Sort of along the same line as the moderate turbulance on Taxiway W...

Back in the mid '90s, the RNO airport was undergoing a major construction project, with the ruways and taxiways being re-surfaced, etc. Once during taxi, the aircraft ahead of us (we were taxiing all the way down to Rwy 34 for departure) radioed ground and said: "Ground, this is XXX flt XXX....we'd like to report a smooth spot on Taxiway Alpha".

A couple of months ago in CLT an Abex DC-9 (I think) took off 18R and reported monderate turbulence on the runway. I asked the tower after she handed him off if he was serious. The controller had no idea. My guess it was the potholes on the runway.
