Did you all take a look at this one?

Shameless padding, right? Well, I couldn't see anyone using this one unless they were truly without shame, or, like me, they had a good (relevant-to-plot) reason.

Have a character who is a writer. This character is writing a novel within the story. Now - here's the shameless part. Have the character write a long sentence/paragraph (depending on your level of shamelessness). Have the character decide that he/she doesn't like it at all. Have him/her delete the sentence. As follows:

"Backspace. Backspace. Backspace. Backspace, backspace. Backspace, backspace, backspace. Backspace. Backspace. Backspace. Backspace. Backspace..."

Be sure that you have included the same exact number of "backspaces" as there are characters in the sentence/paragraph - and remember, that includes spaces.

Priceless!
