Yes! It is time to move on from this dopey crap.
Trouble is, I have not ran across anything lately with the general public that qualifies for TOTD. I still have my vision and hearing. What has happened?

I nominate a (UAL?) ramper night before yesterday on the Newark employee Lot F bus. They run every 10 minutes, and pull out of 'A' on every :00, :10, 20, 30, 40, 50 past the hour. This one was the :50 one. She goes "are you leaving now?" to the driver. Driver says he will at :50. Her response: "It was :50, 40 seconds ago."

I'd like to see whose clock is synchronized to what source. Calling a driver out for seconds is pretty low, IMO. They're taking you to the employee lot and you'll be there in under 10 minutes. And especially not cool considering it was 1:50am.

The driver should have said: “We’re running early tonight. This is the 2:50 bus.”

There but for the grace of God go I.

Or: Them that have; them that will.

Bad form.
