Things you don’t want to hear anytime

Rick Pillars and I had been exchanging comments related to an earlier post (Four words you don’t want to hear coming from the video conference room at 7:00 am) until WordPress ate his last response:
I am more of a high res video specialist so I don’t pretend to know audio all that well. However, I am pretty sure that neither blowing or tapping is very good for the condenser mic. Spitting is ok. I know an audio engineer who gets really tweaked when an AV tech (someone who he thinks should know better) does either of those things.
Other things that you hope to not ever hear again:
- “Uhmmm, you know that Beta roll you wanted up next, I accidentally recorded over it.”
- “Oh crap, I just deleted half his slides and then hit save.”
- From the podium, “Guys, that’s not my presentation.” “No, not that one either.”
I don’t know about you, but each of those made me wince a little bit. What words do you never want to hear ever, ever again?
