NL bug with pets?

[verdaeni]

at least this is the first time this happened..  i get one of those calls from a random stranger to go out.  i chose the card shack, a point because its not that big.  well im not sure wether im getting a single invite or an outing, but there is not one blue plumbob marked person there.   i spend some time checking around...  no blue plumbobs.  i give my sim extra time to run into anyone and pretty soon ive played cards with a whole LOT of people, still no blue plumbobs.    and then when i finally get home i get a message from the caller that i stood her up and never to call back.   did i miss something here?

I think you're meant to wait until the taxi shows up, at least, that's what I do...and if it doesn't show up after a few minutes, I take the car and then every proceeds like it's supposed to.

i did take the taxi that showed up, although its good to know i can jumpstart the process with the car if i have to...
