I don't know what happened, but since around 2015 few things have identified an insufferable dickbag faster than a raised truck.

It was the marching symbol of maga dumbasses

Every time a raised truck drives like a maniac on the highway, every time the driver speeds, cuts people off, and blows diesel exhaust all over everyone, you just have to remember that he is in a huge hurry to get home and kiss his dad straight on the mouth. Yes, with plenty of tongue action, too.

That poor husky white guy with a big bushy beard and sunglasses is in such a rush out of genuine excitement. "I just got this new cherry chapstick on and daddy is gonna want a taste! Can't wait to have his lips on mine!"

It's sweet, really, when you think about it.

If this happens to you ask to see their permit to tow, then ask for a drop fee ($50 to unhook your car then and there), else document the whole process and get a lawyer or suck up the payment I guess.

You also have the option of calling the cops and getting them to confirm it is a legal tow before they tow it.

You'll have to face down an angry tow guy and likely annoyed police too, so ymmv

I have my doubts about this story. Two minutes (+ hookup time) and you've had one bite of that corndog? Wtf are you doing?! Eat that fucking corndog. Unless this is your second, you better explain yourself.

[–] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 3 points 25 minutes ago

It's a food truck. Probably took 15 minutes just to get the corndog.

Also, no condiment? At least throw some yellow mustard on that corned glizzy

Perhaps they waited to start their dinner until the show began.

[–] Trex202@lemmy.world 9 points 1 hour ago

One does not simply eat only one corndog

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 7 points 1 hour ago

Maybe there was a line for the corndogs?

If it's a fresh corndog, the only kind worth eating, he had to wait for it to cool.

"He's been eating corn dogs for 8 straight hours. He's a machine."

[–] EvacuateSoul@lemmy.world 1 points 59 minutes ago

If you have sensitive teeth, corn dogs can be pretty rough if you don't wait a minute.

I didn’t realize tow trucks camped spawn points like this.

[–] h3ll3rsh4nks@ani.social 15 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Yeah there's some predatory companies that will grab a vehicle after its been sitting for just a few minutes. They suck. That being said if this is a real story the driver is an idiot for not listening to corn dog man.

[–] Seppo@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

They don't suck. The people leaving their cars everywhere suck.

[–] h3ll3rsh4nks@ani.social 6 points 58 minutes ago

If you have ever been hit by one of those predatory tow companies your tune would change. I was parked at a friends apartment complex WITH a visitor pass and they still towed me, then charged me $400 release. Cops wouldn't do anything and it would have cost more to sue than the $400 and they know it.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago

Yep, in the city, you listen to the locals and say thank you.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Yes. Nearby black spots for crashes too; which is great because they're often clearing the road or helping traffic before emergency services arrive.

A city I used to live in actually had state trucks whose sole job was to arrive fast and just start bulldozing broken down or damaged cars off the major road with giant cushion things. Then a tow truck that was waiting nearby would load them up. Everything could be cleared so quickly.
