Of course it was United lol.
Had a similar thing happen to me and my family on a United flight two years ago.
First after closing procedure were being done, the workers at the gate let a person through and they opened the plane door for them. The flight attendant was so pissed as now they had to redo every step from the beginning.
THEN we got told there was a broken part of the plane and we had to wait to see if they could get it fixed. After an hour waiting we got told we could go back to the airport to buy stuff or go to the bathroom.
When everyone got back, they started the pre-flight stuff again until a person walked up and said they walked onto the wrong plane. My flight attended just looked in shock and let them leave. Then tried to hid his frustration when announcing that anyone else who thinks they are in the wrong plane should speak now.
Another hour and then we got told it got fixed. The flight then began 4 hours late on a trip that was originally only going to be 4 hours.
