When a woman says 5 minutes, think like 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter and both teams have all of their timeouts. — Ernesto (@ErnieP35) May 14, 2019

And it appears he stole that high-quality tweet from @KirlandJones, who has 727 followers. From May 5, 9 days before the tweet above:

When called out on the theft, @ErnieP35 blocked him:

Dude who stole my tweet blocked me, thanks man now you can't steal anymore of my thoughts. — Costco (@KirklandJones) May 16, 2019

According to Jones, the inspiration for the tweet was his girlfriend who had just delayed the celebration of Cinco de Mayo:

Uhh then you're a time traveler bro. I literally sat in my living room and typed it as I was waiting for my girl to get ready for Mexican food and margs on cinco. — Costco (@KirklandJones) May 16, 2019

Over to you, Jack. Certainly stealing a tweet is worse than a “learn to code” violation, right?
