My peeve is when inbound being told the current ATIS and runway to expect on each handoff ie. 3 or more times.

me: " Terminal C-GKFC 6 thousand with Charlie"
ATC: "KFC Charlie is current expect RWY 23"
me: "expect 23 KFC"

ATC: "KFC contact terminal 125.4 with heading"
me: "say heading on 125.4 KFC"

me: "terminal KFC 6 thousand heading 150"
ATC: "KFC expect 23 ATIS is charlie"
me: "yep"

ATC: "KFC contact arrival 132.8"
me: "arrival 132.8 KFC"

me: "Arrival KFC 6 thousand"
ATC: "KFC ATIS Charlie expect 23"
me: "got it buddy"


Like, I GOT IT man, you don't have to tell me 3 times! What a waste!
