Worst thing that ever happened to me was my flight from Atlanta to Vegas was delayed by nearly an hour. I had a connecting flight in Vegas to Phoenix, and it was pretty clear to me as we landed in Vegas that I was going to miss my flight which should have taken off like ten minutes ago. As we were coming into the gate my name was called over the PA system, and I was called up front with my luggage - while the plane was still rolling. They told me that our gate was next to the gate of my departing flight, and that the moment they opened the door i was to go out, make a right, and right through the next gate.

I did this, got on my connecting flight, and the door was shut behind and the plane rolling before I sat down. I was impressed.
