(8,692 posts)We had an enormous parking lot, I think the official count was something like 462 spots. For uhh... about eighty people (There were supposed to be two other buildings but they were never built.) People from nearby apartment complexes would park on the far end of the lot. We did not care, at all. The landlord, a pension fund in Canada did not care. Sometimes people would come in and ask if there were spots available for rent and we just said go ahead and park. We don't care, we aren't in the parking business.
These towing company dickheads would come into the office offering their services and saying they could start immediately. As in towing the cars, without warning, no sign or anything. I would tell them to fuck off and to consider making an honest living as prostitutes.
Personally, I won't go into any business anywhere if there is a sketchy towing sign in their parking lot.
I have a seething hatred of towing companies owing to an incident in Arizona in my youth where our car was just plain stolen by a tow truck. The police said it was a civil matter. The towing company said "whatcha gonna do about it? Nice stereo by the way."
We stole our own car out of the lot and set the land speed record for Interstate 10. Oh boy were our fathers angry.
