I think it is important to have a bit of a laugh with your instructors. Any which are too serious and too proud of their gold stripes tend to be the bad ones......
You also get bad students I imagine. I knew a bloke who told his instructor "to stop telling him what to do all the time". I also knew the instructor as he taught me to fly, and he was brilliant. He was also complaining all the time because the instructor wouldn't let him go solo......he didn't seem to realise that you need to be able to land before you are allowed to solo. Suppose he thought it was number of hours which counted, not ability. Typical JAR boy
