This list is funny partly because sometimes I think the same stuff in my head, and partly because it's amusing to see what judgments people make of other folks' behavior.

I miss ticket jackets but they were kind of a waste. I have a leather travel documents holder now because it's a handy place to keep boarding passes and HOOU coupons and I never forget where I put my boarding passes. Everything else is stored electronically in WorldMate.

There are several legitimate reasons to make an "I just landed" call. Calling your ride immediately after landing may also be called "summoning transportation". When my ride is coming from Decatur on a Friday night, I still beat him to the curb in ATL for pickup. I always do it really quietly though, so I don't look kettle-like.

I will also admit to a fondness for MDxx's. (I don't think actual kettles -- even Medallion Kettles -- even know what type of aircraft they're flying on.)

Or... I'm just a Medallion Kettle trying to justify myself.
