  I hate it when I'm listening to something, and someone sneaks up behind me and taps me on the shoulder repeatedly to get my attention.

   I've actually screamed in situations like that! And I scared my brother, who snuck up behind me.

I use my Paradox Slants which use a variation of the HM5 earpads. Since they compress and basically encompass your ear completely, it isolates very well. 
 
The isolation it gives you also detracts from your attention to your surroundings when you're working...

I hate it when I'm listening to someone's recommendation to me, and it has a terrible drop.
Not music, but I hate it when I'm watching a YouTube video, and the person panned their voice to the far left.
I'm just sitting there, pulling the cable in an attempt to fix the channel, before I realize the person's just an idiot.

It sucks when the audio is slightly panned to the l/r, because then I worry my drivers are starting to crap out. Crossfeed helps...

I've definitely noticed something to that affect as well for some videos, and usually am afraid that there is channel imbalance with all my headphones...
 
Drives me crazy trying to figure out where the problem is.

Something else I hate:
Sometimes, there are sound in the middle of the song that make me think there is some noise going on in the outside world.  No matter how many times I listen to some of these songs, I never get used to that.

That happens to me all the time! Like when it sounds like a phone ringing or someone knocking on a door or calling out to you in the background.

Ironically, I started buying headphones so I would not get annoyed listening to my mian system. The room is big and relatively open to the rest of the house; can't close a door. With two teenagers, a wife, and four animals distractions are many. Cans pretty much take care of that.

I'm focusing on headphones because speakers never satisfied me...then again, I've never heard a high-end speaker system.

It sounds like someone's calling out to me all the time.  I've never heard a convincing phone ringing or door opening, but I hear that faint sound of some idiot making noise outside the recording area, and the artists always seem to miss that.

I've been listening to my headphones (which I usually do while walking to class or on the bus) and suddenly turn my head and look around for a noise I had just heard, which turned out to be my music. People must think I'm weird

Someone was in disbelief that I paid $65 for headphones.  I'm just gonna rub the V-Modas in her face, because she commented on the loudness of my current ones.

 

[Guidostrunk]

Agreed. Happens all the time. Lol

I hate when I'm enjoying one of my favorite songs, and someone tries to talk to me while I've got headphones on. What's worse is when I put my headphones back on after they're done talking and they start talking again.
