What's up with the 1* heading bug monitors? I can understand if it's off by a bunch, but really? One Degree? I'm OK with it somewhere around 5-10 degrees either side or so, but every 60 miles, "click." It's got to be the ultimate demonstration of analness.

Five bucks says he's still thinking about it when it's time to land.

These guys aren't tools, but just a pet peeve of mine...
Since we're talking about heading bugs, why do some people insist on leaving the bug 1 or 2 degrees off the assigned heading? It's just as easy to fly 040 as it is to fly 041...
