You gotta like it when you're clearing the inboard runway, waiting for a chance to call ground and they call you first, "Delta 123, taxi Lima to Ramp 4."
Or, even better, on an early Sunday afternoon, landed ATL 9R, cleared at N10, tower (9R) says, "Cross 9L at Dixie, join Lima to the ramp, stay with me."

You can land 4R or 27L/9R (long way/clockwise flow over the bridge) and made it all the way to the gate without even talking to single controller UNITL right before entering the ramp and being told "thanks for not stopping".
Or simply cleared the runway and gone to the penalty box without ever having to tell a controller about it.
