Oh yes, NOTAMs that don't come into effect for at least a month.
There are settings on the NOTAM fields that govern the period valid for, please use that.

Having to ask several times for the same thing, such as coffee and catering. While I like being friendly to the FBO (and I think we should be friendly and pleasant) when it gets in the way of getting the job done, that is mildly irritating.

One thing that makes me laugh is calling in on the VHF aprox 30 min prior and asking for various services, only to be met by an eager FBO rep who wants to know what services I require. Err - don't they communicate with each other?

On the other hand, some FBO handlers are absolute gold. Anticipate every thing, bring stuff out in a timely manner, use initiative to get things done. Love them, they're great. (and usually get an email to either their boss if I have their address or to my chief pilot to pass the message on).
