Default What annoys you about your captain?

Let's hear what bugs you about a guy or gal you've flown with. Captain, first officer, or flight engineer (for you Connie Kalitta types).

#Is it that he slams on the brakes with only a foot of taxi travel remaining?
#Is it that he doesn't tell you the altitude and heading change that occurred while you were on the pot? It's for you to figure out?
#Is it that she collects all the baby shampoo bottles at each hotel and sells them on eBay?

There are some crazy cats among us.

Let's hear what annoys you...

Here's mine:
-Making an excuse for every error made. Correct (and acknowledge) the mistake and simply shut up

When the first officer reaches for the gear handle as a "hint" that I should be calling for gear down. And they exaggerate the lean. Annoying to no end!
