hell, if someone i'm paying would yell at me, i'd take his kneeboard and stuff it up his arse.
Luckily i have never flown with someone who is that stuck up - fortunatly most instructors know that such actions wont get them far.
What you have to do is actually tell him that your not going to take that from him. Stand up for yourself - even if its mid-air. Worst thing, or better yet - the best thing, thats going to happen is that he wont fly with you anymore and you'll get a new instructor.
I had a buddy once who went up with his instructor to do some instrument training. He was Pre-PPL and under the hood. After 10 min of S&L flight and hearing nothing from his instructor, he peeked and saw him asleep. What my buddy did was take the hood and throw it into his face - literally. He told him off.
Always remember - its your money - you decide who gets it. And when you wave money around, people will concede to it.
