Approach : "XYZ, turn right heading 090."
Me : "Right, 090."
1 minute later...
Approach : "XYZ, why did you turn in that direction instead of continuing north?"
Me : "Uhhh... because you told me too..."
Approach : "Oh, well that's as good a reason as any..."
Just coming off the busy period, I think he was stressed. Brightened up a dull flight though, gotta be thankful for that.
