The state of shattered hopes and carnal frustration which exists when a pilot has passengers board a plane, leaves the gate, and taxis to the runway only to tell everyone that the flight is delayed and you're returning to the terminal.
Just when we thought we were about to leave the airport, the pilot came on the loudspeaker and told everyone that we were heading back to the gate for 3 more hours. What a cockpit tease.
