Taxi drivers

Is it just me? In the back of a cab on the way home and the taxi driver got into a radio conversation about a pick up. Two at a time transmitting so the conversation went on and on as they repeatedly trod on each other.

1. The word roger was repeatedly used, incorrectly, over and over again, my ears were practically bleeding
2. The verbosity was incredible! No wonder they kept talking over each other

Honestly I thought I was going to get an "over and out" any second. It took all of my mental strength to not grab the ptt out of his hand and scream, at the top of my voice, "ROGER DOES NOT MEAN YES OR UNDERSTOOD IT JUST MEANS YOU RECEIVED THE EFFIN MESSAGE AND YOU MAY OR MAY NOT ACT ON THE INFORMATION FFS"

Does it grate on anybody else too or is it just me?
