Unacceptable ATC attitude. That he did not "care" about the circumstances of a particular flight tells you all you need to know. The ATC guy could - and should - have said; 'Roger' instead of "I don't care about all that......." Extremely unprofessional; it's not a p*ssing contest,


If ATC put the approaching aircraft too close together causing a go-around; it is not the fault of the individual aircrews. We all miss our intended exits occasionally, usually for very valid reasons, and ATC really need to understand that - I would think they tell them that on the first day at ATC school ?


And the pilot controlling the 'plane is not the pilot who is talking on the radio, so the fact that PM was trying to explain to the idiot controller had no effect on PF exiting the runway.


ATC need to be able to change the plan at a second's notice to accommodate changes and events. They are selected and examined for their ability to do so, and most are brilliant at it - I could not do their job.


People like this ATC guy, however, need to look for another job.
