The AA guy at ORD didn't do what I would have, but I've never been there and he was probably on his second leg of the day there. You screw up a taxi clearance and cause an incursion, it's your hide. Then again, you read it back just as perfectly and still screw up it's still your hide.

Another one that I hate, "Tower cezzzna 1234" then "Cessna 1234 ABC tower, go ahead". Followed by "ABC Tower, cezzna 1234 10 to the north, with delta, landing ABC". All of that could have been cut in half if the pilot got to the point in the first place.
