    I'll jump all day. You wanna' rant and rave and call it a racket? Fine. I lost my shit at a messenger service once because the lady behind the protective glass wasn't paying attention to what I was telling her. But calling out a woman for her teeth and telling her to lose weight? Low blow bullshit from a shrew.

    I don't know... Not defending her, but I hate the idea that she could lose her job for that. Maybe she's always like that and if that's the case, then maybe that's what she deserves, but it could be a case where she's tired, pissed off the cashier is being a bitch to her as well.

    But, when you play the "I'm in TV" card, I guess you're asking for the person she berates to send it off to TBL.

    The cashier was such a bitch that she warned her that she was being videotaped. Ohh, what a wretch.

    Would we all be staring at our feet saying, "aww gee, ya know, these impound lots suck and stuff..." if this video was of Berman or Olbermann and not the hot, young set of legs? Don't ponder that one too much.

    I wouldn't be surprised if ESPN fired her, but I think suspending her for 2 weeks or so would be fine.

    From the aforementioned Quaz that Jeff Pearlman did with her. The answer suddenly seems much more revealing:

    • If roses smelled like shit, and shit smelled like roses, would we love the smell of shit or roses?:
    Roses. We’re a culture that loves visual stimulation, even if what’s beneath the surface stinks.

    I probably would because I'm totally biased against those shitheels that steal people's cars and then charge them to get them back. Not coincidentally, the company that towed my car is currently being investigated by the state for illegally towing vehicles.

    I refuse to judge her until I see the other woman.... besides, the tape could have been edited to extract comments the attendant made to piss her off. I just doubt someone starts in with comments like that unless they've really been provoked, and that's beyond just towing their car.

    Should have called the police from your legal spot and say that your car was stolen. Get the cop out there and make a report on where your car was legally parked. Then, when the tower says that it was in an illegal spot, tell him you called the police, and you will have a report on where the car was located, and that you will press charges unless he immediately releases your car for free.

    There was no way to prove where my car was parked. Me standing in an empty spot doesn't mean jack in small claims court. It was my word vs. the tow company's.

    FWIW, the tow company was recently dropped from the rotation of tow companies used by the state pending the outcome of the investigation into their predatory towing practice. They'll probably be out of business before the end of the year.

    That video actually makes me feel sorry for a towing company employee. That's like trying to feel bad for Darth Vader cause he had mommy issues.

    I imagine this is similar to what happens when Chris Berman approaches the continental breakfast bar at 10:34
