The Asshat Thread

[ghostrunner]

No-one held a gun to ESPN lady's head and forced her to park there though, right?

I believe the contention is she possibly shouldn't have been towed where she was. Or at least that it's possible according to past "customers." But then people don't like admitting that they screwed up either. Tow companies are often predatory dickheads, so we may just have a perfect storm of asshats going on here.

I don't know. Here is the towing companies yelp page. http://www.yelp.com/biz/advanced-towing ... -arlington

She says she was towed from the lot of the place she ate dinner. Perhaps it was her fault, perhaps not. I don't really care.

There's nothing acceptable about anything that she said. You can express that you think you're being treated unfairly, without insulting someone's appearance, someone's job, someone's skillsets, etc. None of that is necessary, under any circumstances. She's obviously a spoiled brat who got caught on camera being a spoiled brat.

the local sports radio guy who is on during the drive home yesterday commented her as being in "mean girls 2". seemed appropriate.

She would make a great WWE heel.

Speaking of towing, is Convent Gardens Towing still contracting with the STLPD to do their towing?

Talk about legalized extortion. I had to pay the fine plus the 'towing fee.' And, they charged for reinflating my tires, which they deflate so you can't jump their fence, fight off the dogs, and drive your car away.

That was waaaaaay back in 1989, my Dad had to front me the cash because that's all they would accept. Wonder what they charge now?

Don't disagree. Just saying that may have gone both ways. It's edited in a way that makes her look like the lone aggressor. I would view it a little differently if I knew she was being taunted in some way.

Also insulting someone's "skill set" almost belongs in the corporate speak thread. That phrase is fairly common, but its an unusual basis for insulting someone.

Deadspin says she has a history of being an awful human.
