Welcome to the world in internet forums Jeff. Be glad someone didn't hijack your thread into the best recipe for Bundt cake.

I made a comment that during my first annual that all of my fuel lines needed changed. More than one person said that it should have been caught on the pre-buy inspection. Yeah....that doesn't really....

Just roll with it Jeff and don't expect the answer you want because a lot of times you won't get it.

It just gets old sometimes, vectoring off course no biggie - having words put in your mouth you didn't say... eh... whatcha gonna do

I wonder if it might get pilots a bit better on the radio if they sit on the other side for a few minutes.

I did this a couple of weeks ago, spent a little time in a class D tower (underlying Class B), definitely gives you a much better appreciation of what controllers really do. The field was fairly busy that day, the controller had a lot going on (hell I couldn't understand what half the pilots were even saying it was so fast and jumbled, and sloppy really) but the guy never missed a beat. Even managed to talk to me and explain a little bit about how his "side of the mike" worked all at the same time. Definitely a good experience, I would recommend it to anyone.
 
Hearing that controllers are busy makes me happy. It means that GA is not even close to dead.

Are they controlling GA or Commercial flights? ;)

I don't know where you cruise around, but I am most definitely in contact with ATC as a GA pilot, and I hear plenty of other GA pilots wasting controllers' time on the radio as well.

"Approach, 123, actually Delta is current".
"123 confirm you have ATIS charlie I need to hear those words".

Interesting. I've never had a controller say that to me.
 
That would be pretty weird when there's no longer any way to GET charlie.
 
Hey, don't knock the Bundt until you've tried it. I can honestly say that I've never ignored pilots while eating it....but then again I think the last time I actually saw a bundt cake was in the 70s.
 
I got an ad in the mail recently offering me a free sample of bundt cake. It was the first time I'd ever heard of it.
