I am not sure if it is TOTD thread worthy, but the American pilot coming into Anchorage who kept pestering approach for a short approach. Finally approach came back and said it would be a 10 mile final. The pilot said that we would have done a two mile final.

" I can keep it real tight for you." Actual quote.

IF it was done intentionally, indeed TOTD. However, some of those alarm clocks are like rocket science for some people. If I'm not sure how to set/turn it off, I just unplug the damn thing....for my sanity as well as a courtesy for the next guest!

Why do we need something that wasn't invented here?

Either way, 1 of us gets the award for today.
I nominate anyone who says "roller board".

EDIT:
Wait, did you mean this?

Nominate the guy who called into ops today requesting additional "POT-able" water. It's potable- pronounced "poht-able". There's a big difference.

All water is capable of being put into a pot. But only some water is actually potable.

I don't care what it's called, you drink it you die...... The fresh water tank and the potty tank have the same part #.

That's what gives the coffee that special twang.
