This is for that 1%.
It is not like you dudes never make a mistake! I can't even recall how many times ATC screwed up around me, and at the end I was still the one who ended up apologizing to save lengthy explanations, just to avoid arguments, in one word just so I can try to come through "professional".
I have no problem standing up when I f up but it does get old when I got nothing to do with it.
I don't have thousands of hours, but I can already recall several occasions when I got almost vectored into someone and that someone wasn't an ultralight w/o transponder and yes it was under radar contact. Still I never started to act like a dick, although we were about 5-10 sec away from going down. For some, that sounds like a good reason to show up with a shotgun.
Today I missed a heading assignment with Miami Approach working 125.5 around 5PM, and the dude chews my ass and denies us more than one approach. No problem I understand when it is busy, happens all the time. But then his relief, who manned the position a few minutes later, had no problems vectoring us for 2 more while being totally professional and super nice. So I guess it wasn't that busy after all, it was more of an attitude problem.
I am wondering weather that dude at MIA APP @ 125.5 realized that we are not doing that TMB NDB 9R practice approach for the scenery.
Well, me and my student, we sure hope this somehow gets to you as we are very concerned about you not being able to find your head in your a_ss. At least it is warm and quiet there, no need to talk to anyone.
Finally, I have never heard this voice an MIA APP (125.5) before, so for the rest of you SE FL ATC, incl MIA APP who are always trying to help us out and stay calm... this wasn't meant for you.
now I feel better...
