Legacy airline: "ramp, pushed of (insert gate), ready to taxi"
Ramp: "follow the third RJ to (insert spot) and call ground"
Legacy airline: "Say again how many little guys we're supposed to follow?"
Unknown transmitter: "That's what happens when you have little scope, too many little guys"
Silence...........

On a ramp frequency one day, years ago;
Legacy airline: "ramp, pushed of (insert gate), ready to taxi"
Ramp: "follow the third RJ to (insert spot) and call ground"
Legacy airline: "Say again how many little guys we're supposed to follow?"
Unknown transmitter: "That's what happens when you have little scope, too many little guys"
Silence...........

Then my Captain proceeds to transition to the now open gate without turning on any lights for taxi, I almost felt it coming "hey RJ driver you're supposed to have your lights on when moving on the ramp!!!"
I kept quiet and thought the whole back and forth between the two was just unnecessary but then again I'm just the hired help.

Priceless. So I'm on the ramp in ATL one evening after having just landed and we're holding short of the center roadway for traffic just pushed off our gate. Ramp lines up an opposite direction Mad Dawg with us and he sits there with his taxi lights on. So my Captain turns on his lights(nose and recogs) in quiet retaliation I assume. Mad dawg proceeds to turn his lights off (in quiet indignation I assume).
Then my Captain proceeds to transition to the now open gate without turning on any lights for taxi, I almost felt it coming "hey RJ driver you're supposed to have your lights on when moving on the ramp!!!"

The ORF Baggage Throwers who don't know what a Deadhead tag is. 5 out of 6 guys gave me the blank stare when I had to go retrieve it. "A what...?" Only one had a clue, and at least I got a "Sorry, dude" look from him. Thanks for almost sending it to baggage claim... I guess it could have been worse.
