C182 PLT IS REBUKED BY OWD LCL CTLR WHEN DELAYING EXIT FROM LNDG WHILE AWAITING FURTHER ATC INSTRUCTIONS.

Narrative

I WAS FLYING ON AN IFR FLT PLAN FROM BANGOR; MAINE; TO OWD IN VFR CONDITIONS. I WAS CLRED TO LAND ON RWY 17. I LANDED AND ROLLED OUT JUST PAST AN EXIT AND WAITED AND WAITED FOR TAXI INSTRUCTIONS TO EXIT THE RWY. THE INSTRUCTIONS NEVER CAME AFTER MUCH DELAY. I THEN MADE A SHALLOW S-TURN; UNSURE OF WHERE TO GO. THE CTLR THEN YELLED AT ME; 'NEVER TO TURN AROUND ON AN ACTIVE RWY.' WHEN THE YELLING STARTED; I WAS ONLY IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING AN 'S' TYPE TURN AND NOT MAKING A 180 DEG TURN. CONTRIBUTING TO THIS WAS MY ERROR IN NOT MAKING THE JUDGEMENT TO ASK FOR INSTRUCTIONS. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE A CTLR HAS NOT PROVIDED PROMPT INSTRUCTIONS TO TURN OFF THE ACTIVE RWY. I FEEL THAT THE CTLR WAITED ON PURPOSE IN SILENCE TO SEE HOW I WOULD REACT TO THE SILENCE AND THEN PROCEED TO GET VERY UPSET. AS WELL; THERE WAS NO OTHER AIR TFC OR GND TFC; THEREFORE THE CTLR'S SILENCE CAN NOT BE BLAMED ON BEING BUSY. THE REASON I DID NOT ASK THE CTLR FOR INSTRUCTIONS WAS FEAR ON MY PART. FROM FIRST CONTACT WITH THIS CTLR; THE CTLR WAS RUDE AND VERY ABRUPT. IN FACT; THE CTLR'S VOICE WAS FILLED WITH HATE FROM THE VERY FIRST RADIO CALL. THE REPUTATION OF THE CTLRS AT OWD IS WELL KNOWN TO MANY IN THE AREA AND I WAS WARNED ABOUT THEIR RUDENESS AND ABRUPTNESS BY A LOCAL PLT FRIEND FROM BOSTON. THIS BAD ATTITUDE MAKES VISITING PLTS NOT WANTING TO ASK FOR HELP OR CLARIFICATION. OVERALL; I FEEL THAT THIS CTLR IN GENERAL IS NOT HELPFUL AND IS WAITING FOR PLTS TO MAKE MISTAKES. THIS PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE ATTITUDE IS NOT CONDUCIVE TO SAFETY.
