Okay...you know what I hate? I hate it when you tell someone that you'll be looking through all the applications later today and then begin making phone calls to schedule interviews, and that person calls you back THREE more times "just checking to see if you looked at my application yet!". Sure, I looked at your application, but I'm not hiring you because YOU ANNOY ME. If I'm looking for help, it probably means I'm pretty busy, and if I'm pretty busy, I am NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY if I have to stop what I'm doing once an hour to talk to you on the phone. Got it?

I also hate it when the boys here say to a woman that walked in off the street for an application "She's on her lunch break...sure she'll talk to you now". It's called a lunch break for a reason, people.
