Towing

The pet peeves of a female tow truck driver Please don’t hit on me I’m here to tow your car Not to date you Don’t pass me your phone number folded up in cash I won’t call you EVER Being groped while doing an unlock isn’t sexy It’s assault And I will assault you with the dolley bar on the back of my truck Please don’t try to help me do my job I have been trained to do this You haven’t If I’m not there in the time the dispatcher told you Blame my dispatcher I only got the call 5 minutes ago Don’t hover over me while I do my job My boss wouldn’t have sent me if he didn’t have faith in me I don’t need a babysitter Don’t give me pointers on how to do a recovery You parked it poorly It’s my job to un-park it If you call us to change your tire Let ME change your tire If your ego is that fragile, don’t call us for assistance It doesn’t impress me that you know my boss Everyone knows my boss And no, I’m not giving you a discount When you see me working on the highway Slow down and move over like the law states I want to get home safe too

These are my daily struggles. Putting it in words, and letting it all out makes it easier to live with.
