The Pilot/Amateur A&P Mechanic who, ironically enough, carries a bunch of tools with him and attempts to troubleshoot/fix everything and anything that breaks.
Particularly annoying as PF, as this rare breed of tool pulls and resets circuit breakers at random causing numerous other items to suddenly shutoff/reset.
Further easily identified as the guy who hovers over the mechanic, often in said mechanic's way, while delivering a lengthy dissertation on why it broke, how it broke, the many different times they have seen the item break, possible causes of the failure, and finally how to fix the failure.
(It's funny watching the mechanics sit and nod, you can almost read the writing on their faces)

Yeah there's a guy at my airline who literally will take up two write up boxes in the mx log with a lengthy description of everything. He will talk to MX/SOC for 30 minutes minimum on the phone following any malfunction.. Then, when MX shows up, he practically tries to coach them on the issues...

. My CA did exactly the same thing on the last trip.

My much younger, female first officer pointed out a nominee in ATL's C concourse. ASA fo wearing "skinny jean" equivalent uniform pants (also wearing his sunglasses indoors). She was cracking up and I wanted to cry. By the time we thought to snap a pic, he was gone.

His pants ate him, and his ego

He probably needed the sunglasses to protect his eyes from the glare reflecting off his man bulge.
