You know it does just happens sometimes. I had a situation once on the Dash where we were cleared an immediate takeoff so we started the takeoff straight from the line-up. In the mean time an A320 on final approach obviously got a little nervous and commenced a missed approach. We were then told to stop the take-off run, we did a low speed reject, taxied off and lined up again. Next time around we powered up only for the config horn to go off so had a second low speed reject. We checked everything by jiggling all the handles that needed to be set for the takeoff config. 3rd time was a charm, on the next departure we had a repeat of the takeoff config and it turned out to be a faulty flap sensor.
So it is certainly possible and no doubt made us look like real dickheads to the passengers. Sometimes though this sh*t just happens, and you get the feeling no matter how you explain it on the PA there will always be a doubting element in the cabin.
