By 5 different recruiters from the same recruiting company, for the same position, and each subsequent one would only pop up after I'd refuse the previous one.
By getting the exact same offer in a different language, right after refusing it initially.
With the standard "You seem like a great fit" intro, for a senior PHP dev position, when I have no PHP experience listed anywhere on my profile.
I've also had a recruiter micro-manage me through interview preparation ("DO prepare, DO wear a nice shirt on the call, DO NOT talk about salary, or deviate from the number we gave them"), while he obviously couldn't be bothered to run a spell checker on his email.
So yeah...Not that I mind the attention, but it is tad unprofessional at times.

Fun update: today while looking at the list of people who viewed my profile on LinkedIn, I found this gem of a recruiter: his profile pic is him, waist up, shirtless, ripped and flexing :D

Was it Robert Half? Either way, I have had the same issue with a number of different firms. Very annoying I feel your pain.
