What REALLY grinds your gears?

This has been a fucking epidemic lately, but people just walking into my office and asking me for help without first checking if I'm busy is grinding the fuck out of my gears. I do IT support, and the culture where I work is to leave your door open, otherwise people think you're out of the office.

Should I just get over it? I ALWAYS ask someone, "Is now a good time?" when I come by unannounced. Just because I'm in the office doesn't mean I'm not doing something meaningful on a server, remote help, etc. Just feels rude as hell.
