Narrative:

I landed on the active runway which was runway 1 as per the ATIS. I exited runway 1 at G3, reported to ground control and was told to taxi to and hold short of runway 32. I was flying a piper cherokee and another cherokee landed on runway 32 and exited at D1. After several mins, ground control told me to turn left and to taxi on runway 32. As I did, the controller starts yelling at me what am I doing? I am now on the runway asking him/her for further directions. I believe that the controller mistakenly directed me instead of the other cherokee who he/she intended to have turn left on taxiway D. I had been told to follow a cessna (I did not see one). I believe the cessna in question had been taxiing on taxiway D and the other cherokee is who ground control intended to have follow the cessna. The situation was breaking down where the controller was screaming orders at me, which in turn was causing me to become more tense, and I did begin to panic. I managed to exit the runway and under the controller's directions, taxied back to my tie-down area. In a conversation with the controller (on the phone) he/she said there was no loss of separation. In reflecting on the situation I think I could have questioned the controller before moving. I know the controller's job is difficult, but he/she could have kept the situation calm by not screaming at the pilot (me). I could have helped by not taking the controller's word as gospel. I am glad there was no injury or damage to anything, and I hope this report will help to prevent similar incidents.

Title: STUDENT PLT INADVERTENTLY ENTERS ACTIVE RWY AND THEN IS YELLED AT BY ATC.

Narrative: I LANDED ON THE ACTIVE RWY WHICH WAS RWY 1 AS PER THE ATIS. I EXITED RWY 1 AT G3, RPTED TO GND CTL AND WAS TOLD TO TAXI TO AND HOLD SHORT OF RWY 32. I WAS FLYING A PIPER CHEROKEE AND ANOTHER CHEROKEE LANDED ON RWY 32 AND EXITED AT D1. AFTER SEVERAL MINS, GND CTL TOLD ME TO TURN L AND TO TAXI ON RWY 32. AS I DID, THE CTLR STARTS YELLING AT ME WHAT AM I DOING? I AM NOW ON THE RWY ASKING HIM/HER FOR FURTHER DIRECTIONS. I BELIEVE THAT THE CTLR MISTAKENLY DIRECTED ME INSTEAD OF THE OTHER CHEROKEE WHO HE/SHE INTENDED TO HAVE TURN L ON TXWY D. I HAD BEEN TOLD TO FOLLOW A CESSNA (I DID NOT SEE ONE). I BELIEVE THE CESSNA IN QUESTION HAD BEEN TAXIING ON TXWY D AND THE OTHER CHEROKEE IS WHO GND CTL INTENDED TO HAVE FOLLOW THE CESSNA. THE SIT WAS BREAKING DOWN WHERE THE CTLR WAS SCREAMING ORDERS AT ME, WHICH IN TURN WAS CAUSING ME TO BECOME MORE TENSE, AND I DID BEGIN TO PANIC. I MANAGED TO EXIT THE RWY AND UNDER THE CTLR'S DIRECTIONS, TAXIED BACK TO MY TIE-DOWN AREA. IN A CONVERSATION WITH THE CTLR (ON THE PHONE) HE/SHE SAID THERE WAS NO LOSS OF SEPARATION. IN REFLECTING ON THE SIT I THINK I COULD HAVE QUESTIONED THE CTLR BEFORE MOVING. I KNOW THE CTLR'S JOB IS DIFFICULT, BUT HE/SHE COULD HAVE KEPT THE SIT CALM BY NOT SCREAMING AT THE PLT (ME). I COULD HAVE HELPED BY NOT TAKING THE CTLR'S WORD AS GOSPEL. I AM GLAD THERE WAS NO INJURY OR DAMAGE TO ANYTHING, AND I HOPE THIS RPT WILL HELP TO PREVENT SIMILAR INCIDENTS.
