I can't believe I haven't seen the classic passive-aggressive option here.
Mutter to yourself as you work. Honestly, it seems difficult at first but once you get going it's self-sustaining. Muttering is enough to keep away some of the timid.
Whenever someone tries to interrupt you hold up your INDEX finger in the classic "hold a moment" gesture. Then go back to what you were doing and muttering. Ignore the person completely. If they make any noise, repeat the "hold a moment" gesture. Repeat until they go away.
Eventually they'll realizing that trying to bother you gets no result and will go bother someone else. It takes a little more time but it's quite effective and gets more of a "he's too busy to do that - go talk to [other person]" attitude going.
Note - make sure it isn't someone actually important trying to get your attention. That would be .. bad.
Unless you're being asked to write up all the missing parts of the documention then I too fail to see the WTF in this. You're charged with doing the deployment, document the damn thing as you've been told to do.
Wow? Someone else to clean up all my warnings? How do I sign up for this??
I stupidly spend all the time at the end of a project clearing up warnings and adding annotation.

My next guess is different schema in DEV/QA versus PROD, but that would be too obvious.
Second that. I've been dealing with a DEV/QA vs PROD situation like that for years.

TRWTF is that you have a credit card at all. Cut it up and cancel the account. I got out of the credit card game three years ago and life has been much better ever since
Try renting a car without a credit card. Ditto with reserving a hotel room. Buying an airline ticket is also kind of difficult.
If you have a debit card through your bank you generally have a credit card too. Look at the little logo in the corner. It isn't there just for decoration. If it's there, you have what amounts to a credit card even if the money is taken out of your account just like when you use a PIN.
Keeping a credit card for emergencies makes good sense. What are you going to do when your car needs $2,500 in repairs and you don't have the cash? Think about it.
This action actually has a name - "Threadomancy" and people who realize they're responding to a very old post will use it somehow.
I've seen it happen in a number of circumstances and about 75% of the time it actually is appropriate (trying to bring an outstanding issue to conclusion, saying thanks for a solution that actually worked, etc.) and the other 25% of the time is because someone was too lazy to see if there was a newer thread.
EDIT - ~facepalm~
Yeah, I just looked at the dates on the original posts. Um... threadomancy?

Format the document in excel to be printed at one page wide. Print the document. Scan-to-email (pdf image) the printed document to himself, Email that document to one of the admin staff, who would then: Enter each account manually from either the screen, or (usually) another printed copy.

I'm more bothered that some pages require javascript to work even though they behave identically to plain old html
OMFG. I'm cleaning up a club's web page in my copious spare time and the original developer has the e-mail addresses being generated by JS as the page is rendered. The output is identical to just putting the frappin' HTML in place.
My guess is that this is either some primitive attempt to spoof the address scrapers or he found the code somewhere and thought it was 'cool'.
Don't even get me started on the lame attempts at CSS.
