How to enrage an editor:

1. Add typos after the edit is done.

2. Format unevenly, then become perplexed that this shows in the final document.

2.5 Format in such a way that the editor has to go through the entire document, line by line. (ie: some paragraphs manually indented, others not)

3. Not follow clear instructions; complain because instructions were expected to be followed.

4. Tell editor to change things that should have been addressed before submission (like say, a character's name).

5. Say "Once you get published, you'll understand how busy writers are."

This last one is not just factually incorrect, it doesn't make any goddamn sense. Gah!
