Plane refueling
I'm on a flight from NM to Texas and the pilot says the single point refueling system is not working so they have to fill up the tanks the old fashion way- one wing at a time.
Then we find out they put too much fuel in, so we are overweight. Now they have to remove fuel.
Lastly, they checked the numbers again and we were still overweight so we had to wait for three volunteers to leave the plane so we could take off.
This is a first for me. I am glad they did their math right otherwise we would be kissing one of those mountains in NM.
