Sweeping changes with hundreds of LOC across multiple components, with a one-liner commit message that tells me absolutely zero about what was changed, why it was changed, and what issue it was about.

Plot twist, most of the lines are actually just unnecessary code formatting and 1 line is the actual change

Oh yes, I <sarcasm looove /> it when people do that...makes reading the diffs feel so much more meaningful when the actual change is buried under tons of needless formatting elsewhere in the file.

When told to forward message to other coworker say you will do it, then don't.
