I was climbing out of Salt Lake in the King Air, and Salt Lake Center gave me a number of heading changes.
Center:
“King Air 114CW, turn left to heading 095.”
[pause]
Center:
“King Air 114CW, turn right, heading 125.”
Me:
“Center, 4CW. What is the reason for the heading changes? Am I overtaking traffic ahead?”
Center:
“4CW, I am trying to up my professionalism – so why don’t you up yours?”
This controller was an old friend who recognized my voice, and he pulled a good one on me. It was really funny at the time….
