Planes, Trains and Automobiles
My high school Science Olympiad team (oh yes, I went to nerd school) ran into some weather trouble flying to the nationals in Michigan. We circled in the air until we had to go to Nebraska and refuel, and ended up stuck in Minneapolis for the night. The airline (Northwest) didn't give us any kind of hotel or food vouchers, just a pile of blankets. We all spent the night sleeping on the floor of the observation lounge, which was fine until some sketchy lumberjack-type guy came in and joined us in the middle of the night.
I remember illegally buying my first (and I think also last) lottery ticket from a machine in the airport. My friends and I thought it would be funny to buy the weather-themed ones. Nobody was surprised when we all lost.
