Story highlights Passengers on an easyJet flight were treated to strange and inconvenient workplace drama

The carrier apologized for the incident

(CNN) A disagreement between two crew members baffled a plane full of easyJet passengers and caused the entire flight to be delayed for more than an hour. You may now unfasten your seatbelts, the level of petty has reached 30,000 feet.

The strange encounter was live-tweeted by British TV presenter Dan Lobb , who, even as he reported from tarmac of the London Gatwick airport, seemed like he could barely believe his eyes.

According to Lobb, crew members were removed from the flight, then other crew members had a furtive cockpit powow, and an aggrieved captain tried to put on a brave face for the passengers even as the delay time crept toward an hour.

"Ok...if we continue this tiff then the passengers will suffer. If we leave it then they won't suffer at all........sod 'em, let's continue" — Dan Lobb (@danlobb) August 24, 2016

To be clear, according to Lobb, the reason for the shuffle wasn't related to anything physical or even particularly interesting. The crew members just straight up didn't like each other.

As it happens, the band Disclosure was also on the flight on their way to play a gig in Belfast. They tweeted their displeasure with the delay.
