    Passive aggressive subtweeting posters on message boards.

    Co-workers who decide to make a phone call when you're on the phone.

    I get answering a call, but unless there's breaking news, you can wait a minute for me to finish my call before you start squawking into the phone from five feet away.

    Co-workers who walk right past your desk on their way outside for a smoke break, then return to ask you a question reeking of cigarettes.

    An internal tweet is a DM. Agreed, one of my serious pet peeves. Directly related to sports radio people telling me they "tweeted out" whatever and you can read about the story that's pinned at the top of their Twitter page. Look, I'm in the car. I'm not going to your Twitter page.

    What used to annoy me when we weren't as connected was listening to the sports report on an all-news station while driving Sunday evening, and only getting two local NFL scores and being told, "find the rest of the scores at KPOD.com"

    If I had access to a device where I could get to KPOD.com. I wouldn't be listening to you. Just read all the damn scores.

    Or the reports that say "winners last night were Braves, Reds, Marlins, Giants and Mets." I didn't memorize the schedule, would it kill you to add who they beat?
