One thing that drives me up the wall is when the person on the other
end of the phone holds the handset so the microphone part is under
their chin instead of in front of their mouth.

I've seen many people doing this (when I've been in their office and
they've taken a call). Don't they realise that they should speak
directly into the mouthpiece for the best transmission?
