Appart from that, most annoying is not being able to tell us what they want. I’ve often had to use simple language like, “what do you want to do?” , in order to find out their intentions or wishes.
Re. the first point... Yeh, right!
Second point: Totally agree, the general standard of RT seems to have markedly declined over the years. Many pilots don't actually seem to know what they are supposed to say, or ask for. It causes other pilots almost as much frustration as it must to ATC, especially on a busy frequency.
Another highly frustrating thing some pilots do is to ask for a service then once given it they turn down their receive volume so ATC have to make repeated calls to them.
