Hmmm. Not-so-fun memories of those times:
1. Doing sequence diagrams in Visio, sans any kind of plugin that understood them; cue realising you'd missed a bit out and having to do an awkward group-select and drag a load of gubbins down the page to make room, then finding you'd missed an arrow or something ....

3. Being given a massive wad of UML diagrams by a client, but the author had actually done all the contains relations as if it was a data model diagram, so all the relations were backwards - i.e. Eel diamond-arrow Hovercraft, because that's how the foreign keys would be done. How to break this kindly ...
