I have had one fabulous boss, whom I worked for as an assistant manager before I left for university. During high school, and since university... not so fabulous bosses! But you get that.
All the points you have listed there annoy me too! Lateness I have been guilty of once or twice, but I cannot stand pretentiousness, lack of professionality or ineptness! I've had a couple of bosses guilty of those themselves actually.

That off the cuff comment gave me not only satisfaction but also an understated amount of passive power - he needed me more than I needed advancement.
Bosses pay people to work - if you're efficient - then peception is that you have time on your hands and you're given more work - vicious cycle.
Then again - there are people we all know who have the ability to look busy and do buggar all.
It's the old high school trick really of carrying a clip board under your arm - look like you're supposed to be somewhere, look like you're on a mission and look committed - and chances are no-one will ever challenge you.
Nice (short) post.
