Lets hear some stories about things you or someone you've heard slip up and press the trigger and transmit when you really shouldn't have.

In the military we had the call-signs "Banger". I always added an "H" after the "G" when the facility was slow at night and none of the important people were around. I wasnt even thinking and accidently said "Bang-Her" over the radio. I didnt think the pilot had caught it but the very next day I was doing a tape transcript.

When in the military (was meant) a pilot taxied without his playmate; he called me on ground as a flight of 2 but told him I only see yourself. He then asked me where his playmate was to which I replied,"I don't make the big bucks to decided who plays with you".

One time working local I cleared a Citation X for takeoff...he got 1/4 the way through the roll, and said he was aborting takeoff. I taxiied him back around to another runway and the sup told me to ask him the reason for aborted takeoff....so

Me: "N1234, say reason for abortion."
Pilot: "I had bad trim."

I was laughing so hard for the next couple minutes that I couldn't even work the rest of my planes without cracking up.

Not that I slipped up in saying this or anything, but I thought it was definately a funny communication between myself and the pilot.

Not a slip up, but 2 F15 squadrons had just got their own bird bath (trip the panel, spray the plane, wash the salt off) built. One of the squadrons were the Fighting C o c k s. We loved it when this one female controller would be in ground and a young "c o c k y" Lt. would say, "Kadena Ground, Razor11 flight of 2 request taxi to park via the C O C K Wash." She would say, in her most sexy voice possible.........."Raaaazor won won, Kaadeena Ground, taxi tooo thaaa C O C K Wash." That lasted all of a week before a female KC135 pilot overheard it and raised hell. Fun times.

This one is kinda X rated but figure everyone is adult enough.

SO in the military I was working with a guy he was on local and I was on ground. He was telling us how his night was last night with this girl. He had just gotten off the line with approach for an IFR release and didn't release the line properly.

Mic hot to the entire approach control room.... "And I F***ed her in the @ss and... oh shiT!" We all had commanders call the next morning.

lufthansa air stopped in the middle of taxiing... Ground control asked what the hold up was. Luthansa Air said they where missing a passenger... Unkown pilots says, "check the oven"

This one's not mine, but it's very funny, so I thought I'd share:

A colleague of mine was working the tower, and he accidentally pressed the foot pedal while looking through the binoculars. As he was lowering the binoculars view to look at his "middle leg" he shouted: "DAMN IT, MY C*CK IS SOOOO HUGE"
I don't have to tell you the look on his face when he realized the mic was on and he was transmitting.

And another thing that happened recently in the Area Control Center here in Skopje. There's a company called Mediterranean Air Freight whose ICAO code is MDF and callsign is Medfreight.
However, when we coordinate internally between sectors, we call him Madafa*ka (the three letter ICAO designator) and one time, a controller presses the mic and goes: Madafa*ka 123, climb FL.....mmmmmmmm correction, Medfreight 123......" the entire room was cracking, we couldn't work for the next 10 minutes or so

cheers

Different perspective on this one. I was flying short final in a 172 with a 152 taking a sunday stroll off the runway. Controller was telling him to get off the runway and was telling me to do a go around because it was so close. When I finally taxied off the runway he was like Cessna 1234 Call tower when you get out. I freaked out thinking what I did wrong but couldn't think of anything. Turns out he was screaming at me on ground freq. to do a go around...
