A cab for -me-, please.

skreidleAt about 5:25, I called Yellow Cab (or Red Top, not actually sure, but anyway) and was told "30-35 minutes" as ETA.
Just now, 50-55min later, I called back and was told that the driver had made a pickup already. Well, it wasn't me, nor anyone at my phone number or with my name. Grrr. (He said he'd call dispatch to make sure a cab was sent now.)
It's fortunate that the LIRR runs all night. :P However, I'm still 15min from Metro, 45min from there to Union Station, a 5-10min walk to the Greyhound terminal, and a 4-5 hour bus ride from Port Authority whenever I actually leave the terminal. (And then, a 10-minute walk to Penn Station, where I'll meet Melody--sometime after midnight or 1, at this rate. :P
Update, 7pm: No, seriously, I'm never using this damn company again. At about 6:55 I called again--90minutes after I first called--and was given an ETA of 10 minutes. WTF?
