Had a similar issue a few years back.Pseudo wrote:13 CABS.
Called to get a taxi to a pub. Spoke to a machine, which tried to interpret my voice to get the address. 30 seconds after the booking, got a call from a driver to confirm the destination, telling us he'd see us soon.
40 minutes later, no taxi. I called back. The machine recognised my number and told me it was processing my booking.
Called Adelaide independent taxis. Spoke to a human who booked us in.
Shortly afterwards the 13CABS driver called again to confirm our destination, 45 minutes after the original call. I asked him to confirm which company he worked for, to make sure I didn't chew out the wrong bloke. He was unable to process this request and hung up on me.
The independent taxi arrived and ferried us home promptly. The driver recieved a solid tip.
Then, 90 minutes after the original call, I got an SMS from 13 CABS telling me that our cab was arriving.
13 CABS = BANNED.
Time to start using Uber.

A River Murray Football League match was abandoned on Saturday after a “dangerous tackle” left a Mannum player stranded on the field for more than 30 minutes with a “serious injury”.
Mannum’s Mitchell Smith was tackled by Southern Mallee vice captain Billy McNeilly in the third quarter of their league clash at Lameroo Oval, leaving the young Roos player unresponsive for more than 20 minutes.
An ambulance took around half an hour to arrive at the ground, with trainers and officials providing umbrellas and blankets to shield Smith from the rain and keep him warm while waiting for assistance.
Commentator Matt Hood was calling the game when the incident unfolded, with RMFL vision showing Smith gathering the ball before seemingly being slammed headfirst into the ground by McNeilly.
“That’s a dangerous tackle, that’s not a good tackle,” Hood said.
“I think he’s out to it at the moment.”
Despite the scary nature of the “serious injury”, Smith was said to be conscious and talking when the ambulance arrived and was in “jovial spirits”, according to Mannum officials.
Southern Mallee, who was leading Mannum by 42 points at the time of the incident, was awarded the win for the match despite it being called off early.

The level of inattention on the road is scary at the moment.

Adelaide drivers are the worst I've ever experienced.

I haven’t driven in Manila despite being there several times but have driven in Jakarta and it’s bedlam and probably the worst I’ve driven in which is a big call considering I’ve driven in Bangkok and HCMC at peak times.amber_fluid wrote:Try driving in Manila.
Absolute mayhem and barely no road rules.
