I have 2 from my old job:
1. Staff Meetings: there is one woman on our team, that saw work as her social outlet, she went on and on every chance she got to speak. She laughed loudly at work related stuf: "we are behind schedule, Oh that's [name of subcontractor] for you" followed by 10 seconds of uncontroled laughter. She tripled the time of our meetings and put me in a bad mood everyday. Although her personality clashed with the rest of the team, she was very good at her job and worked her butt off so there was nothing I could do.
2. When I was told, by my bosses to read through a couple of hundred page documents before a meeting, just in case something came up related to them. It is so hard to read a document when you know their will be a 95% chance it will be for nothing. Usually I just skimmed it and then if something did come up, I would not know enough about it to speak about it.
