If there's one thing that drives me nuts it's people talking crap on the airwaves.
Not so bad where I fly now but the area where I used to fly it was non-stop. On CTAF, "numbers", 121.5 and any other freq people dreamed up that they thought would be "discrete" but usually wasn't. Not only would there be protracted, rediculous radio calls but we'd hear all about the pub last night, the pub tonight, the pretty boats on the water below, the hot passengers in the back etc etc.

if people have time to talk rubbish on the radio they have time to fly the aircraft properly.
I know, there will be people who disagree with this.
I have no problem with people discussing operational/ important stuff but when it becomes a social network it's time to shut up. Use the phone or e-mail after your flight. I have lost count of the number of times I haven't been able to make calls because some goose with nothing better to do is chatting on freq.
End of rant
