Next time, ask them if they have adjusted for daylight savings time (or taken it off -- let's see, you fall back, right?) That will confuse them sufficiently for you to proceed calmly on your way...
We should think of other useful responses for you. Let's see. How about
1. Have you considered daylight savings time? 2. Due to your racing to the library this morning, your watch has run faster compared to the rest of us. Please study general relativity and explain this phenomenon in 2,000 words. 3. Actually, the librarians come in and hold a Black Sabbath every morning before opening the doors. Hurrying them may result in curses. You should wait for them to finish killing today's student before rushing in. 4. Didn't you get the memo? The new library hours start at 10 pm. 5. Aha! Just because your mother set your watch ahead so that you wouldn't be late all the time, doesn't mean that the rest of us have to match it. 6. Are you sure? Just because Mickey is scratching his left ear doesn't mean it's that late, maybe he had a hard night?
That's probably more than enough. I suppose I should get some tea...
