(In no particular order)
Radio interviewers who take way too much time (and too many words) to ask an athlete a question, especially when the second half of the question is all but giving the guy's answer for him. He's already taking time out to talk to us listeners, why make him wait even longer to open his mouth?
People at large restaurant tables who are too busy with whatever conversation they're in to recognize the name of their main course when the harried waitstaff brings it out. "Santa Fe chicken? Santa Fe chicken?" And then just when the waitstaff are about to give up, Mr. Talky finally gets a clue. "Oh yeah, that's mine."
