In real life you rarely get pilots who actually dont know what theyre doing and think they can do what they want.
You might want to revise your thoughts on this matter. I've had real life pilots who have had problems understanding the following:

'Pass your message'
'Report field in sight'
'Say again'

and especially:

'Stand by'

These people are not idiots. They are usually low hours ppl's or learners trying their best with an alien language and confusing procedures. And, believe it or not, there are hundreds of them about! And they have to be dealt with calmly and helped as much as you would any other pilot, in fact, they probably require your help more than most.
