While we're ranting, the frat boy-esque "See ya!" sign off has always bothered me as conspicuously unprofessional and, well, dumb.
We aren't robots, it's okay to have fun sometime. A friendly See-ya hurts no one unless maybe you're in New York approach; talking obnoxiously on guard? Different story, it's an emergency/contingency frequency.
