Wolves would have done a much better job of ensuring this kid would have some basic survival instincts....
Son, the problem here is that in addition to owing us $115 for being towed for illegal parking, you also owe us $70 in storage, $35 per each full day your car sat here, seeing as you got towed Friday night and it's now Monday morning.
No, the weekends aren't free.
No, we weren't closed this weekend, you could've picked it up at anytime, we're a 24 hour service, there is someone here or close by at all times, if the front door is locked when you get here just call the number on the door and someone will come up and let you in.
You said you tried to call us? But nobody picked up the phone? It just rang and rang and rang? Nobody picked up? That's odd, we have an answering service that the call will "bounce" to if the driver is busy on a call and isn't here. You must have dialed the wrong number if nobody picked up. You say you still have it in your phone? Let's see it..... yup, that's not our number, not even close.
You say you got it off of Google? Well, that explains it, see, Google has it mislisted. They seem to think we're in the next town over from here, so the first 3 digits they have listed are for that town's phone exchange, not ours. Frankly, I'm surprised it rang at all.
Oh yes, I'm sure that's what came up when you googled us, the problem is, it's wrong, Google has it listed wrong. In fact, we've actually tried to alert them to this issue before, but nothing ever happens, and we don't have any control over what they put up. Why you opted to internet search for our number in the first place, when our actual number was painted on the front door glass, the same front door you were standing in front of, and is on the sign out front, the big light-up one you can read while driving by on the road.... I have no idea. People I've found are so darn reliant on the internet these days that they'll believe it over physical evidence, I guess, consider this a valuable learning opportunity that your problem solving skills need development. No, you don't have to show me what number you dialed in your cellphone history, I'm sure that's the one you DID dial, but as I said, it's NOT OUR NUMBER.
No, we weren't closed. The overnight driver was probably in the back washing his truck or something, that's why you have to call when you get here, there's only one guy on shift from midnight to 6am, and his "office" as it were is way in the back where he can't see the front door. If you had called the number on the door, the phone inside would have rang, and he would've come up.
No, you don't get a discount for relying on someone else's false information we have no control over.
No, our sign out front is not misleading, it says "24 Hour Towing", meaning the towing part is always open.
No, the "Monday thru Friday 7-5" part of the sign refers to the hours of our bodyshop and service departments, see? Says so right next to it. Furthermore, that text is below the "24 Hour Towing" part, and is only about half as big, so it's not reasonable to assume that the towing department follows the same hours.
No sir, I don't think there's a problem with any of our signage, to the best of my knowledge you're the first person who ever complained about it.
No, it will be $185
*SIGH* No, we cannot take your Mom's credit card information for this, over the phone sight unseen no less, if she's paying for it by card, she needs to be here, card in hand.
No, you'll have to call her and explain to her what happened, I have other things to do. No Sir, YOU will have to call your OWN Mother and figure out a way to get the money for this by YOURSELF, you've still got that cellphone don't you?
"I'm not good at, like, taking information and stuff" you say?
Yeah, I noticed that....

He is my Black Dragon (and yes, a good one) strong, protective, the guardian. I am his Silver Dragon, always by his side, shining for him, cherishing him.
