KOSU, Ohio State Airport in Columbus. It's a Midwest, Inc. contract tower, adn most of the guys are pretty good, but there's one that toally sucks. For departures he demands on-course heading in degrees, a reply like "northwest" or "north to Delaware County" isn't good enough for him.
Arrivals are even better. A lot of the VFR population is local, so they use landmarks like resivoirs and highway intersecations for arrival reporting to separate traffic. If he calls out a fix and the arrival isn't familiar, he just gets bitchy and repeats himself, won't usually offer an explanation of what he wants. This results in a confused inbound transient who is to worried about finding a waypoint to look for traffic. What a genius..
