Anyone got any funny/bizzare/scary transcripts from ATC, I heard one the other day that made me chuckle, cant remember the callsign name so made it up for use in this.

Controller : 'Alpha Five Two, please give me you're wingmans callsign'.
Alpha Five Two : 'Negative, I do not have a wingman'.
Controller : 'Alpha Five Two, be advised, you have traffic'.

Used to know a ton of them, but they have been forgotten over the years. A few of my favs that I still remember go something like this (paraphrasing):

Controller: United560, perform a right 360 for spacing.
Pilot: Do you realise that it costs us $2,000 in fuel everytime you give us a 360?
Controller: No, but in that case, give me $4,000 worth.

Story 2.
A pilot unfamiliar with the airfield taxied off of the runway, and after receiving a long string of complicated taxi instructions proceeded to turn the wrong direction off the first taxiway intersection. Needless to say, the female ground controller way miffed!

Controller: Delta406, I didn't tell you to turn that way, you were supposed to turn the other way. Just stop right there! You know, you've totally screwed everything up! Now I'm going to have to redirect the other planes because you're too stupid to follow directions!

There was a moment of embarrased silence as the flight crew absorbed the verbal lashing. Finally an unknown pilot keys up:

Unknown Pilot: Wasn't I married to you once?

Story3

This one sounds a bit dubious, but w/e.

A British Airways 737 was in Berlin. Again, the crew was not familiar with the airport, and proceeded to muck up the taxi instructions.

German Controller: BA242, you're going the wrong way! Haven't you ever been to Berlin before?
Pilot (in perfect English accent): My mates and I were here in '45, but we didn't land, we just did a drop off!

I'm driving through NC and TN, 7.5 hours on Friday myself. Good luck!

A story went something like this:

Unknown airplane: "Man, I'm ****ing bored."
ATC: "Identify yourself immediately!"
Unknown airplane: "I said I'm ****ing bored, not ****ing stupid."
