Anyone else had clearance such as this? (I'm not quite comfortable

Yup.

I also had a controller tell me that my comms were "unnecessary" one
night and he would call me back if he wanted me to change what I was
doing. Conditions were so calm, I was landing, rolling out, pulling a
"U" turn, and departing in the opposite direction. G

Since I was the only one even thinking about being in his airspace, I
didn't see a big deal.
