Especially in that profession.

You can't tell me it's not the first time something like that has been said to her.

No doubt.

I would bet a paycheck that if she would have never mentioned that she was on TV that tape would never had seen the light of day.

💯.

It's all about publicity. The company was going under before this for fraud.

No need to apologize. If you condone attacks to a person's physical appearance that's your right. Says a lot about you.

I guess it does. A persons appearance is secondary to their character to me. If you work for a thief you have no character.

I'm guessing that crusse10 has eaten a lot of servers' loogies in his day. You can't treat people like that even if you are pissed off. Do that in my neck of the woods and you're liable to wake up in the hospital. Lot attendant was composed and gracious. ESPN employee showed her ugly side. Anyone with a lick of sense can see who the villa was here.

1. You have no idea how the tow attendant acted because the video was strategically edited to ensure one person looked like the victim and the other person looked guilty.
2. I've been a server for years. I know how to treat people in the service industry.
3. This isn't the service industry. It's corruption from the top to the bottom. The time I caught a tow truck with my wheels up, it cost me $60 just for him to lower it. Did any of that money go to the company? Hell no. That was pocketed and the claim slip on which he'd only written my license plate was trashed. It's corruption, plain and simple.

LOL at the geniuses siding with the criminals thinking the rest of us are small minded.

It looks bad but I'd really like to know the whole story. That is a really dirty business. It is a little funny what people consider to be worth firing somebody over vs some of the things we let people just apologize for.

My rant mostly revolved around the legal extortion they considered a business practice. With that said... It doesn't exactly take much to better than those clowns were. I mean I do feel extremely superior to them but so is a crackhead who gives hand jobs in an alley so he can get his next fix. So that really isn't saying much.

My last line totally applies. I've found several articles reporting that the company who towed her car is known for their "preditory" business practices. That lady works for those crooks. If she wants to be treated with respect then go find a job that isn't collecting money for extortionist.

The lady seems like a real piece of work. With that said I'm willing to give her a pass. She was dealing with cockroaches so I can't fault her for treating them like cockroaches.

Well, that changes a few things for me. Granted, I don't think lashing out at the person at the bottom of the totem pole is justified unless it is something egregious (towing a car is right up there), but in this instance, I don't know if the attendant was the one that was physically involved. The owner of the towing company is whole deserves the venom, assuming they are engage in predatory practices. This society has no place for these kinds of cockroaches.

Confession time.
When I was 19 and a sophomore in college, my high school girlfriend visited my apartment against her parents' wishes.
When she was leaving, we discovered her car in the process of being towed from our lot.
I tried to pay the amount due to get him to drop the car right then (so she could get home on time) but he refused and said he was still taking it in.
Pretty sure I talked to him just as badly!

You should have never gotten a job!

Most of us have felt superior at one time or another, it's human nature. I've improved substantially in this area now that I'm no longer a republican because I've come to realize that only through sheer accident am I not a serial killer or indigent third world denizen.

However, I cannot deny my base instincts in certain situations, so I've developed a simple creed: if you don't have something clever to say, don't say anything at all.

More realistic than the traditional take of just avoiding all potentially offensive speech, my version provides a framework for improved discourse in all situations. If you, as a supposed educated, talented princess cannot manufacture anything other than circular proclamations of your own greatness, it's better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

This is so insanely obvious… Even to a small minded thinker like myself.

You didn't offend me. I just think it's absolutely ridiculous to expect this lady to receive even the smallest amount of respect from people while basically blackmailing them.

I would maybe be able to get on board with that line of thinking if the lady honestly didn't realize that the company she worked for took peoples cars and then held them for ransom. I feel pretty comfortable assuming that isn't the case that isn't the case.

I never said anything about respect. I said the reporter was in the wrong for the personal attacks. Insulting people who aren't as pretty as you, or as rich as you, is something most kids start in middle school. Most outgrow it by the time they reach adulthood. And then you have those who never outgrow it.

I don't think we necessarily disagree about the ESPN lady, though I think it's safe to say you're considerably more passionate about it than I am. I think where we disagree is whether or not the lady behind the counter should have any expectation of not being talked to like that. You said that it bothers you that many of us feel like she shouldn't and later referred to that as simple minded thinking. What bothers me is how society seems to have not only given these turds a free pass to steal and extort, but expect that you not be ugly to them while they do it or you're apparently the bad guy.

My small minded comment (narrow might have been a better word) was in relation to focusing on the incident itself and who it involved, rather than the fact that the insults should have never been hurled regardless of who they were thrown at.

By the way, your avy creeps me out everytime I see it. :lol: What in the world is that??

I've had my car towed once. I took a Taxi down, payed the bill and drove away. Perhaps, I should have berated the person taking my money? I must have forgotten that part.

i paid to get the chain or whatever taken off mine. They hadn't even started loading it. It was just $30 and I learned not to park in a fire zone
