About a year ago, taxiing out in DFW, the controller gave altimeter setting that was about .15 off from ATIS. I asked to verify, and some smart a$$ said something along the lines of "welcome to airline flying". I've never seen altimeter setting move that fast in less than an hour. Nerves of some people....
