1.  People coming up and starting to talk to you when it's clear that you are on the phone.  (I'll never understand this thinking -- is it somehow not quite as rude to interrupt if you can't hear the conversation?)

2.  People insisting on using a speakerphone in an open floor plan.  Especially for PERSONAL calls!  Yikes!

3.  People shouting across an open floor plan to get someone's attention.  "Hey, Bob!  Did you see that email from Elaine?"  We all have phones.  Use them, please.  Nothing like working in a room that sounds like a high school cafeteria.
