Happy New Year...Cab Rides Are Overrated!

We decided to be the responsible adults that we are and start drinking at home and then cab it to our New Year's party about 4 miles away. Party starts at 9 so we'll call the cab at 8:30 and have some cocktails while we wait. We were told after 5 minutes of trying to get through to the cab company that it would be 5-35 minutes until one came and that they'd call when they got there. Normal cab lingo and we were not bothered by the little extra wait. I mean, hell, it was New Years! So about 45 minutes and 2 more cocktails passes and we decide to wait out front. I mean they have to be here any second. Cab after cab passes us but none of them ours. 5 more minutes of trying to get back through to the cab company and the next dispatch we speak to says that no one should have ever told us a wait time and a cab would be there as soon as possible. (funny) It's now about an hour and a half since we originally called and we are good and toasted and getting hungry. We decide to call again. 5 more minutes of busy signals and the 3rd dispatch we've now spoken to says that they aren't doing "arrival calls" and that our cab has come and gone. So let me get this straight... you wanted us to sit outside for an unknown amount of time and wait for a cab that may or may not come. Ass hole. He tells us a cab should be there in about 30 minutes! It's 10:30 at this point. We decide to be adventurous. As long as we are together having fun, who cares what we do, so we hop on our bikes and head off to our party. 30 minutes later of what seemed like an all uphill bike-ride (mind you, we are well on our way to being drunk at this point so everything is an effort) we are arrive at the front gate of our party's building and the phone rings. Independent Cab is at our apartment ready to pick us up.
