Cab

Simply awful.
My 4am cab to the O’Hare never showed up. I called dispatch and they said they never had reservations.
I should’ve followed my instincts the day before and went with another cab company — I could hear the reservationist goofing off with another person in the background.
Dispatch assured me that I’d make my flight. Really? There’s a reason why I wanted the cab at 4am. Have you ever traveled with a pet and a parent with mobility issues? If we miss our flight, my cat will definitely pee in his carrier at some point during our travel.
An old guy finally showed up at my door. Poor guy was probably woken up for us. He was wheezing so hard I thought he needed an oxygen tank. Or that he was going to have a heart attack. He threw my cat into the trunk and in all fairness, it was still dark outside and he probably didn’t see. I almost went off on him but I didn’t want to give him a heart attack.
Driver was not that great — almost blew a stop sign and wanted to take a longer route to O’Hare. Really? After what I’ve already been through?
And then in making small talk, he asks one that’s my biggest pet peeve: «So what country are you from?» I’m a f-​ing American you a-​hole! Just f-​ing drive.
We barely made our flight because of these clowns. United was literally holding the plane for us as we raced to the gate.
The nice thing is that they did comp our cab ride and the morning dispatch tried everything he could to make the situation right. Still, I can’t trust this place again for my transportation needs.
