The PSA pilot leaving the CLT E gates around 4:30pm yesterday.

I didn't catch how it started but I just assume the ramp was congested, and ramp control pushed a plane that blocked PSA from getting out. I think ramp said "sorry", but PSA took it a big step further by telling ramp they didn't know how to do their job, twice! It went something like this, unfortunately LiveATC doesn't record ramp frequencies because that would be audio gold.

PSA-"(bla bla bla) You blocked us with that plane"
Ramp-"Sorry about that (excuse)"
PSA-"...You just dont know how to do your job"
Ramp-"Say again?"
PSA- "Youre not doing your job right"
Ramp-"Well I can give you the ramp managers phone number and you can talk it out with them"
PSA-"Sorry we gotta go (said something snarky)"

Are you that ******* dumb that they aren't going to track you down and make you explain yourself? You're not anonymous calling on guard or on the internet, they know your exact flight number!

I know CLT has some real juvenile radio operators, but this took the cake.
