Anyway so there was this one lady (in F) who was kind of losing it the whole time and trying to pull a DYKWIA in really strange ways. Like, asking why they aren't prioritizing first class customers for announcing information. I'm not even sure what that means (did she want them to build a soundproof room?)

So, of course, she missed the 6 announcements that we had to check in again. When we went to board her bp would not scan -- they told her that she had to check in again. She refused. There was no line... it would have taken less than 30 seconds to check in. She wanted to argue with the gate agent instead. I was behind her in line, so another gate agent called me over when it was clear that she was intent on arguing. My buddy boarded a little later in economy and said she was still arguing. She never got on the plane.

Interesting place to draw a line in the sand... wait out a 5.5 hr delay and then refuse to get on the plane because you don't want to talk to a GA to check you in.
I don't think her behavior is abnormal. People hate delays, waiting, with no information (obviously they didn't tell you initially it will be 5.5h, but told you bit by bit, stringing you along). Sometimes their patience/tolerance just isn't there anymore.
