this bugs me too. If I'm on the phone and I can tell somebody is trying to get my attention, I just make sure not to make eye contact and ignore until I'm off the phone.
whats worse is if you're on a conference call and your door is closed and they can ClEARLY HEAR you're on a call and still fricking open the door and poke their head in and stare at you like you should just fricking hang up the call and see what they have to say.

What's wrong with just saying, "OK, I'll call you later to discuss." That's normal and non gay
I know someone that uses the phrase "human capital." If that's not the most corporate BS I've ever heard I don't know what is.

People who don't put a cover sheet on their TPS reports.

Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh heh - and, uh, after that I just sorta space out for about an hour. Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

People who clip their nails at their desk.
Loud, recurring personal calls. I don't mind the occasional one here and there to handle personal business, but hour long chit chat every day with the same people pisses me off.

I use to have a cube that was on the other side of mine, she worked for a different department, but I could hear her every day. She would be one of the first people from her department to get to work every day. She was loud as hell and would tell everyone about how she is mad at her husband because he made her daughter feel uncomfortable because he wanted her to do something that she thought her real daddy should do. She didn't care at all.. She would tell her coworkers "I get tired of his shite sometimes, we havent had sex in 6 weeks and the only time he has talked to me in that time was when he wanted some"..

When people walk in and start talking to you when you are clearly on the phone...
When an email gets sent from party A to party B, and party B wants me to help resolve something with the email so CC's me, but makes no comment and I therefore have no idea what the hell they want from me.

Happens all the time at my office. You gotta spray and leave the door cracked just a little so the smell can blend in with the spray and escape.

We used to have this crazy bitch that would do things like pick the shrimp out of someone's leftover stir fry and leave the rest.
Can't stand snapping of the sandals. Or, this one broad wears like 20 bracelets and they fricking jingle jingle jingle when she is cutting fruit.
Also have a really close talker that I am always backing away from.
Oh, and one that seems popular in other threads we have had -- the person who takes up space in the fridge with their cooler that is separately supposed to be keeping their lunch cool.

I worked with a dude who ate sunflower seeds ALL DAY, when he spit out the shell, he made an overexaggerated, almost cartoon-like spitting noise.
Smacking on chewing gum
Invasion of personal space. Had a guy would stand behind my chair and his package was almost touching the back of my head.
Trying to nonchalantly read what's on my computer screen.
Mr. "Oh, I heard you guys talking about a new assignment, so I thought I'd just pop in and pretend I was invited"
Butt-kissing
Someone coming into a project a month and a half in, and trying to change things before they even have a grasp of what's already been done.

Watching YouTube videos with the volume all the way up. Nothing even remotely funny. Just other people playing video games.....

I stay to myself and dont get involved in shite but my pet peeve is when someone asks a question at the end of the meeting that could have and should have been asked in private. It doesn't concern everyone else, don't make us all sit around for this shite

Fat people who don't make another pot of coffee when they take the last cup. Also fat people who put a baked potato in the microwave for 10 minutes, walk away while the baked potato catches on fire thus setting off the fire alarm

when your door is closed and someone just barges in without knocking.
The big talker that wants to yap for 45min when you clearly have better things to do.
There is this older guy that calls me babe ( I'm a male). When I come in he says "hey babe" I finally got tired of it and starting replying " well good morning sweetheart". All the gals in the office start roaring with laughter.

People who complain about coworkers on the OT when they should be working.

Everytime my boss calls me, he begins with..'Alexxxxxxxx, it's lookin' sexy out there.'
I've begun to ignore his first calls of the day and let him leave a voicemail. It's funny to play back 10 voicemail of the EXACT same thing on repeat.

My personal favorite is they guy who hits reply to all and says "remove me from your distribution" which leads to several more reply to all "remove me from your distribution" emails.
