When congestion isn't the real problem...

Here is my recollection of a conversation heard on 128.25 last Saturday:

Aircraft on Approach: Get off the runway I am landing.

Aircraft on Runway: Maybe you should go around if I am not fast enough for you.

Aircraft on Approach: I can't, I have a terrible crosswind, I am in trouble, I am in a 180.

Aircraft on Runway: ...Maybe you shouldn't be flying a 180.
