Tow truck drivers have an abnormally low number of fucks to give on a good day so this tracks.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago

A tow truck driver once decided for me that a failed hood release latch on the side of the highway wasn't an issue that needed towing (he flat out refused to tow my car even though I specifically called them to tow my vehicle, and asked him to tow it to the nearest dealer).

He "fixed" it by cutting a bunch of holes into my bumper to attach zip ties through and then ducttaping the remaining gap closed. His genius solution made a 100 or so dollar repair (that would've been covered under warranty as I learned later) a several thousand dollar repair that required a new front bumper, new grille, and a bunch of paintwork. And a new hood latch of course.

Zero fucks to give seems generous in my experience.
