People who grab the amud and daven really really slow, in general, but especially at a wedding!

Especially the ones that make you type the whole name instead of the initials.

The uninformed who keep asking the same question over and over until they get the answer they want to hear.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

People who walk into the office and ask "did you get my email?", when in reality you answered it more than an hour ago and they just didn't notice it yet.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

I say "did you get my response"?

So do I. And then they say, "You're right - I didn't check my email today!"
And then we got through the same thing the next day. And the next day. And the next.

We all have those :(
What if you walked into their office every time you receive an email from them acknowledging you received it and its on your to-do list, then again a few minutes later to let them know it reached the top of your list and are ready to start working on it, then again when you take a coffee break, then again when you respond.. You get my point.
It may be annoying for the first few times, but hopefully the person will realize what's going on.

The funny thing is that I usually answer this person's emails right away (because they're fast), but they don't usually see it right away...

Yea I get the same. Its I'll usually get a follow up call 5-10 minutes after they send the email asking me if I got it (I've usually responded by then for this person), but my general response is: If you sent it, I received it.

Or the boss who sends you a to-do list over the weekend and then asks Monday morning whether it's done. Forgetting that you haven't actually worked (let alone seen the email) since it was sent.
