Here is a funny episode with a JFK ground controller and numerous
aircraft taxiing on the ground.

Coincidentally I was listening to JFK Clearance Delevery/Ground last night.
The controller was one of the rudest I have ever heard, not so much in words
although there was some of that; but by the tone of his voice.

That isn't rude, that is just a typical NYC accent! :-)

I think that the controller should be commended, he kept his cool,
didn't bite any ones head off, joked a bit, and even invited the
pilots to come into the cab and enjoy the fun. I think he did a great
job.

That was my reaction as well. If the poster above really felt this was
the rudest controller they have ever heard, then I can only conclude
that they have heard very few controllers. I've heard many that were a
LOT more rude than this controller and with MUCH less reason to be rude.
This guy clearly had his plate full and I thought he did an excellent job.
