I was manning the mike at an airfield a few years ago and was trying to help a novice on his first XC who couldn't locate the strip - a bit lost in fact. When I got him overhead I thought that a cup of tea might help calm his nerves. The CFO grabbed the mike from my hands and said in no uncertain terms that the student had failed, that he should not land and he must immediately fly back to Blackpool (I think it was) where he started out.
Rudeness, it's nothing new.
