People who pick up their business phone and say "Hello?" instead of the company name and their own name.
Whenever people do that, unless it's an internal extension I have no way of knowing whether I've called a wrong number and reached someone's home by accident, or if it is actually them. I end up saying, "Uhh, is this X?" or "With whom am I speaking?"

My take on this is that these people are too insecure to answer the phone with their name. It takes a certain panache, don't you think? It sounds soooo dumb to just say "hello."
