I disagree. "Kettle" behavior is caused by ignorance. The purposeful delays discussed above are people sticking up for their rights. They're done with significant knowledge, not ignorance. Whether or not that's a good use of delayer's time, and how much it irritates other people in line, are separate topics for criticism. But it's not kettle-ish.
