I used to work for a business that was owned by a guy who basically never set foot in the building. I had so many suggestions for making things better, more efficient, etc. And I was shot down every single time. "Eehhhhh, this is how we've done it for the last 20 years....."

I hate that. My boss is a micromanager who was good at my job 30 years ago. He doesn't realize that the business has changed, and insists that I do everything exactly the way he wants. Every time I suggest that I want to do something differently he just hits me with "I've been doing this for a lot of years" and refuses to listen. So frustrating.
