I've scheduled my booking so that I would have 5 hours time to make that connection. If there is going to be lengthy delays like yours, I would be peeved. (And once I'm over being peeved, I may be resigned that it just wasn't meant to be)

But I can certainly understand how frustrating it probably was for you.
