Which is accurate. There's currently a traffic management program in place at LGA.
I think what OP may have seen is flight status showing original planned times, despite him/her sitting still at IAD. I've seen that a few times, but my bigger frustration is when the crew goes silent. Sitting still for a great length of time with zero communication upsets me, and represents a lazy crew.
