Laundry, missing meals, cabs, and sometimes hotel rooms. I’m amazed that pilots wait for transportation that’s not there, or call the provider. That’s not required, and my goal is to get to crew rest ASAP. Also, it the meals are missing or incomplete I expense a reasonable substitute. Laundry tends to be expensive at hotels, but that’s something the company can negotiate if they wanted too so I don’t sweat it.
I think it happens quite often but most pilots just take tolerate it.
