Just don't reach up and start pressing buttons because that's what you think they want. I know some guys who don't want LNAV selected until they do the navigation briefing because it'll capture and disengage while we sit. Certainly I'll do PM stuff especially if he generously offers to do the walkaround. But when it comes to setting it up to actually navigate, I leave that to the PF.

Switch late, straight to jail.
Forget to switch, right to jail.

On the checklist topic, I don't care if the other guy quarters his while he reads it, but if he leaves it quartered when it goes back in the holder and it slides down and gets stuck, that is the issue.

I’ll even reach over and deselect all the captain’s radios and hot mic for the next guy.

With how maxed out some CAs leave all the volumes you'd think they might have some hearing issues...oh wait.
