Why does nobody talk about how long a simple flat tire can really take?

Had a blowout on the I-5 near Tacoma yesterday, and what I thought would be a 30-minute swap with my spare turned into a 3-hour ordeal. The lug nuts were rusted solid, and my cheap tire iron just bent. Ended up calling a tow to a nearby shop to get it broken loose. Has anyone else had a simple roadside fix turn into a half-day project?

Seems like everyone talks about it, actually.

Keep a can of penetrating oil in your trunk now. Sprayed it on the lugs, waited a few minutes, and they came right off. Saved me last time.
