Compressed air: I like the idea of this but I hate how quickly the can seems to drain. I've tried using these to dust my toy collection too, and it's just not practical. And I have also not been able to get all of the dust out of my keyboard using one. I still need to buy that hand-vac that Bulgakov recommended upthread...
Coffee: I didn't start drinking coffee until I started working as a journalist in my 20s, and then it was mostly just because it was around. I generally do have to have a cup in the morning, so I probably have a mild dependence on it. I honestly enjoy it, though.
Calendars: I don't think I've ever had a desk calendar that I've consistently flipped every month of the year. I always end up leaving one month up for at least three. And dailies are right out.
Rubber bands: I never use these at work. As a kid, my dad used to tie two together and use them to kill intruding wasps and hornets. He'd shoot it from his fingertip and hit with startlingly good accuracy. I always wondered how he learned to do that.
