2) 43 curves and 30 lines
3) 100 scale drawing reduced by half by the recorder. 8's 3's & 0's look the same.
4) the fly that sat on the curve table when the recorder shot it.

The many recorded subdivision plats in one of the Counties I work in frequently that are illegible. The scanner my home County uses for plats that stinks and out of town surveyors calling wanting a pdf of the plat.

i like it when surveyors list tangents, radial bearings or some other means to recreate curves.

Those things are annoying. But what I hate is when the curve math doesn't add up. Which happens way too often.

I agree, especially on recent plats.

I just did a topo survey where the previous map had an invert table. Every single manhole or inlet had some number assigned to it and then there was a table with the inverts in and out......pretty annoying

Lettering on plats in weird font types such as Olde English.

Drawings printed out on a 24"x36" sheet that could have easily fit on 11"x17".

That's the way I roll. Where I work there are so many utilities on top of each other that there is no way to legibly label the inverts next to the structures.

I hate when people put bearings and distances over things like power lines or anything else and you can't read the important numbers. They probably did their original in 6 colors, but when it gets scanned for recording, it all becomes black on white blobs. I make sure that none of that happens.

5 different fonts on a plat.
ugly/confusing plats. Makes us look sub-professional.

Tables: I don't mind them if they are in sequence, but I HATE THEM if some surveyor isn't paying attention and has their line table scaler set to .5 or some other random number where lines that are 49.99' go to the line table, but lines 50.01' stay on the lot lines. Really? As for curve tables, it depends on the scale and number of curves on the plat. If I can fit them, I will use the curve table as a guide but then make a multiline text to stack the curve data near the curve. I've never had luck using the curved text function at all.

Agree about the lettering over lines or even lettering over lettering. There are some really sad looking plats out there that probably represent the quality of the surveyor in the field.

The "POOR QUALITY DOCUMENT PROVIDED FOR REPRODUCTION" stamp the local county slapped on everyones plats because their 15 year old copier couldn't make decent copies.
