Don't touch my stuff
I travel with alot of gear on location. As much as clients want to help, the best thing they can do is stand back and hold the door for me on the way out. I have a place for everything and a routine I follow that ensures everything gets back in the bag. Yeah it sounds anal buts it's the only way I know 100% all these little pieces come back with me.
The other pet peeve I have is when people mishandle my extension cords. Nothing gets my eyes rolling faster than someone rolling my extensions up with their elbow/forearm and the using the last bit to tie the whole mess up like a noose. (Did that make sense?) Ever see an extension cord that's all twisted and knotted up? That's why! The cord has a natural memory, if you adhere to it, the cord will remain knot free for many years. Yah know, maybe it's just better if I do it. Thanks anyway!

Ohhh yes. I remember wrapping up tonnes of cable in my high school recording studio. The hand to elbow technique (figure-8) was a sure way to get in trouble.
It's all about creating a proper circle and then using a velcro strap to keep it together.
Did you know that leaving two or more unwrapped cables in a box, no matter how neat, will inevitably interweave themselves into a ball? It's true. That's why you need a velcro strap or twist tie.
AND DON'T TOUCH THE SCREEN!
