I saw a topic of a similar title on another forum I went to, and just wanted to post it here. Smiley Grin (i'm not sure if these have been posted before or wotnot, but meh)

Quote:
Actual air traffic control messages


From an unknown aircraft waiting in a very long takeoff queue: "I'm f...ing
bored!"

Ground Traffic Control: "Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself
immediately!"

Unknown aircraft: "I said I was f...ing bored, not f...ing stupid!"

==========================================

O'Hare Approach Control to a 747: "United 329 heavy, your traffic is a
Fokker, one o'clock, three miles, Eastbound."

United 239: "Approach, I've always wanted to say this...I've got the little
Fokker in sight."

==========================================

A Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich overheard the
following: Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance
time?"

Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English."

Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in
Germany.  Why must I speak English?"

Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because
you lost the bloody war."

==========================================

Tower: "Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on frequency
124.7"

Eastern 702: "Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure.  By the way, after
we lifted off we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the runway."


Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff behind Eastern 702, contact
Departure on frequency 124.7.  Did you copy that report from Eastern 702?"

Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, roger...and yes, we
copied Eastern.  We've already notified our caterers."

==========================================

The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a
short-tempered lot.  They not only expect one to know one's gate parking
location, but how to get there without any assistance from them.  So it was
with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following
exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call
sign Speedbird 206.

Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway."

Ground: "Speedbird 206.  Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven."

The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.

Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?"

Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."

Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not been
to Frankfurt before?"

Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, and I didn't
land."

==========================================

While taxiing at London's Gatwick Airport, the crew of a US Air flight
departing for Ft.  Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a
United 727.  An irate female ATC ground controller lashed out at the US Air
crew, screaming: "US Air 2771, where the hell are you going?! I told you to
turn right onto Charlie taxiway!  You turned right on Delta!  Stop right
there.  I know it's difficult for you to tell the difference between C and
D, but get it right!"

Continuing her rage to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting
hysterically: "God!  Now you've screwed everything up!  It'll take forever
to sort this out!  You stay right there and don't move till I tell you to!
You can expect progressive taxi instructions in about half an hour and I
want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell
you! You got that, US Air 2771?"

"Yes, ma'am," the humbled crew responded.

Naturally, the ground control communications frequency fell terribly silent
after the verbal bashing of US Air 2771.  Nobody wanted to chance engaging
the irate ground controller in her current state of mind. Tension in every
cockpit out around Gatwick was definitely running high.

Just then an unknown pilot broke the silence and keyed his microphone,
asking: "Wasn't I married to you once?"
