Today, I called a cab to get me and my cat home from the vet. After a 40 minute wait and three calls to the taxi company, the operator told me that the driver she sent to my location just confirmed that he already has a woman with my name and a cat in his car. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to take my cat to the vet. On the way there, he managed to get out of his cage, climb into the front seat, onto my chest, and howl in my face as I tried to drive down the highway. I ended up with stitches and still got charged for missing my cat's appointment. FML
Today, I was late to work because I missed my Lyft… while it was literally in front of me. Why? I was busy telling my cat that she’s a princess and giving her goodbye pets. I looked up, and the driver was already peeling out. FML
Today, I woke up, got dressed, and left for the 1 hour drive to the nearest vet. When I arrived, I realized that I left my cat in its carrier on my kitchen counter. FML
Today, a cab driver had to sign me out of the emergency room because I didn't know who else to call. FML
Today, my taxi driver kept falling asleep and swerving off the road, so I asked him if he was okay. He stopped and burst out sobbing about the long hours he had to do after his divorce, and his wife taking all he had. Long story short, I ended up driving him home and getting another taxi from his place. FML
Today, at the end of a 15 hour shift, my girlfriend and her friends played a "prank" on me by texting me from a random number saying my cat got hit by a car. I immediately burst into tears and lost it in front of my colleagues. My cat is fine. My relationship is the real joke. FML
Today, I took a cab ride home from a bar. After a few minutes of horrible driving, I felt sick. The cab driver got so mad she locked me in the car and started driving me to the cops unless I payed her extra. Basically, I paid $120 for a five-minute cab ride. FML
Today, I rode in the cab on the way back to my dorm from the airport. The taxi driver was on the phone and not really paying attention. I paid him and got out of the cab, but he drove away before I could get my luggage out of the trunk. FML
Today, I took my cat to the vet for a regular check-up. In the waiting room, she escaped from her carrier and created chaos, knocking over supplies, and hissing at everyone. FML
Today, I took a taxi to my hotel. I specifically said that my destination was the Hilton resort. He took me to a bed and breakfast across town. When I finally got to my hotel, I cursed him out and didn't give him a tip. I then realized I'd left my phone in the taxi after he left. FML

Were you making this call from the backseat of a cab perhaps?

Did you not see the taxi when it arrived at the vets?

Maybe OP doesn't have a phone and stepped back inside to call and someone stole their cab. our Maybe the Cabbie is lying.

Either they are lying and haven't picked anyone up or just by coincidence they have a cat and the same name as you, either way FYL. Lets just hope the vet visit wasn't super important

The visit to the vet already happened. OP was trying to get home from the vet.

If OP only gave her first name and it was something quite common, it doesn't seem that extraordinary that there could have been other women with cats and the same name leaving the vet. Or, another likely scenario: another woman leaves the vet with her cat, she sees a taxi there. She opens the door, driver asks if this is [OP's name], the other woman claims that she is OP, she gets OP's taxi.

I think number 4 meant she hopes the vet visit wasn't super important such as the cat is very sick and needs medication, asap, etc.

OH I see where I messed up, I'm dyslexic so I thought it said for the vet, anyways thanks for not downvoting me to oblivion

I know exactly what happened. you were making this call from the past. or maybe the cab was really a time travel machine. or maybe you and your cat were cloned and sent into a parallel universe inwhich you were late in the past but on time in the future...*Gasp*

Try Uber next time

Maybe they don't have Uber or Lyft in Germany. I feel your pain, OP. Before my boyfriend and I started using Uber and Lyft, trying to get a cab home from the vet was pretty tricky. Even though she stays in her carrier, more than one cabbie tried to charge us the pet fee.

Uber > taxi

Maybe they saw someone walking away from the vet with a cat and thought you started heading and it was someone else and they stole your cab because they are too lazy to call one.
