iPhone equipped passenger takes on flight crew over weather.
Lifted from Airliners.net, comes the amusing story about a passenger who disputed the captain's claim that storms in the area prevented take off.
Read about it here.
Whether it's true or not is another story.

We push back, get advised of a ground stop in MEM due to storms in the area. Go to the penalty box and wait.
