You know you're a pilot when.......

"Wrong instruction read back by the wrong woman..."

Kinda like when our mainline affiliate takes a clearance involving a turn, a descent, and a freq change intended for us, says 'see ya' then switches before anybody can say anything. You just kinda blink and wonder if you heard it right. LOL

"Cessna 1-3-2 November Victor, turn left heading..."
*dead air*
"Cessna 1-3-2 November Victor, turn left heading...."
"Uh, center, turning left heading..."
"Yeah. You listen about as well as my wife!"
"Well, this is Cessna *1-2-3 Victor November*, and if you call your wife by the wrong name, I don't blame her for not listening either."

This happened with SoCal Approach today actually.

"Beercan thirty thirteen descend and maintain one seven thousand."
"One four fourteen thousand Mainlineair one heavy."
"Uhm..."

We settled it diplomatically, eventually.

Ah, diplomacy. I should try that sometime. When I hear that happen I usually wind up sounding like a controller. "Mainline Heavy, that was for us, maintain previous clearance..."
