Don't forget the ones that show up for an interview in a professional office wearing a t-shirt and shorts.

then the ones that have no experience at all for a position that was clearly marked "experienced only" and you wind up with the three or four qualified people out of a hundred that applied. What a waste of paper!

That one depends a little bit on the actual position and how idiotic the person writing the ad was; I remember seeing a company advertising for Java programmers with a minimum of five years of experience in 1996. Java was released in 1995; the only people with 5 years of experience using it were quite happy in their jobs at Sun..
There's also a local company that lists on TWC that keeps using ANDs for all of the required experience in the matching program instead of ORs; they'll list a position for a shop hand that needs 2+ years experience as a machinist AND shop supervisor AND material handler etc. One listed so many possibilities that the only way a person could possibly get the computer system to match them would be to have spent over 70 years of working in a machine shop in every possible job.
