There are some idiots up there!
Came across this, which if nothing else should give you a laugh!!
http://www.cyberair.com/tower/trans/displt.html
It’s a recording of a conversation between a lostif not stupid PPL and ATC.
The recording gets interesting after about 2 mins, so stay tuned!
Apart from the humour it will give those of you who intend to hour build in the States an insight into the different ‘style’ of ATC ‘dialog’!
This is not meant to start off a debate into the pros and cons of FAA GA, indeed I think it shows our US cousins in a very favourable light.
As for the idiot pilot,… the exist here too…believe me!

clear prop!!!
I've had about 700 hours of dual given flying out of DuPage Airport (DPA), and this is not the only example of confused pilots. The main problem are the 'weekend'-pilots that trained at uncontrolled airports and rarely fly into busy environments.
DPA can get very busy on the weekends, specially in the summer, and there is always some idiot that have no clue what's going on. The controllers do a very good job, and usually they are very patient. Situations like this do get very frustrating though.
