Let's start a really specific list
+ People giving you images from a shoot n a disc with a printed label, which makes the CD fuck up in your drive
+ lazy people using the all caps function in Indesign, so when you use the eyedropper thing it changes everything to caps.
+ when people need you / want you to do something and just march over to your desk and start talking to you when you're in the middle of something else
+ when you spend ages getting a brush in photoshop the right size, then realise you had selected the eraser rather than the clone tool
Who's got some?

Here's some recent ones:
+ Designers not giving accurate names to their layers
+ Project plans which don't include time for client review and re-touching
+ Asking for high-res images and getting low-res images instead
+ Getting images from a client only to find they are rights-managed and that those rights have expired
+ Flash developers who can't be bothered looking at XML or anything that's not FLA or AS beacuse it's "not in their department"

+ when people need you / want you to do something and just march over to your desk and start talking to you when you're in the middle of something else.
That is so true it's not even funny.
"I'm in the middle of something and I'm already having a conversation..."
"Yeah, but while I'm here can't you just quickly do it for me while I wait?"
"Fuck you, I quit..."
