Tools that talk loudly in the hotel hallway and let their room door slam especially late or early.

W** is up with this? I can't stand when my own crew does this. We are the same people that hate this.

Amen, shut the f*@ck up when in the hallway late at night, or early in the morning. You have been there both times, so show some empathy.

Or just do like I used to when I would have the 4am van... fill out the 'breakfast menu' doorknob hanger with the earliest delivery time and most expensive items. Even better if it was a drunk party slamming the doors.

I still ring the miscreant's room from the lobby giving them their well deserved wake up call. Then one more time from the airport just to drive the point home.

Back in the days of Spectravision, I turned on one of the porn channels and left it on full blast for the people next door.

Oh yeah!!! Before the advent of the flat screen, that was SOP.

AIM 4-1-9 "Pilots stating, “Traffic in the area, please advise” is not a recognized Self-Announce Position and/or Intention phrase and should not be used under any condition."

And if anyone would like to nominate me for quoting the AIM go ahead I accept but you really have no idea how frustrating this is at a really busy uncontrolled airport.

Yeah...the anal F-15 driver in me is coming out, but when I am out flying GA this irks me too. To me that call always sounded like "Hey...I am coming though! All you other people better speak or or stay outta my way...."

Setting the bed side alarm clock to go off 5 minutes after I leave the room for a "Oh GOD early" van has always been a personal favorite.....especially when the band of merry drunks/party goers reside just next door. Finding the most ridiculous Techno/Dance/House/Break-Beats station (Tejano Hair Metal, a close second), and turning the preset volume up all the way as to let the magic happen when the clock strikes "go-time".

Childish??? Maybe.......Pure satisfaction in making up for the lose of sleep the night prior?? Absolutely!!
