Hearing people eat with their mouths open.

And slow drivers in the fast lane.

On condition wrote:People who say 'base to final'. You are either one or the other. I heard one winner say 'crossing midfield, joining left downwind, base, and final for runway 33'. Trying to save cycles on the PTT? Why not call clear of active while you are at it?

Base to Final normally means you are in a turn from base to final.

Just to clarify (not point fingers):

"Clear of the zone" is incorrect at an ATF.
"Clear of the Circuit" is required by RAC 4.5.7(a)(iii)(C):

That will help ease my nerves a little bit next time

Not so much as a pet peeve but just makes me howl with laughter is when someone gives an eta in zulu time. (usually in a 172 with a heavy accent)

and people who say "decimal"

People who DON'T get pissed off when I say "...any conflicting, please advise" because I'm trying to piss all y'all off.

cjpilot, that's only because you are a jealous copilot.

I once went to a travel clinic in Montréal during winter and saw someone from Garda, a private security firm. The man looked like having very broad shoulders.
Then I remarked his 4 bulky stripes on his coat.
He removed his coat which showed another set of 4 bulky stripes on his sweater.
He remover his sweater which showed another set of 4 bulky stripes on his shirts.

His shoulders were not that broad anymore

Ground crews who refuse to address me as Captain when fueling up my Cherokee.

Quite the contrary actually.

IMHO stripes in the right seat are just as ridiculous as stripes in the left seat. Contrary to popular belief, the presence of stripes on one's shirt has no correlating effect on aircraft performance.

NO...but it does make a huge difference in the way flight crews are treated by government authorities in many countries around the world.

I think TG was being funny with the jealous part.

Re: epaulets - At a large airport in West Africa, the handler told me I wasn't allowed to be airside unless I had bars on my flight suit, so yeah, they do have their place!
