So, now the OTHER plane is broken

From Minneapolis, we loaded on a NorthWest Canadair business jet, only to find out that the starter for one of the engines was busted. No takeoff, no AC until it's fixed. Ultimately they kicked us off the bird to wait. Then they fixed it,(kinda), ok, back on the plane. NOW the tractor that was supposed to back us out of the gate, is broken and it'll be 10 non-AC minutes until another one will arrive. THEN we took off without an APU,(auxilliary power unit) so it was crazy hot until we were at altitude. Good thing I became acclimatized in Egypt. Is there a conspiracy involving some competing kids music travel show?
