As an FO, it's particularly annoying when you fly with a captain one week who gives you the old eye roll for saying fife/tree/niner, and then fly with another captain a week later who gives you the same old eye roll for not saying that way.
I imagine the guys who pinch a loaf with the way you say the numbers 3-5-9 in an ATC transmission probably have a problem with the way their first officers do everything else.

If I remember correctly, after a while it was annoying to fly with ANY captain.

I wear my glasses while deadheading during the day to reduce glare. Surely *duh-duh-tiss* that can't count!

I just looked at him in disbelief and asked, "WHY are you wearing your Sunglasses, at night, INDOORS??"
He shruged, smiled and said, "Because, when you're Cool, the sun shines on you 24 hours a day."
Needless to say, we did not score any hot chicks that night!

Oh, I forgot the best part, he was wearing tight pants and his shirt was unbuttoned to reveal his hairy chest, and a big gold chain.
Too bad the term -Tool- had not been invented yet, because this guy was a TOD no doubt.
