For some reason last week, we had a bumper crop of cars towed out of one particular lot we do, the one I've mentioned before, the one that has 10 signs in it saying you can't park there without a permit.... we got six cars out of there in total.
And , this week, every single one of them wrote us a nasty email complaint about how it was TOTALLY not their fault they missed all 10 signs, because it was Thanksgiving week, and, well, that means nobody should be enforcing parking rules that we don't have to follow anyway cuz' this is a free country and I was only there for a nanosecond, and other stuff..... blah blah blah blah.......... Well, actually it was the OWNERS who wrote the letters, not the cars, if the CARS are writing me letters then I'll have to go down to the local book store and accordingly move a few of Stephen King's books from the "horror" section to "nonfiction".
The only one of interest was one who singled me out in particular for the complaint, saying I was "rude" "unprofessional" and made him "feel like sh*t" for the way I treated him.
Naturally, the office asked me if I recalled anything about the tow before they'd even bother to write a reply to him.
As a matter of fact, I did recall that particular gentleman. He came out before he got towed, so was able to walk away with only a fraction of what he would've owed had he been hauled back to impound.
I recalled that the owner took umbrage and demanded to know how he was supposed to know that he couldn't park in that lot, the lot with 10 signs.
In response, I pointed to each one and counted them out loud... "Sir, there are 1... 2.... 3..... 4..... 5.... signs I can see from right here that say you cannot park here without a permit"
To which he responded
"Well, maybe I can't read! What then huh?!"
To wit I said:
"Then you shouldn't have been able to get a driver's license"
And that's apparently what made him "feel like sh*t"
The office got a chuckle out of that, while they gleefully hit the "delete" button.
