I fly into Philly at 0500 every Monday and 9 out of 10 times the controller is this chick who is mean, rude, and makes you wanna land, drive to the TRACON and kick her in her face.
She is generally only working 3 to 4 planes and seems agitated and overworked doing it. She often pesters inbound FedEx jets if they have the field in sight or not - she seriously seems angry when they don't have the field - as if lining them up for an approach would take up too much of her precious time.
I also once had a tower controller at Philly ask ME about the airport SOP. I had asked for a specific runway to takeoff from, and she told me she was new, and asked if the other guys usually let me depart that runway.
