I've had plently of flights where my initial clearance didn't even
remotely
resemble what I filed, and what I actually ended up flying didn't exactly
match the initial clearance. ATC has a interesting habit of dynamically
re-routing you based on traffic, weather, and how nice they're feeling
that
day.


Traffic and weather are pretty good reasons for rerouting, moods are not.



Flexibility is certainly a key element of IFR flight (as is not
accepting a clearance that you're not comfortable with).


Sometimes you have to choose between being a bit uncomfortable and not
making the flight.
