What REALLY grinds your gears?

...people walking into my office when my door is mostly closed without knocking. They come right around my desk too, plop their computer down and say, "Can you fix this?" Or just open the door right up, and start asking away. I just feel like common fucking decency is to ask, "Hey, is now a good time?" I've been interrupted on some stuff I need to concentrate on 20+ times today since I've been counting. I eventually CLOSED my door and put a note on it saying, "If my door is closed, please knock." 5 more came in, didn't knock.

I'm about to lay into someone. For the most part my "angry" is "civil", but someone is about to get lashed out at if they invade my shit again. Making me so fucking mad today.

If you've already tried being firm about office etiquette, and it ain't working, time to step it up TMC. They are just gonna keep doing it until one day you lash out and you end up in HR, like you're the one that needs fixing.
