My CO flight early Monday was delayed because it had too much fuel. At first they announced at least a 45 minute delay, and they were offloading luggage (most people would have missed their IAH connection); but then they quickly reloaded everybody and got out about 25 minutes late after fuel had been siphoned off.

The aircraft was originally scheduled to fly to Newark, then was swapped for another the night before, and when the pilots boarded in the morning for the intra-Texan flight they said they couldn't leave with that much fuel onboard for the half-hour flight.
