* HypocriteHasAPoint: In ''Theodor The TattleTug'', Theodore notices that George's towrope is too long, when tied to Brunswick. He goes to tell the Dispatcher, hoping that he'll be praised for alerting him to a safety hazard. Theodore says that Brunswick could get hurt, only for George to show up and angrily state that Brunswick DID get hurt, which wouldn't have happened if Theodore had just told George instead of tattling on him to the dispatcher. However, it also wouldn't have happened if George had tied his tow rope properly in the first place.

However, Theodore can't really do anything on his day off except stay in his dock. He can't go anywhere he wants or listen to stories from his friends (not even Donald Dock, especially given his limited vocabulary). Theodore also misses out on pulling in a visiting ship from China and even working with Barrington the barge. All of his friends are too tired from doing his work as well as their own, which leads to the evening storytelling being cancelled.
