Mechanical delays!

My lovely wife is currently in the midst of her own travel adventure to Virginia.  She had an interesting time where they boarded the plane, then approached her and asked her to deboard as there was an issue.  They brought her completly off the plane, then finally told her that there was a group of unaccompanied minors that they were trying to seat together and were moving my wife.  FROM HER ISLE ROW TO A CENTER ROW FOR A 3 HOUR FLIGHT.  Needless to say, she was displeased.  This created a delay for the flight.  Which got me thinking about my various previous delays.....

I had posted this about a year ago to my FB account.....the joys of travel.

Crazy day at the airport. Mechanical delays. They had us board. Then deplane. Then line up at the next gate. Then sit and wait. Now we are lined up at original gate to reboard the original plane. — at Kansas City International Airport.

What are some of the creative delays that you've experienced?   I've heard of flights being delayed due to the lavatory light being burnt out!

Classy California

Just watched a person kick a layer of sand over their dog's business. Heaven forbid using one of the countless doggy duty stations. If u aren't going to clean up after your pet, don't buy one. Stay classy California!

I'm rich and fly discount airlines!

In light of today's tragic shooting, here is a travel story from lax to hopefully brighten the mood.....a dude is holding court with his 4 travel companions talking loudly of how much better he is than his ex. So far he's mentioned how he vacations a couple times a year in Hawaii, how he just bought new 4 wheelers for he and his daughter, how his ex is always hitting him up for extra $, and he's dreading the pending "back to school shopping" request he is sure to be coming. Not that he minds cuz the $ isn't an issue, he is just annoyed. My observation: you are flying southwest buddy. Get over yourself! — at Los Angeles International Airport.
