Those German controllers at Frankfurt Airport tend to be a 
short-tempered lot. They not only expect pilots to know their 
parking location but how to get there without any assistance. 

So it was with some amusement that we (PanAm 747) listened 
to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground and a 
British Airways 747 (radio call Speedbird 206) after landing.

Speedbird 206: "Good morning Frankfurt. Speedbird 206 clear 
to active."

Ground: "Good Morning. Taxi to your gate."

The British Airways 747 pulls onto the main taxiway and stops.

Ground: "Speedbird, do you know where you are going?"

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

Ground (impatiently): "Speedbird 206, have you never flown to 
Frankfurt before?"

Speedbird 206 (coolly), "Yes, in 1944. But I didn't stop."

One guy was trying to fix a blocked pipe under the sink.
He disconnected the pipe and put a bucket under the basin to
catch all of the water.  While he was working, he realized 
the bucket was getting full so he took the bucket and emptied
back in the sink again

Was heard on a public transportation vehicle while in Orlando. 
"When you exit this vehicle, please be sure to lower your head 
and watch your step.

If you fail to do so, please lower your voice and watch your 
language. Thank you."
