You know you've made the right decision to turn down a job directing a commercial when:

1. It's exactly the same people that screwed up last year's attrocity.
2. One of the producer's ideas for Harmony Week is a scene involving a burning flag.
3. The 1st AD doesn't know what a call sheet is.
4. The DoP doesn't think they need a call sheet on a project that is shot over three days using seven locations and a cast and crew of ten.
5. None of the actors have done any acting before.
6. The script involves a sparking electrical cable.
7. Western Power don't want to be involved.
8. One of the actors pulls out six hours before principal photography is due to start due to a religious belief.
9. The grip has pulled out, because he hasn't been paid by the producer for a past production, and hasn't told anyone on the production team.
10. The commercial was designed by committee.
