Taxing out of ramp one on Lima with instructions to transition to Mike at Juliet. As we approached ramp 4 or 5 Southwest called for taxi. Told to follow the 757 on Lima which was us. Instead they bolted out in front of us. We were going slow (15 knots or so) however there were a dozen aircraft in line for departure. They were chastised by ground and said sorry thought they were following a different 757 that was long past. After turning on to Lima instructed to transition to Mike at Juliet. They read that back and then stated they could accept a intersection departure at M16 and were fully ready! Long pause and ground said, "You're not from around here are you!".

“Delta xxx is switching to tower” (wasn’t told to)
“Delta xxx is rolling” (who ever says this unless asked to??)
“Delta xxx is in the turn” (on an RNAV SID.. )
“Delta xxx is switching to departure” (not told to)
All completely unnecessary babble on the frequency completely unwarranted by the controller. We all have pilots who do and say dumb stuff. Is what it is.
