I ageee, that airspace around IAD has been really hectic lately. I got a groundhold in CHO for an hour on my way to IAD on a clear and a million day. I wouldn't pick a fight in the air either. Everytime i've had a problem with a controller, I just noted the time, date, and location and gave them a call afterwards. I had the same type of problems with Socal appr sometimes. In their defense, they are working a tons of IFR arrivals and departures, so when they get to a VFR aircraft, I can see how they would just start to move them around like an IFR one without even thinking about it. Who knows, give them a ring and see what happens!
