During CPL training debrief (re: position fixing with VOR/DME).

FI: You're very slow when it comes to your position fixes.
Me: Slow?
FI: Yes, your slow when you do them.
Me: I don't think I am
FI: You are. Your slow
Me: How quick do you want me to do them?
FI: Eh?
Me: How quickly do you want me to do them??
FI: You only did one fix in half an hour.
Me: Eh?
FI: You only did a position fix once in half an hour.
Me: That's not being slow! That's doing something infrequently.
FI: Eh?
Me: There's a difference between being slow and doing something infrequently!
FI: Eh?
Me: Right. Here's doing something infrequently. . . . Tune VOR, Ident, Display, Fix __________________half an hour later, Tune VOR etc. Here's doing something slowly_____________Tune VOR,______________________Ident___________________________, Display_______________________________Fix.
FI: Eh?

Honestly. Never come across such a retarded instructor. Thankfully she never made the airlines.
