I have to do a lot of conference calls for work and most of these also apply. Especially the breaking up/extremely loud noise/disconnecting type ones...There's always someone that has to have an echo or extremely loud sounds coming through. Speaking of which I was in one the other month where someone dialed in on their phone, it was more of a single speaker and everyone listen type thing...The person on their phone pressed the 'on-hold' button and it started playing a funky little drum loop over and over to like 30 people, the presenter was trying to tell them to take it off hold forgetting that they are on hold and ended up having to just try and continue over the music loop. *EDIT* Found it [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-JbGKnsVE0[/media]

We use GoToMeeting most of the time. I love meetings that I just have to show up and do nothing.
These pretty much apply to Steam group chats. Including the "oh you've been here the entire time?". Ah, the wonderful world of VoIP.
