I landed at LAX 6 minutes late, was 50 feet from the gate 15 minutes later and then... 15 minutes later we got off the plane.

I can't imagine how my blood would have been boiling if I were connecting. We had to wait between runways for planes to go by, then had to wait for a gate to open up, then had to wait for a tow, then had to wait 5 minutes for them to open the door.
