After sitting in line on the ground in Ohare for over an hour, we were finally like #5 for takeoff. An AE ERJ was 3 in front of us.
Twr: AEagle XXX, your next for takeoff, taxi up and hold short.
AEagle: Uh we need another 2 miniutes.
Tower: By the time you take off, it will be 2 minuites.
AEagle: (in a cocky voice) Not by our watch, we will only have 1:15 secs.
Twr: Ok, do you see that big open space to your right?
AEagle: Uh, yes
Twr: Go ahead and taxi over there for me, youre now #34 for takeoff
AEagle: Nevermind, we dont need the 2 miniutes anymore
Twr: United XX, cleared for TO as soon as the eagle erj gets out of your way.
I was throwin tears like a sprinkler system laughing so hard after that.
