Things said way too often in the studio, I'll start.

"One more time" every 15-20 seconds for 10 hours.

I have to steal this for my signature as you have just neatly defined my life in a sentence.

Drummer: "can you turn the click a little bit down?"

me: "sure..."
*pretend to turn knob
me: "is it better?"

drummer: "oh yeah! now it's fine..."

Band: "Can we use your drum-set for tracking tomorrow?"
Me: "Sure, it'll cost a bit more and take some setup"
Band: "Yeah that's o.k."

I setup some drum mics the next morning

Band: "Alright let's do this!"
Me:"Where's the drummer??"
Band:"Look!!! We brought a MIDI file"

...bastards

True story; after a week of dealing with that during a mix down I burned a mix for each band member with JUST THEM respectively.
Then told them when they got over their fucking narcissism we could address my narcissism when I give them the mix I want to do.
