I was in the Scottish Domestic Ops room at the time of the incident referred to at the top of this thread. The guys there were under SEVERE pressure due volume of traffic coming into the sector with nowhere to put it out! It ended up with three bods on a two-man sector (three pairs of eyes being better than two, etc,). The poor guy who took the c**p from the birdseed boy used a lot of his very valuable thinking-time to sort the situation out - just what he needed NOT! On the positive side, the third pair of eyes was the Watch Manager, who witnessed the entire event first-hand, and as such will be able to give splendid evidence to the appropriate body when the w****r is finally called to justify his behaviour.
Let's all keep this type of nonsense for the queue in the pub.
