I personally enjoy the gate hustle, slam the brake, make the plane rock back and forth a minimum of 3 times. 4 is preferred, 5 is varsity level. Run the shutdown checklist, and then if the jetway driver isn't there in 3 seconds, tell the FO to call ops and let them know we are here. "Umm. we just called them 3 seconds ago on the taxi in..." Pretty sure calling them a third time isn't going to make them appear any faster...
