My favourite stuck mic was when a tug driver blocked out the ground frequency in peak hour. The safety officer who hunted him down forgot the first principle of the stuck mic (everyone can hear you) and inadvertently broadcast something like 'your mic's #$%^ you #$%^ dopey #$%'. The airwaves went silent, followed by a quiet 'thank you' from the SMC.

Second favourite was a student departing BAF bumping the button as he explained that 'it all turned to sh1t' to his instructor. Tower responded in a nice, cosy voice 'and it's not getting any better, is it'.

Re the inverse law of voice attractiveness, it's funny how people you 'meet' frequently on the radio often look completely different to how you imagined them. Not necessarily hotter or fuglier, just different.
