With special consolation prize for being utterly tasteless, as you'll see.
Kid comes into town and parks his Explorer at his buddies apartment so they can spend a lively day watching the big football game together and party it up. While they're partying it up, the apartment maintenance man patrolling the grounds notices the kid's Explorer parked with no permits and puts a ticket on it.
Two hours later, the maintenance man comes by again, sees that his first ticket has not been heeded, so he gives it another.
Two hours later, on another orbit, Mr. Maintenance notices that the Explorer is still there and rather than futilely give it another ticket, he calls us and we take the whole shebang, SUV, tickets and all, back to the lot.
About two hours later (that's a total of six hours for those of you playing at home who don't like math) the kid notices someone took his vehicle and calls us.
He's informed that between the tickets and tow he owes us $145
He gives us his Mommy's credit card, we tell him we can't take that, if the person who's name is on the card is not in front of us when the card is presented, we will not use it. He leaves.
Then, Mommy dearest calls..... the Towing Manager (TM) was the unlucky victim who picked up the phone.
Mom- WHY WON'T YOU TAKE MY CARD?!
TM- Company policy Ma'm, if the cardholder isn't present, we cannot use it.
Mom- WHO'S POLICY!?
TM- It's our company policy
Mom- And what kind of company IS THIS????
TM- *blanks, shoots me the "Is this chick for real?" stare* Uh, a towing company....
Mom- And WHY won't you take my card?!
TM- Because you aren't here, we have no way of verifying if it actually is your card if you aren't here in front of us with some kind of proof, like a photo ID
Mom- Well, you already ruined my son's night! You know there are no signs were you towed him from?! None! The way you shady towing companies stay in business ripping people off is a shame!!!
TM- Ma'm, there are signs in that lot, right at the entrance, that say "permit parking only", he was called into us by the property owner for not having a permit and being there for *checks paperwork* over six hours.
Mom- That's ALL the time they gave him?!
TM- *blanks again* Uh, yeah, that's hours more than they have to give him.
Mom- Then they're not clear! Because my son says he didn't see them!
TM- Not our problem
Mom- Well, just take my card and let him get his car back
TM- We cannot use your card if you aren't here.
Mom- Then take my info over the phone then because he doesn't have any other way to pay!
TM- We can't do that
Mom- No, YOU WILL take my info over the phone!
TM- No we will not, that is against company policy
Mom- WHO'S POLICY?!!!!
TM- The office that runs this business
Mom- WHAT OFFICE?!
TM- *blanks again* Uh... the office where the paperwork is processed? (At this rate, poor TM will be shooting more blanks than a movie set filming a Rambo movie before it's over)
Mom- Just take my card!
TM- For the last time, we cannot do that
Mom- Well, I hope you're happy! My Son's out there with no way to get home now! And if he gets RAPED while walking around, I hope you are HAPPY!!!
TM- Excuse me, Ma'm???
Mom- I READ THE PAPERS! I KNOW WHAT GOES ON UP THERE! YOU GUYS RAPE KIDS ALL THE TIIMMMMMMEEE!!!!!
TM- You have a nice night, Ma'm! *CLICKSLAM!!!*
And the TM practically dents the phone hanging up. Way to be classy there, Mom. Wishing a violent felony upon your own kid to prove a point......
And for those who don't know..... check my location.... we had a major sex scandal up here this year involving child rape and the local university.... google it if you want the sick and unfortunate details. Nothing like trying to use THAT to get out of illegal parking, huh?
And to think, this all could've been avoided if they'd just listened to the signs....
Signs are our friends!!!
