Had a team lead that kept requesting nitpicky changes, going in a FULL CIRCLE about what we should change or not, to the point that changes would take weeks to get merged. Then he had the gall to say that changes were taking too long to be merged and that we couldn't just leave code lying around in PRs.

Jesus fucking Christ.

There's a reason that team imploded....

Had a colleague who would comment things like “add a newline here” as well as things that were fully his own preference.

That was the only time I closed comments without replying to them or fixing them, without feeling bad.

For stuff like that, it's best to have an auto formatter like checkstyle or something.

People need to lameduck their code more

People need to reply to those comments with "out of scope" and a link to a new issue that will get buried in the backlog more often

Don't forget get questioned by your manager/scrum lead as to why its taking so long to get out.

Well, I've had the PR ready for 3 days and the team asked me to make changes today

you forgot the part where you have to rebase your branch and that causes merge conflicts that were resolved later but somehow still persist.
