Hilarious Tow Truck Incident

[juiced 0]

Hey, just wanted to tell you guys this story cause it just happened and i think its funny. So i'm in high school and of course there's not enough parking spots in the parking lot for everyone with cars. There's always people parked in teachers spots and fire lanes and just random places that they can fit there cars. So about once a month the secretaries call the tow trucks and they come and tow everyone who is parked illegally. Once someone finds out that this is happening, word gets around the school like wildfire and everyone's running outside to move their cars. Anyway, yesterday the trucks get called and they've hooked up this one kid's car, who manages to get out there intime to pay the driver to take it down before he drives away with it. Just before that another kid, who was driving into the parking lot at the same time, parks his car (illegally) and gets out, but it's still running. (He's the guy who warns the first kid). Anyway, once they've unhooked the car the tow trucks (theres 2 or 3) box in the car that's running and start trying to hook it up. The kid who's car it is gets mad and they start arguing back and forth. (Big stocky towtruck driver). Anyway by now there's about 20 or so grade 12's outside. So the kid and the driver are beakin' each other. He says "move your damn car out of the way" to the kid and turns around, the kid goes "why don't you move your ugly ass truck". Driver turns around, cracks the kid right in the nose. 20 or so kids rush in on the driver who starts swinging at everybody. The other driver gets out of his truck and starts screaming battle cries and running in, while the third driver books it out of the parking lot. A bunch of kids get punched (keep in mind these are big stocky high 30's guys). One big kid gets hit in the back of the head so he grabs the driver and throws him into the back of a truck. Then the first kid ends up with the huge driver on the ground, dragging his face accross the pavement. By then theres administration out there and teachers and it's a huge mess. Drivers end up in the hospital (minus the one guy who booked it) and the kids aren't in any trouble.

I thought this was hilarious, it'll make the secretaries think twice about calling the trucks hahaha. It was really intense at the time tho.

That's not funny at all. I would have locked down the school so those kids couldn't hide, take down as many names/plates as possible and served expulsions or arrest warrants. Just because you're too much of a lazy fuck to get a ride on the bus or with a friend doesn't mean you can attack the tow truckers who are doing their jobs. It doesn't matter who swung first, and that drive should be fired and arrested as well.

You just reaffirmed my contempt for the youth of America.

I agree with Rustpot, ride the bus or hitch with a friend. Lack of parking spaces is, by no means, a justification to park wherever you wish -- it means don't park!

This is retarded. Encouraging kids to drive to school = bad idea.

kids shouldnt drive to school... i think it leads to problems later on. Kids with wheels tend to show off a little more since they can afford cars, those that cant may feel jealous or whatever.

Have a level playing ground, have everyone bus it to school or walk. If they live much further away, either the parents can drop them off, or get them a bike.

I think the youth has changed a lot... not only America but all over the world. I was in the workshop when a bunch of apprentices (about 19 yrs old) came in with flipflops, shorts and t-shirts, wearing sunglasses and everything. Granted it was the end of the day, but that was improper attire for the workshop. A trainer called them over to explain the aspects of SAFETY, that they needed to abide by the rules in the workshop. The apprentices just argued back, saying that it was the end of the shift... I would have told them off, taken their names down and reported them. As apprentices, they should know better that they need to follow the rules. I know that if the CEO of the company were there, they would have gotten a harsh warning.

Because there's nothing wrong with a tow truck driver hitting a high schooler in the face. I hate it when people take their menial shit-jobs too seriously. The secretaries included.

This is what I hate about how my education system is shifting around me. Not everyone should be on the same playing field, it's almost more unfair to the kids who are disadvantaged. Regardless of who is driving kids know who has and has not. Once they exit academia and enter the real world there won't be a situation where the hedge fund manager has to forego his Gulfstream because his maids can't afford one.

I think it has more to do with ridiculous car crowding around a school, and maybe the kids parking in designated spots.

Having everybody bus to school is a bad idea. It leads to overcrowding, and when some people are overcrowded they might just lose it. Having kids drive to school is a good idea. It cuts costs of transportation for the school and heightens the person's ability to be independent. Mind you I think that the kids should still follow the law and not do stupid things like park in illegal zones.

It doesn't matter who swung first

couldn't disagree more.

oh and while i'm at it, tow truck drivers are scum. i don't care if they're doing their job or not.

i don't agree with that at all..a man punches him in the face, what's he supposed to do, just stand there? and his friends were sticking up for him.

I concur.

If you punch a grade 12 student in the face, at his school, with dozens of other students around...you're going to get your ass kicked. That's just common sense.

Here's a crazy idea. Make every kid who drives a car to school register the plates with the office at the start of the year. If they park in the wrong spot, look up who's car it is, call them down to the office and say they will be suspended if they don't move it.

[sdcopp 1]

Screw the towing, just have the Police issue parking tickets, it is illegal afterall to park in fire lanes. And to help curb this, sell parking permits, assigned spaces if need be.

My HS was in the middle of downtown, so we had really lousy parking options, unless we bought a permit to park in the lots. Never saw a tow truck the entire time, and I only saw a few people get a ticket more than once. Something about the money leaving their pockets or get a friggin boot put on that really motivates people to not be idiots.

Simple solution right there. My school requires all kids to do this and have ID tags hanging in their cars saying they are even allowed to park in the lot as well.

[Portlandman 0]

At my school everyone who wants to drive to school has to register their car the year before they want to park. To help with overcrowding only juniors and seniors are given spaces. You also have a required spot that you have to park in. If you have one incident with parking on campus your tag is removed and you can't get a spot for next year. We almost never have any incidents.

It doesn't matter because all parties involved did the opposite of what they should have done. The school is stupid for letting the parking get out of hand and not punishing anyone, the kids are stupid for thinking they could get away with it, and the driver(s) is stupid for having instigated.

If it were me being punched for insulting a tow trucker I'd call the cops and have every witness attest to the incident.

If the school doesn't turn things around and put an end to all of the illegal parking they're asking for the kids to step all over them.

I think we can all agree, though, that this is more sad and scary than funny.

Naw, this more funny than it is sad or scary.

They are JUST doing their job (except for this incident obviously) and it's sad that you don't see that, it seems that some jobs just get bad reps, a good example would be cops, plenty of people claim to hate them call them pigs etc. but who do you call when you get mugged/robbed or vanadalized? Same with Tow-truck drivers, apparent scum of the earth untill you want their services if some pricks parked in your designated parking space that you NEED for work, sometimes it just so happens that your the prick and it's tough luck.

Pretty sure he should move his car and not be a total dickwad... but that's out the window.

Where are you from? Maybe 1 out of 10 kids at my old high school drove everyday.

- never had overcrowding problems, the bus service just increased in response

- lots of cycling

- I don't get where you're going with the whole independence thing, I just find it funny that a person's ability to be independent is tied to being able to drive to school

Disclaimer: My school wasn't exactly in downtown Manhattan, but it wasn't exactly the suburbs either.

Kid was being a dick and got punched, sounds like justice to me. Not saying the driver was right, but at some point acting like an asshole is going to have negative repercussions, too bad the kid probably didn't learn that. There's no problem with the kid getting going back after the driver, the problem is other people jumping in so they could gang up on the driver.

[bdj 0]

Every student involved should have to suffer the consequence's just like in real life. I think big measures should be taken such as not being allowed to graduate if they are in grade 12 or expulsion if not. If you act stupid then your going to have to pay for it, just like the tow truck driver will have to.

[Race4LastPlace 31]

so getting pissed when called out on doing something illegaly and the aftermath is funny? This is sad. The administration should have done more in the beginning to keep something this serious from happening, but do these kids think its okay to just park wherever they want. The obviously dont deserve the priveledge to drive if thats the kind of stuff that it leads to. Also so all the kids just jumped up and ran out of the classroom? sad...

they get texts saying "tow trucks are towing" or something like that and go to move their cars. And this was right at the end of a period so there were alot of people arriving at school for the next period. to answer a different post, they didn't all jump up to "gang up" on the driver. it was more to help out their friend. i mean the fight was kind of uneven before they jumepd in

[Rylake 0]

What's sad is that kids have become such mouthy pussies.

You start a fight and your friends jump in = Pussy.

Mouth off and don't expect that you might get cracked in the head = Pussy.

Kids need to learn some respect for both their parents and people of authority, you may not like it all the time but being a complete dick will definately get you nowhere.

Grow the up, and act like a man...and by the way - real men don't talk sh*t, and real men can't run fast.

My high school had student lot. It cost something like 80 bucks to get a permit and it was first come first serve. Once they ran out of permits for the year you just couldnt get one unless someone moved away or lost their privledges to park by being a shmuck. We never had any problems..
