Heard this one play out on the radio the other month.
"Airline #### descend at pilot's discretion and maintain FL340."
"PD to 340, Airline ####"
*a few minutes pass by*
"Airline #### descend and maintain FL340."
"Descend and maintain FL340 now, Airline ####"
"I thought you you said pilots discretion, which means WE descend when WE WANT down to 340!"
"Airline ####, affirmative, but now I need you to descend to FL340 due to converging traffic that would be hazardous to your health."
*In the most sarcastic tone possible* "Ohhhh Okayyyy I guess we'll descend to FL340 for our healthhh...."
Way to berate the controller for doing his job...

It was very much his business! Please explain how a non crew member, going through KCM with zero or a half assed bag check screening is not the business of ANY flight crew? If you saw a regular pax sneak thru security would that not be any of your business either? Plus as has been said it is idiots like that that screw it up for the rest of us.

Nah, regional guys are great to ATC. The 6th grade shenanigans on guard, on the other hand...I wouldn't even mind it so much if it was ever funny. But unprofessional *and* stupid? I hate to tell you guys this, but quoting that stupid, tired YouTube video is really not that funny.
