Towing
The pet peeves of a female tow truck driver
Please don’t hit on me
I’m here to tow your car
Not to date you
Don’t pass me your phone number folded up in cash
I won’t call you
EVER
Being groped while doing an unlock isn’t sexy
It’s assault
And I will assault you with the dolley bar on the back of my truck
Please don’t try to help me do my job
I have been trained to do this
You haven’t
If I’m not there in the time the dispatcher told you
Blame my dispatcher
I only got the call 5 minutes ago
Don’t hover over me while I do my job
My boss wouldn’t have sent me if he didn’t have faith in me
I don’t need a babysitter
Don’t give me pointers on how to do a recovery
You parked it poorly
It’s my job to un-park it
If you call us to change your tire
Let ME change your tire
If your ego is that fragile, don’t call us for assistance
It doesn’t impress me that you know my boss
Everyone knows my boss
And no, I’m not giving you a discount
When you see me working on the highway
Slow down and move over like the law states
I want to get home safe too
