I switched to tower and told them I was holding and they said, in an annoyed voice, to taxi to parking.
I was with my CFI so we called the tower from the classroom and filed a NASA report.
Lucky for me this was in Asheville (KAVL) and they train controllers there too and it's all, basically, in one room so everyone knew we were coming in and there was only one other A/C sitting at the departure end holding short waiting on us. Super lucky. It sucks when you are so used to being told everything to do and having to argue with ATC about bogus turn instructions at 300' AGL that then when they forget it's still your fault.
We went back and listened to the ATC recordings and the regional carrier that landed before we took off asked the tower if they were cleared to land so I think we weren't the only pilots missing some calls.
