My brother's story.
They were flying into SFO many years ago in the Shorts 360 (you'd have to see the shorts 360 to get the joke)
Approach: United XXX, traffic is 10 o'clock, 3 miles, Shorts 360, report them in sight"
United XXX: Uhh...we had the traffic in sight a minute ago, but we lost them when they flew over the trailer park
My brother: Gee...thanks guys....

This one was second hand:
Captain goes to make his "Welcome aboard" announcement. Starts with the generic stuff and before he says any flight numbers or destinations, the FO points to the RTU where there's a big TX indicating he's making the announcement on ground. Without skipping a beat, CA finishes the entire announcement (still no flight number or destination) and gives a big "Thank you" for flying American Eagle.
Ground went nuts on the Eagle plane sitting next to them on the ramp telling them how they need to pay attention to their radios. They were adament that it wasn't them making the announcement...

It was quite bumpy this morning over the South East (round bout GSO or so). Apparently Washington Center got tired of folks complaining/asking for ride reports/ asking for higher or lower...etc. Female controller couldn't get a word in, next time there was a break in the action a loud male voice (obviously her assist) came over the frequency and said something to the effect of
"Attention all pilots on my frequency...The rides are bad from FL310 to FL 380. No I don't have higher and no I don't have lower. If you are between those altitudes, you are going to hate it, get over it. Stop asking for ride reports...here's your ride report...it sucks".
In an attempt to clear the frequency and get control of the situation all he did was get everyone keying up and laughing/saying ...."yeah man...you tell them", etc.
Poor female controller working with him was just laughing for the next few transmissions.
