So what? No one has exclusive use of an airfield. Delays are part of the system, whether it is waiting for higher priority traffic, a student to work out where they are, emergencies or a junior controller making an error. If you can't keep your cool for something minor, what happens when a real problem occurs?

To answer your question, counting to 10 on a typical single will burn around 1 lbs of A1 or half a litre. Not worth losing your license over,
