Turbo checkin. Guy or gal throws the new frequency in and simultaneously keys the mic to check in, blocking current conversations. Then, a moment later, Checks in again only to block another radio call. Like they are the only one in existence.

Tune new freq, count to 3, transmit.

Had a SWA right behind us LAX-DAL the other day.. dude blocked everyone on every check on. Annoying to say least. F/O and I were dying laughing...guy did that EVERY SINGLE TIME! When we got to DAL-- I don't think he bothered (all approach & landing CLCs are just assumed and implied for them ;) )
 
Pilots who never initiate the appropriate ATC call with the ATIS, then of course ATC has to ask if you have ATIS xxxx and unnecessarily tying up the freq. Some of these guys/gals have been flying for over 30 years and still never learn.

After the five-hundredth time checking in with SoCal "with [letter]," and still being asked to "confirm you have ATIS [letter]" every damn time, you get a little jaded about it.

Ding ding.
 
Guys who don't make proper response to checklist challenges, even after they have been corrected a number of times.
