"Cleaning" my desk without my permission...
That has got to be the worst one. I had a running battle with our office cleaner. I won in the end. I had four piles on my desk for around two weeks because I was too damned busy to file them any other way (completed contracts, signed and pending, waiting to sign and proposals) and the cleaner moved them into one big pile. I sorted them into piles again, and the cleaner moved them. This went on for three days.
After 3 days I left a little note saying "These papers are in different piles for a reason. Please don't move them.". On my desk the next morning (and I kid you not) was a ring binder...

Please sticky me the details of your office cleaner.
I like their attitude.

Always good for a laugh.

touching the monitor to point at something and leaving a big nasty greasy fingerprint
This seems to happen to me a lot after lunch when a co-worker has just eaten a big greasy double cheesburger or a bag of potato chips or something like that. When it happens I always pull out a napkin and wipe the screen down while they are standing there but they never seem to catch on.
but they never seem to catch on
Buy a box of latex gloves and hand them out asking, "...if they see anything else that interests them on the screen."
In our office the bathroom door being left open is punishable by evil glares and almost certian flogging.
My personal Peeves is someone fudging around with my keyboard or messing with the crap on my desk.
(Ok - maybe I have some issues of my own to resolve here - but you asked, alright! Now leave me alone!)
uh... password protection on the screen saver might help.
Talking to me.
Is it safe to have the dogs relay messages to you?
Seagull management.
Micromanagement.
Giving and revoking ownership of tasks at a whim.
Practical jokes when people have deadlines to meet.
Being late to a meeting because you're too disorganized to keep to a schedule.
Starting meetings late because you're too disorganized to keep to a schedule.
Having meetings run late because you're too disorganized to finish a meeting on time.
Having meetings run late because you're goofing off too much.
Getting too personal ("how's that gallbladder scar healing?").
It goes on and on.
