Thanks to our wonderful FA's of unspecified origin (and pilots that wouldn't push the issue), the FA's wouldn't touch the door, so we then taxiied back to the ramp with both engines still running so mx could come out with a lift truck to jiggle the door handle. That took another 30 minutes. Absolutely embarrassing.

Oh, since we were so late, we rolled around ATL for 25 minutes waiting for a gate still... of course with all engines running. The only thing keeping me sane was the fact that I was making $1.66 a minute for their stupidity. Unfortunately all the pax around me didn't have the same motivation.

There is common sense and then there is a complete lack of it.
