So I saw an ad on Eros for what seems to be an agency and does have reviews on TER...

I liked the pictures and made the appointment.  The lady told me to go to a certain address in the Falls Church / Tysons Corner area.  So of course we all know what the traffic nightmare that is, and to top it off, I made the appointment during rush hour as that's when I can get away with it.  But thanks to good planning, I make it on time and give the booker a call.

"Go to this address in Dunn Loring".

WTF?

I tell her that's kind of far away and suddenly she gets an assertive tone and says it's ONLY 4 minutes away. Ummm, not from where I was.  I said forget it and hung up but WTF kind of directions is that.

...for providers to give you an original address near the real address and then, on the second call, to give you the real address once they know you're in the area.  Usually, it's not too far away -- often another building in the same general area.  A real 4 minutes would not seem too unusual to me.

From where I was, which is pretty much where Falls Church and Tysons Corner meet, there was NO WAY I was going to make it to Dunn Loring in 4 minutes.  In rush hour, more like 40 minutes!

If you where where Falls Church meets Tysons, you weren't much more than four minutes from Dunn Loring, especially if you know the back roads, like Idylwood and Gallows. That being said, it is a pain.
