Sometimes when you read the ASRs it stinks of 'I'm a new Captain and I like to kick up a fuss about something to show I'm now a Captain and I'm very important...'
I agree it is embarrassing. It's the minority not the majority though, and probably also a result of venting frustration about the bigger issues that can't be controlled.
