Sounds like the perfect example for another chapter in the book, "The Predatory Female".

Landing on 25L in LAS. It's busier than usual for arrivals. ATC told us to makes 1 S-turns on final. United 737 was behind us. We landed, hurried off the runway, (we almost has to go around due to spacing). Tower told United to go around.
United pilot - "You guys have to do a better job with this spacing" (He has a unique voice)
A couple minutes later
United - "what do you want to do with us now?"
Tower - "fly xxx heading, climb to xxx...... Was that you that told us to do a better job with the spacing?"
United - "I don't know what you're talking about"

I never understood pilots who like to quip ATC over separation. They don't tell you to dial a high speed in FLCH/open descent and throw the boards to make a restriction or preference to be down sooner. So why should you tell them about how to do their job? Could very well be spacing lost because one aircraft got slower than expected sooner and/or one was still faster and taking his time to slow.
They have the bigger overall picture, the pilot has only the picture of himself and the guy in front of him.
Don't be this pilot:
