I've had a few models/performers from hell, that had really bad attitudes, however I try to salvage any project as best I can, and then I never work with the difficult ones again.
I have a bigger issue with guys that can't keep wood or who fuck up the pop shot.
A few quick stories...
Once I had a girl puke when the guy came in her mouth. It looks really cool in slow motion as a blooper, but for the scene I had to create an edit where the video cuts away to a shot of the girl with some sort of lotion or shampoo fake cum on her face, which looked fake as shit (oh well).
Another instance is when an amateur guy couldn't pop, we killed all of the lights, the crew went into another room so he could masturbate in private (some guys are dick shy), and then when he called for us, we ran in, turned on the lights, but before the cameras were queued he popped so quick that we could not get a single good shot with 3 cameras rolling...I think that this mope gave up on his dreams of becoming a porn stud and is back at his day job.
My biggest pet peeve is models/performers that show up on their period.
If you have shot under such circumstances, it can be quite unpleasant to see/smell, plus we stop shooting at even a spec of blood anyway.
I have all but eliminated this problem by sending models a checklist in advance of what I expect them to do to be ready to shoot (i.e., foundation but no make-up, loose fitting clothes/no tight bras and panties that leave lines when nude, not on their period, etc). However, I still get a girl from time to time that really needs the money, and so they show up claiming that their period just started that day.
Other than that, I've had a few dildos hurled at me, but hey, that's an occupational hazard / part of the job...
