1. ever had your car towed?

I have. It does, therefore, give me great pleasure to think of the truck owners showing up at the lot, having to pay the towing fee and also facing the price of the ticket.

6. I once read a magazine article called "The Ten Worst Jobs In The World." The First Two Were Unusual

1. Turkey 'Milker:' A specialized turkey farm hand (so to speak) whose job it is to 'extract' semen from the tom turkey, and use it to inseminate all the hens. (Apparently, just putting the male and female together, and letting nature take its course, is too slow.)

2. Interior Pipeline Technician: Some poor bastard who has to inspect pipelines from the INSIDE, riding a little electric car down the inside of a pipeline. Not a job for the claustrophobic.

But the number three worst job in the world was fairly predictable:

3. Booth Clerk at the Impound Lot: Some poor person who has to sit in a booth all day getting yelled at by indignant car/truck owners claiming their car/truck shouldn't have been towed.

Just imagine how bad that job is going to be in Ottawa tomorrow? Instead of having to listen to people yelling "But the SIGN wasn't visible!" and "But I was only there for FIVE MINUTES!" you'll have to listen to "But I was fighting for my FREEDUMBS!" and "I was standing up to TYRANNY!"

"I know, I know, buddy. Just give me the money, and tell it to the judge."

8. My neighbor got his van repossessed. I laughed during the emergency cleanout when the brand new set

of Nike golf clubs came out and were tossed on the lawn. This was before TFG, but I'm sure he's a fan.

This guy was a major dumbass. My ex-girlfriend told me his wife said they had over four large in overdraft fees that year. Wifey would basically just spend hundreds on new clothes for the kids rather than do laundry.

When I talked to him, the biggest problem was taxes. He'd have been just fine if he didn't have to pay so much in taxes. He had a pretty good job.

7. I think many of those trucks will never be returned to the owners

Should sell them to compensate for lost wages and business and some to residents for having to suffer for weeks.

9. That's what I was thinking.

It's not like these clowns are responsible or independently wealthy enough to eat the costs they face. Many could already have been in arrears on their truck loans and are willing to just walk away.

2. those trucks .... #LockThemAllUp and make the truckers/owners pay HUGE fines.

3. Dump them

In the river.

5. Nope. Disagree. Damage the rivers

Crush em, melt 'em and turn 'em into something else

10. Or have them reconditioned and sold for a decent price...

So they aren't just more trash. Most of those rigs have many years of operation left in them, they shouldn't go to waste, they just need new owners.

12. Agreed

11. Nothing like a room with a view.
