I ignore folks like that. If they don't start the contact with a full
set of calls and grid square there will be no joy for them.
Hmmm. What's your problem with that? I see only three good reasons to
call with grid first and no signal report. 1) It's a contest that
requires the grid, so VHF contest mode is in use; 2) the calling station
is in a location not consistent with his callsign, so you know where to
point your antenna; or 3) you're on VHF, where collecting grids is
common practice. And even then, you can get the grid from LOTW.
Since I'm a K9 call operating from NorCal, I usually call with my grid,
for reason #2.
When 6M is open to JA, calling stations almost always call with the
signal report first. If you don't respond, you'll be the one with no
joy. And, BTW, almost all of my 6M FT8 JA QSOs (about 50) are in LOTW!
