So, I had to call a cab company this morning so I could get to the train station and get up to Boston for my graduation ceremony. I called a few companies, and finally get through to a dude. I went outside to wait, the van pulls around the corner and I get in. So far, so good. Dude gets on the highway, not my first choice, but it's doable. After a few minutes, it becomes evident that we are not going to the train station. Meanwhile, both van dude's phone and my phone are blowing up all of a sudden. Evidently, a girl in the next apartment over from mine called for a car service at the exact same time that I had, and I stole her van man. What strikes me is the fact that my street is like three feet long. Seriously, what are the chances?! Anyway, my neighbor lady is freaking out and the other cab dude keeps calling and yelling at me. It's not even 6:15 am people. I finally get to the train, and some dude from match.com is sitting across from me. I get up and move. I literally cannot deal with that right now either.
Anyway. While this doesn't even come close to my strangest cab experiences (man playing a flute while driving me prob tops the list), it certainly was a great wtf to start my day.
