My favorite is when that are "frame-F-ing" you.
I make the minor change, add a few extra key strokes that do nothing,
then end with Command-Z to put me right back where things started.
"How's that look now?" They say "Much better."
Best example is a promo producer I worked with. I add a 15 frame dissolve .
. .
She says, "Make it 12." I bang on the keys, ending back at a 15 frame
dissolve.
Now it's "Perfect."
This was the same one that had me using a bed of Enya-esque, flow-y, dreamy
music and told me to "cut to the beat."
