Make up your mind

After my flight out of Hong Kong pushed off from the terminal, we stalled for about 15 minutes before the captain announced that we were returning to the gate. Apparently, one of the passengers changed his mind about going to San Francisco, so the plane returned to the gate and let him off.

Seriously? You can decide after pushing away from the gate that you don't want to be on the plane? And the plane will return to the gate to let you off, inconveniencing everyone else? I'd never heard of such a thing!

Then, we all had to confirm that our carry-on bags were indeed ours to the flight attendants as they walked through the cabin. We were delayed an hour because of this foolishness.

That doesn't seem... huh?? Who allows that?

I thought "changed my mind" fell under the general heading of "tough noogs." no?
