When someone knocks on your front door when you're not expecting anyone.

Along those lines, nothing annoys me more than someone I know deciding to just drop by out of the blue.  People who actually know me know not to do it, but it still happened from time to time.  I find it to be incredibly selfish behavior.  "Oh, I'm in the area and wanted to say 'hi', but in actuality I'm demanding you drop what you're doing to entertain me.  Because I value my time more than yours, and feel that my mere presence warrants your undivided attention regardless of what you were doing or in the middle of."

I mean, if someone wants to meet up and hang out, cool.  Let's do it.  But don't just think I'm going to drop what I'm doing (even if it's something dumb) simply because you show up unannounced.
True story:

My friends used to show up unannounced all the time and then drink all my beer. So, I told them don't even show up with out a 12pak. One day they showed up with a 12pak. That was cool! However, they showed up everyday with a 12pak. I thought it was weird but, left it alone.

So, I go to my local liquor store to buy some smokes. They asked me when I was going to pay my tab. I said, "what tab?" "The tab your friends have been putting 12paks on all week".

FUCK!
