Next time that happens ask for progressive taxi instructions.

I've done that several times at larger airports when I wasn't sure where the GA terminal or a particular FBO was at on the field. I think they'd rather have you ask than head off on your own without a clue.Next time that happens ask for progressive taxi instructions. HA HA HA that should really cause the controller to flip out!

Controller:
“Taxi to 10L, Tango to Bravo 5, then Bravo to Bravo 7, Tango, Echo 3 to Echo.” Hey guys, come over here. This guy just said “roger” to my taxi clearance, and I doubt he understood anything more than 10L. Betcha a 10-spot he’ll screw it up. His first clue will be when he comes to face-to-face with the 747 eastbound on Tango. I love my job for its entertainment value.
Controllers don’t say “ hey guys, come over here”. If they’re in a tower, they’re already there.
Is she a controller?
