  • Tis the Season

    Ah, yes, the time between Thanksgiving and Xmas, where everyone turns into colossal dickheads, moreso, because they seem to think it's immoral/unethical/illegal to tow for being illegally parked on a "holiday", which to your average SC means everything from a week BEFORE Turkey Day to New Years.........

    Which segues nicely into my first mass-ass encounter of Christmas. It was a family affair. First up, was Son of Dickhead.

    No, you don't own this parking lot or the house son, see, they are property of Global Domination Realty LLC, not you. So no, I will not be letting this permitless car of yours stay here.

    You backtracked awfully quickly out of that argument when you realized I wasn't going to fall for it, but then you decided to go the democratic approach. That is, if you could find 5 people in the house that agreed towing that car for having no permit was "stupid" and shouldn't be allowed, then I'd just have to give up because it's 5 to 1.

    Sorry, this ain't a democracy, it's not even an oligarchy, think of it more as, THE JUNGLE where there are only predators and prey, guess who is who here?

    Oh, now your whole FAMILY is surrounding me, we've got you, Daddy dickhead (Argle-bargling about how "For how much I pay for his rent I SHOULDN'T NEED A F*CKIN' PERMIT TO PARK HERE!" Mommy Dickhead ("You tell Global Domination Reality that we won't rent here again if they treat tenants like this") Auntie Dickhead (This is ridiculous and you're a crook!) Cousin Dickhead, (who I suspect lives in fear that he actually has some great untapped affinity for hairdressing and interior decorating because he immediately challenged me to a fistfight to prove his manhood) had all chimed in before it was over.

    Dad also takes some time to make it clear he was only there for ONE MINUTE so permit or not, I'm being unreasonable, selfish, you know, the usual, just take it all from the top shelf and put in a big glass for me barkeep, I've had it all before.

    And now I think I see the problem, it's Daddy's car I was fixing to tow, apparently you told him it was cool to park there without a permit when it, in fact, was not.

    Well this is going swimmingly, just swimmingly, like swimming in a waste lagoon at a poultry farm

    Now Daddy is telling me he's going to call the cops, that's cool bro, I'll wait.

    He seems a bit taken back at this, he again says he'll call them, I again say I'll wait.

    NO! he yells, I have to leave, RIGHT NOW!

    I tell him I don't have to, since he, like his son, doesn't own the lot and doesn't make the rules, and since I'm legally empowered to act as their towing agent, I have no reason to listen to them. I'll gladly stay if he wants to challenge the legality of this and summon officers (casting cost, 3 blue, 1 red, 4 rage, 1 ego) but otherwise, I will go, because I have other cars to tow, but only after I'm sure you're outta here.

    Cousin Dickhead takes this as another opportunity to prove he's a REAL MAHN (tm) and call me a "pussy" as I back out of the lot and head off to the next one on my route, while Daddy yells "GET HIS PLATE! GET HIS PLATE!"

    Why? No idea, it's not registered to me and won't come back to me and it says "TOWING" right on it, like the plates of all towing vehicles in this state, even starts with special letter combos "RT - xxxxx"

    I guess it should come as no surprise that when I mentioned the incident later to the gals at Global Domination Reality's office, in case they get a "complaint" about my "rudeness" they just laughed when I gave the address.

    Seems that tenant has only been there for one semester and already owes them over $800 in property damage related to his occupancy. Methinks that complaint isn't going to get very far.

    Wait, you left without towing Daddy Dickhead?

    Damn. Now he'll think he was able to get away with bullying you, and I'm sure the cousin claimed all the credit.
    Sorry, my cow died so I don't need your bull

      I'm thinking Dickhead Jr. is going to be kicked out and Daddy Dickhead will be furious at the $800 charge for the property damage because his speshul snowflake would never do anything like that...

      So did you tow the car? It's not clear from the story...
      When you start at zero, everything's progress.

        I take it from the language that Daddy Dickhead finally did move his car to somewhere where it's not in violation. Or at least to where Sir Arga of Barga is not legally empowered to act as a towing agent. Or at least not yet.

          Yeah, he moved out into the street. Which was odd, from the street, across the sidewalk, to the front door of the place was CLOSER than where he parked originally, the lot is BEHIND the house.

          Further proof that I don't get people and never will

              Really? I always thought damaging property got you massive street cred! Now they _have_ to take the Dickhead family seriously!

              <Sarcasm mode off> And we now return you to your regularly scheduled Argabarga hiliarity! Believe it or don't!

                I wonder if he moved right back after you left. You know, all passive-aggressively. "I'll fix you, Mr. Tow Truck Guy! I'm moving back to that spot!!"

                  I thought of that, so I cruised past there again a couple times, but he stayed in the street amazingly.

                  My record for "boomeranging" like that though? 3 times.

                  That is, the guy left, I followed him out, at the end of the block, he turned left, and I turned right.

                  Based on the attitude he gave me, I was thinking "he's probably going to go right back in there" so I quick floored it around the side streets and came back down the main street and parked in the lot again.

                  Sure enough, about 10 seconds later, he came down the street from the opposite side, saw me, and slowly rolled past giving me the the "How did he know?! Er, I mean, I meant to do this" look.

                  I pulled out again, followed him down again, and at the end of the block, he went straight, and I turned right again.

                  Knowing I hadn't seen the end of him, I did another loop around, but made it a three block radius this time instead of one.

                  Sure enough, after making the orbit, I came back to the lot just as he was pulling back in, he quickly gunned it out and drove off again.

                  Now I was getting a might bit perturbed, so I pulled into the lot of the house next door, into a dark corner of the lot, shut off all my lights, and waited.

                  Yep, he came back around the block and pulled in, but as soon as he got out of the car, he noticed me sitting next door. I got out an walked over and asked him:

                  "Do I have to call the cops on you for trespassing? Because I can do this all night long....... and I don't really want to have to"

                  That finally got him to leave for good, he must've finally realized that he couldn't afford to keep burning up the gas on his dime driving in circles waiting for me to get bored.

                        If the cops are called, they're gonna be on Arga's side. He's got all the docs, licensing, permitting, and authorization necessary to do what he's doing, and the Family, to put it briefly, does not. If a policeman happened by, saw the scene, and asked "Which of you two parties is doing something illegal?" it would not go well for them.

                        Argabarga's victims are not customers. They cannot bargain or appeal because that's not what he's in charge of, yet they are the source of his company's profits. Therefore: They are his INVENTORY.

                          This has happened on Repo before...the cops showed up and everyone was separated, and the repo people were all "our docs are in the truck!" and all was well.

                            For the past few weeks, I've seen the occasional Argabarga reply in someone else's thread (so I knew he was still around), but no new parking threads. I was beginning to think an epidemic of legal parking had broken out - glad to see I was wrong.

                              I think Sir Arga of Barga merely doesn't keep us abreast of every single instance of illegal parking, but merely the truly "special" cases wherein someone tries to either use a new variant of the same tired old arguments, gets truly belligerent, or actually gets arrested. Or something along those lines.
