniture back in before we could finish taping.
We had to move a massive leather sectional, a piano, and three area rugs out of the way three separate times last Tuesday, and the final time he just stood there with his arms crossed saying 'I need to see the space to visualize it' while we were literally covered in dust.

Feels like a universal rule where people who hire you suddenly become experts in your job. Had a client once who kept redrawing my wiring diagrams in pencil on the back of napkins.

Consider that napkin feedback might be the clearest way a client can show what they actually need, ruby_jones. Sometimes the messy ideas are the real ones.

Napkin experts are the worst kind of boss.

Napkin revisions are a special kind of disrespect. Reminds me of a project manager who insisted on editing code comments for "better vibes" without understanding a single function. The final product was a mess of cheerful notes explaining broken logic. Some people just need to feel the pen in their hand, even if it makes the work worse.
