The FM birds are *far* worse than any HF pile-up I've ever heard, and I've been a Ham since 1964......

Listened to any HF pileups recently? The same thing constantly happens there, why would the satellites be any different?

No. These people hear the downlink. This was a pileup situation for a rare grid. Everyone was just too impatient to let the QSO complete before calling. I was clearly called by the DX, and when I attempted to give my report, I was crushed by another station calling. Most of it did get through, in pieces.
Could have used some more juice to make 100% sure that QSO was complete!
There are a few of us who will just have to wait and see if we did get in the log.

Are these chit-chatters taking up time? Or possibly someone who does not
hear the downlink?
Or a combination of the two?
