My biggest complaint was that there was no in-flight service and no bathroom usage during the flight from EWR-LGA.
Had a similar experience at SFO when we landed in Oakland. Frustrating part was that my meeting was closer to Oakland and arrived very late after waiting for the fog to clear, flying across the bay & then driving back.
