I guess I'll throw in my pet peeve as well.....people that say "this is".......Grand Rapids approach, this is Cessna123AB......my primary instructor drilled it into me that you shouldn't say it and it has stuck....

It's hard talking to ATC with a mouth full of chew.
Glad we're on the same page here.

Oh wait, he was the one getting you ready for your instrument ride? He went to an airline? That's silly.It's hard talking to ATC with a mouth full of chew.

What's even better is when a guy uses "fishfinder" in a G1000 182. Tallyho!
Nah, different guy. First person I've ever seen chew tobacco in a $300,000 airplane.
While we're complaining about radio technique... ANYBODY who doesn't listen before they key the mic. There was a guy yesterday that, without fail, would hit the transmit button to make a radio call at the exact same time someone else was talking. He may have been a student pilot.... so in that case, it's his CFIs fault. I can see it every now and then if you just happen to key the mic right at the same time someone else does, but this guy was doing it right in the middle of the other guys radio calls. And while we're still at it, overly long conversations on unicom between small shiny jet crew and the FBO about passenger stuff. I'd like to be able to tell everyone where I am so I don't hit one of the 20 student pilots flying around the pattern, not how the boss doesn't want pickles with his catering order.

"Yeah, uh, we're pretty level!" (actually overheard)
I may have been guilty of this, once. (Don't taze me, bro!)
I've also uttered "yeah, Beercan wun two tree alpha bravo" in response to "do you have the traffic in sight?" Not my finest day.

This.
Had a southern jets guy do this to me when I was trying to copy a lengthy amendment to my clearance. Not once, but twice. Grinds my gears.

Had this problem yesterday. I'm working in and out of the bravo(vfr), not in it yet. ATC comes back, 12345, approved as requested. Um.... 12345 cleared in the the bravo? 12345 Approved as requested. So I'm cleared into the bravo then? 12345, Affirmative. 
I could not get him to say cleared into the bravo for anything. I needed to hear those magic words, and he wouldn't do it even though the intention is clearly there.
I was like the opposite of getting a plane to read back the clearance.

Actually if you look in the AIM it only says you need a clearance from ATC, nothing about hearing "cleared into class bravo"
I used to think the same until a very senior instructor where I work brought it up.

Yeah it works for me. I ended up just saying screw it, he clearly means I'm ok after going back on forth 3 times, so I did it.

I always taught my students that Roger was what you said when you were supposed to respond but didn't really know what to say

Meh, doesn't bother me too much (After all, it's what all the cool JJJJJJEETTTT pilots are saying these days.)
