Absolutely! I used to think JFK was the worst ground/approach controllers, extremely arrogant and rude, for no good reason other than some don't understand rapid fire New York speak first time.
This Oz controller in DXB(droll monotone voice), is really getting a bad name amongst the pilots. We all know its busy, we don't always get things right the first time (probably been flying 16 hours). Some crews believe it or not are not based in DXB, so have patience with them. Navigating on the ground can be the most stressful part of any flight! If we get it wrong, tell us in a polite non condescending way, and we will thank you. Otherwise we will think you are an ass.
