unfortunately i have to talk on the radio much more than i would like
 
LOL. In the Twinstar, I'll get the student to do the FADEC check and before takeoff flow/briefing while I taxi. Saves time, and I get to do the controls.
 
...in the middle of explaining something to your brand new private student, you hear your callsign, reply, and keep teaching without skipping a beat.
 
...you get that little glow of satisfaction every time a student does something just exactly the way you want them to.
 
...you laugh inside when a student who "knows everything about everything" literally freaks out when the gear warning goes off and he thinks the plane is about to blow up.

or he just keeps the descent going as he says "the stall warning horn is messed up, I'm not going that slow"
 
... you have all of the approaches memorized into your home airport. I still have the RAL ILS memorized lol 110.9, 089, 2500 @FAF, DA 994', missed: straight to 2000' climbing RT 3000' direct PDZ and hold on the 078 left turns.

That's always fun.

"Go around, and tell me what you did wrong".
It usually hits them when they go to retract the gear on the go-around.

...your student goes around because they didn't have three green and are about to declare an emergency when you calmly reach over and turn the nav lights off.

...you have a recurrent bruise on your left thigh.

Oh man I did that on purpose when I was instructing in the Arrow, when they were looking at the runway slide that dimmer switch up and see if they are actually checking 3 green 3 times before landing like I taught them. I think only one guy caught it the first time I pulled it on him.
