Oldbird, it wasn't a lady controller was it? They are real good at talking fast and then expecting you to come up in a micro-second. When you don't the transmit again as you are trying to answer and you block each other out. I listen to this for a minute or two between the controller and another flight, United, I think. Every time he would try to answer her she called him again and they blocked each other. Someone said "Blocked" and her response was "Don't say Blocked". So nobody did. Finally I keyed my mic and told her she needed to calm down, she was blocking everyone who tried to answer back. I confirmed my airline and flight number and said I planned on filing an incident report and, oh by the way "Airport insight." Never heard a work after she cleared us for the visual.
