He Knows the Truth! No, Really! He Says So!

[Argabarga]

-This is Argabarga with Friendly Neighborhood Towing, did someone at this number call about a black Accord from Squarely Circle Apartments?
-Yes!
-Well, I have a dark blue Accord here from that location, towed from unit 504, it was called in...
-*Interrupting* I'm coming in to get my car, and I'm not paying full price!
-Sorry Sir, but I cannot release it unless....
-*Interrupting*NO! I know how this works! You can make $40 or $50 off me, but I'm not paying the full amount! I don't have to pay in full for you to make your money!
-I cannot release the vehicle unless you pay the full amount
-Listen, I KNOW how it works! I know you make money off commissions and stuff! These fines are all bulls*it! You'll make money off me anyway! You CAN and WILL take $50 AT LEAST off that price!
-I can't do that Sir
-You better because I'm going to complain about you! And this town! Because you towed me for no reason! And there weren't any signs!
-There is a sign in that lot Sir, it's on the left as you drive in, it's tan with a brown border
-Well, that sign is old and dirty! It looks like it's from the 1800's!!! And there's no lights on it! And it's in a bad place where you can't see it! And it's Easter too! So, I don't have to pay!
-Easter is Sunday Sir *it wasn't Sunday at this point* and that particular property doesn't suspend the parking rules for holidays. As I said, you were called in for not having a permit
-I was just visiting! And my friend here says nobody ever gets towed!
-Well, it's not a high-volume lot, we only get about 1 car every 5 months or so but we do actively tow from there
- I was only visiting, FOR EASTER, and you can't tow me in good faith for that!
-If you do not pay in full, I cannot release the vehicle, and if you have any questions or issues with the tow, you will need to speak to the manager on Monday
-Oh I will, I KNOW HOW YOU GUYS WORK!!!

*click*

Ya know, If he really knew "how it worked" wouldn't he still be driving his car around?

OMG Arga, run and hide now! HE KNOWS THE SECRET!!!

(preps the bunker with Seraph - loads it with emergency supplies of bacon, popcorn, and PWNADE(tm))

[Mytical]

The TRUTH (TM) - Great he is on to the Pigeon Illuminati Theocracy Bureau (PITB)! We will have to send word to The Godpigeon to have him taken care of. Be more careful next time and keep the PITB* contained!

*Pain in the butt

((Sometimes I wonder about my brain..other times I REALLY wonder about it))

[Syriilord]

Wait, so this is the guy the Godpidgeon wants me to fly across the pond to "handle"?

Ugggh. If it wasn't a personal request from the Godpidgeon himself, I'd probably turn it down just on principle...

[Marmalady]

Please say you're going to give us an update regarding Monday's events?

Yes please do.

[Argabarga]

Can't, didn't have to work today, odds are, manager told him to shove it

Soooo ... how does he know the sign is "old and dirty" and "looks like it's from the 1800's" if there were no signs ... ?

It's because he saw the sign, but didn't read it. If he didn't read it, then it didn't exist. Perfect SC logic!

The only reason I can figure this out is because I have a nasty little sinus headache that keeps interrupting my actual thoughts.

Logical progression


10: Say you were only there for a minute
20: Say there were no signs
30: Say the signs weren't clear enough
40: Say the signs were confusing
50: Say you'll call your lawyer/the cops
60: Goto 10

The facts don't matter to the program, it's just spitting out what it's supposed to

End result is an endless loop which can be stopped by a clue by four applied to the head.

anyway you can find out from your manager what happened?

Also, the sign from the 1800's would've been more like this:

"Ye Olde Cart And Horse Shall Be Led Away If Thou Shalt Parkest Here"

There MAY be a sign like that over in the Amish town down the road... where the hitching post at the bank isn't just for show.. it's for hitching

Do you ever find yourself, in such situations, saying what the customer's going to say, about a second before it gets said?

And is that a good sign, or a bad sign.
