dimensions 60x468, when they really mean 468x60. I cannot stand when they switch width and height.
swiff really sets me off as do all the others.

developers who take over your design work while you're on holiday, build ugly buttons and functionality, develop around it so that it makes it impossible for you to redesign the work decently, making the company site you spent ages redesigning look bad on every. friggin. page. oh and not save any of the work they did on psd then smile when they say that 'when i do design work, i tend to work and export directly without saving you see'
now, i was already on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Hacks that think that because they're older than you, they know more ... when they don't even know how to create a folder on their desktop.

Wouldn't authoring content make you some sort of copywriter?- You're a dense fellow, aren't ya?d_rek

Xx.
Being a 'page decorator' instead of a 'designer' - meaning you have no ability to author original content in any way, shape or form.
Please go back to jail, do not pass go, do not collect any money that could be going to pay my student loans.

"Make it pop" - translation: "I'm a fucking idiot who has somehow stumbled into this position, I have input in creative projects but I haven't the slightest clue about how to do my job so I am unable to vocalise what I want without regressing into something just above baby talk"

what the hell is a "jiff" .. i get the other ones .. and heard them before but just not the jiff one ...
one that i really really can't stand if somebody calles a presentation a "preso" or a "prezz" or a "pressie" .... fucking annoying.
people still say swiff here .. also annoys me ..
aah wait i get the jiff now .. i was reading it as the J was pronounced as as i and not as "djjj" .. obviously ...

1. Create a multi-page document in illustrator.
what's so wrong with that?

3. Outline every font knowing that the project will need to be updated and worked on in the future.
GRRRRR. I deal with this everyday. FFUUUUUU.

multiple options on one illustrator page is handy when you're only dealing with vector objects. but when your art director decides to create a 16 page layout with high resolution images is a nightmare. to make it worse it was on one fucking layer! grrrrrr....

multiple pages in illustrator = multiple artboards

I'm not a print guy, but I feel your pain. Here are some Photoshop ones that the layer name issue reminded me of.
People who never use shape layers for things like logos or things that will be scaled up.
Same thing only 10-fold for SMART OBJECTS!!!
Merging layers in PSDs for God knows what reason.
Rasterizing text or anything that doesn't need to be.
