It's been a while since I did much radio work with ATC and was dreading
it but found ATC very courteous, helpful, and professional.

Those people work in pressure cookers, and yet they manage to be so
nice.

I've heard others grumble about rude controllers, but in 50 years of
military and civilian flying, I can't recall ever being treated
rudely.

Even when I did something stupid.
You must have a different standard for rude :~)

I've seen a few (not a lot, thankfully) that had some male version of PMS.
