Narrative:

Just as I stopped the aircraft, a line attendant came out of the terminal. He appeared to be quite agitated. He expressed annoyance that, in his words, he 'would have to move the aircraft.' I apologized and explained that I was just picking up the passenger who was right here, and that I would be leaving promptly. During my stay at the FBO, I did not leave the airplane. I vacated the ramp and taxied back for departure within 5 mins.
