I agree. This happened to the OP because they chose to fly with a less-than-no-frills airline. It's a gamble at best. Just as I would never fly standby if I needed to get to a destination on-time, I would never fly Spirit if I wasn't willing to toss the ticket in the trash if something like this happened and re-book.
You get the service you pay for.
