Here's some.
David/Julie: Having processes that allow critical issues to sit idle in a backlog for 2 days.
Shirley: Delaying a code change because of completely unrelated issues. Code changes that introduce bad code should be fixed first. But demanding that the person fix all unrelated issues in the file is not the way to go.
Tony: Not having tools in place for quick, completely automated testing. If a one line change requires 3 days of manual testing, something is wrong.
