I agree with what Rut said. His points 3, 4 & 8 probably cover one of my pet peeves - a partner putting the ball in play without making eye contact with me to see if I'm ready, which includes me being in position and making sure there are the correct number of players after substitutions.
I usually don't appreciate partners who put down other officials to me. Although if it's coaches they're talking about - cool!
I also object to partners who have just eaten bean burritos before the game - or worse, at halftime!
