I got stuck in major traffic. I left an extra 45 mins/hour earlier than normal so I'd get to the wedding in plenty of time. What normally takes me 2 mins took 30 mins. I ended up getting off the freeway and took county roads and still ended up 30 mins late. Then during the reception one of the female guests had one of those silicon boob enhancers pop out during the dancing. It was pretty funny.

Ok, here's mine.
I shot a saturday wedding which went ok. On sunday I had scheduled a studio shoot at 12. My studio is 45 km from where I live ( approx. 20 miles- correct me if I'm wrong ). So I decided to give myself a 1 hour to prepare. When I arrived it turnes up that the new owner of this building just replaced the whole front ( yesterday to be exact ) including doors and locks. My brother runs my studio on weekdays, but he didn't check sunday's schedule and simply didn't give me new keys. So- long story short- 45 km back, then another 45 km, and there I was 20 min late for a session. Lucky for me everybody was late this sunday so I was just in time.
Isn't Sunday supposed to be a day off? There must be a good reason for that

Yepp. It isn't wedding related though.
I was photographing as a spectator at a horse show, waiting for my horse to go into the ring, so I was photographing other riders to practice a little before mine went in. Well some official came up to me and said that I was in the official photographers way and she felt I was being disrespectful to her by being there.
I politely apologized to the photographer and moved about 150ft down the ring and continued to wait for my horse. Not ten minutes later the photographer stormed up to me, spit on my face, and called me a fat, ugly, offing cow, and told me I was not welcome there.
The show officials did absolutely nothing, basically said, oopsie, sorry she assaulted you! The situation escalated and ended with the photographer packing up and leaving before the end of the day.

Lost one of the bride's ring this weekend during ring shots (reception) and started running around saying "f we're dead f we're dead f we're dead!" for about 2 minutes and luckily our assistant found it next to the camera.
Speaking of major traffic, we had a wedding at the Baltimore 4 Seasons this weekend and the entire day we heard nothing but F1 cars racing through the streets for the Grand Prix racing. Did anyone go to see it

Alex is right, I know Grosjean got pretty airborne but I don't think he flew all the way to Maryland.

Shot two weddings this weekend. Fave story is Saturday's wedding, FOB is all teared up getting ready to walk bride down the aisle, she really has to comfort him and scolds him for crying.
We're booked until 11 p.m. FOB, and another daughter/Maid of Honor who also gave a toast, leave at 9:30 p.m. I've been doing weddings since 2002, never seen that from a parent (and sister) who seemingly were so close.

Wow talk about unacceptable. This kind of thing should all but ensure the offender never gets photography work again. Make their behavior known.
As for me, I brought my girlfriend to meet my grand parents in Anderson Indiana, where she outfished me by quite a bit!
I absolutely made the behavior known via Facebook and social media. Not to mention there were 6 separate issues like this one with other people as well. It was insane.
I don't get it.
