Guys that want to talk constantly on the leg back to the hub on stand-ups. Listen buddy, I've only had 4 hours of sleep a night for the past 3 nights, I'm exhausted, it's not even sunrise yet, and you want to blather on about Britney Spears? Shut up!

My gripe...Tedious anal retentive airline pilots who constantly gripe about ridiculous crap that doesn't matter AT ALL! THIS IS JUST A JOB. Not a dream. We're not brain surgeons here. Oh...my real gripe, The guy who says that he can tell difference between the 757-200ER and the 757-600WTF by counting the rivets on the lav service door. I DON'T F'n CARE!

...oops...another pet peeve. It's 'Intents and Purposes' not 'intensive purposes' genius. Intensive purposes? What on earth could that possibly mean? Think I'm being anal retentive enough yet? Mission accomplished. Roger. Over.

A little perspective for some of you FO's out there (Especially the one's who complain about the captain wanting to call for the checklist) from a guy who upgraded within the last year...
You're going to realize when you're in the left seat that you did a lot of stuff as an FO that would annoy the sh*t out of you as a captain. Captains run their cockpit their own way- that's just how it is. Wait until you're a Captain before you start passing judgement on guys you fly with. Don't try to be the Captain until you are. Until then just try to help out and "assist the Captain" like your Operations Manual probably tells you to.

I agree with that statement for the most part but some of them need to remember what it was like when they were FOs.
