Grand total of three.

MD80 into HSV, late at night in bad weather. Pilot made the prudent decision.

777 into DFW, from NRT I think. Pilot said someone got confused on the runway ahead of us, didn't make the taxiway exit.

A321 I think, into CLT, from MCO most likely. Similar story.

I take them in stride. Having spent a lot of time playing in a 737 simulator, I've gotten a fair amount of practice at them. My instructors for a while were very fond of setting me up to have an airplane take the runway for takeoff RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, to the point that I've gotten into the habit of looking up and down the runway and checking both hold-short points. (I was really annoyed about one of them, as it loused up an absolutely BEAUTIFUL final approach.)
