Controller: Channex 890 via VA1 line up and wait 24L
Aircraft: Line up 24L
Controller: Channex 890 24L clear takeoff ...
Aircraft: Er, we're not quite ready ma'am
Controller: [many expletives to colleagues in tower!!!]
I don't the exact circumstances because I wasn't there - but it happens. And despite the fact that it may be inconvenient to the controller who may have to change the traffic plan - you do have another plan don't you? - it just shows a rather limited understanding of how aircraft are operated.

Possibly didn't like being given instructions from a lady controller.
For heaven's sake, get the chip off you shoulder!
