For example, my last job: I applied while drunk. Got a Skype interview. Was extended an offer 3 days later and it turned out to be a really cool gig with easygoing people.

But for it to my last job that means something went wrong and you don't have it any more >_>

This spells out the entire problem. You're dealing with people, and different people have different preferences. There is no standard for hiring practices, and each company does it their own way. Sometimes even different people within the same company do it different ways.

To some extent perhaps, but there are reasonable time frames for checking in and reminding people you still exist that almost every company and person under the sun would be okay with. Granted, you'd still lose brownie points with companies expecting you to be more assertive (or certain jobs, since sales supposedly looks for assertive behaviors), but you don't hurt yourself at the same time.
