Hemmorhoids ...

... and the people who ARE them. Grrr.

We (actually, my husband) are taking photos of a local production of an overdone musical at an extemely discounted rate and an immense amount of personal inconvenience. Still, people in the cast expect us to cater to their whims & reschedule what is already set & reset to fit their individual vanity. i.e. the mother who shows up 45 minutes late to the scheduled shoot & is upset because we won't/can't reschedule all 30 of the kids who did show up so her daughter can be in the photo; the director who not only forgets to let the cast know when headshots were scheduled by the producer, but followed it up by saying to the photographer that he didn't feel photos - PR or otherwise - were important; the man who, when informed of the time for cast photos, threw a snit because he'd be too tired & sweaty from the performance. Get some antiperspirant, Diva Butthead!

CELL PHONE USERS

For heaven's sake, use some discretion! Or at the very least, common courtesy. Turn off your phone during weddings, funerals, etc & just let your voice mail pick it up. Do not ... I repeat, DO NOT stand up & start talking on your cell phone just as the clergy is introducing your son and his new bride to the audience as Mr. and Mrs. for the very first time & then walk yourself down the aisle in front of them unaware of anything going on around you. Be aware ... be considerate. You really don't have to take that call right then. It can wait. Really ... it can.
