After the door closes on his backpack and then reopens, triggering that automated "Please allow the doors to close announcement", he then proceeds to spin around in the space with no regard for the face space his 74 pound eurotrash mobile home sized backpack takes up. Someday I'm going to just throw the backpack with or without it's owner attached.

Maybe not tool worthy but...
What's the deal with logbook write ups that start with "FA reports..." or "During post flight..."?
It's like saying "it's not my fault", or even worse "we discovered this at the outstation but didn't write it up till now". Just state what is broken.
Speaking of statements, I heard this the other day: "Boston center this is Airline xxx checking in, with you, in the climb..." Just spit it out, dude. None of that is necessary.
Is it just me? (don't answer that)

I've seen more than one grey haired (S & P), Major airline Captain, with a backpack. Sporting Reeboks is an overkill. I don't use a backpack, I do think it diminishes the professional "look" of an airline pilot. However, most of all, some would say that their paycheck is the most unprofessional component of this equasion.
