Forgetfulness
I’m down south in St. Albans at the moment staying with my family for the next couple of weeks because a number of things I’m due to attend down here are happening all at once. When I pack I’m normally very careful to double check I’ve got everything, but this time because the taxi arrived literally 2 minutes after hanging up the phone to the cab control centre I didn’t have the time to give my bags the once over. As a result I forgot my Bluetooth dongle (meaning I can’t use my wireless mouse with my laptop for 2 weeks), my shaver (meaning I will have to use a blade razor for 2 weeks which I hate) and my jacket (which means I will have to borrow one from the house - luckily very doable).
I guess the moral of the story is to always check you have packed everything and if there is a taxi involved, do so before calling the cab company!

Or call BlueLine cabs, they always take forever…… especially if the controller says 5 minutes!

No, no joke. They always took ages when I called them. They obviously like you, either that or you got really lucky.
