This is so upsetting. Why do people like this exist?
I don't understand why people this retarded are allowed to go out and interact with society, much less have a job. It's so upsetting.

Looks to me the tow driver knows what he is doing. Is the car not going to a junkyard?
Not been around tow trucks much? |

You're right in saying that I haven't been around tow trucks much, however, that driver just seems extremely negligent. Yes, I understand that it's going to the junkyard anyway, but, there's also a certain level of common sense missing here. I could understand if the car was stuck in some awkward spot and that was the only way he could get it out, but the owners could have easily moved (or pushed if it wasn't working) the car to better position it for him to load it onto the bed. I don't understand why he wanted to work harder instead of smarter. |

In the tow truck industry, hand pushing non-op vehicles is frowned on. They let hydraulics do the muscle.
Good thing the tow driver didn't go sideways on you. Taking video of their work and making negative comments could spark hostility towards you. |

The person shooting the video says " I don't know what the hell he's (the tow driver) doing, but he's doing it wrong" .. What a stupid statement!
Obviously, the tow driver couldn't get the right approach angle because of the road, so he lifted and moved the vehicle a few feet to get the correct angle. The person shooting the video is the idiot in this instance.

He could've done that simply by having the owners move it themselves. I don't care about what's "frowned upon" in the tow truck business (come on frowned upon, seriously? It's towing, it's not rocket science and I don't think it's that much of a prestigious job). He would have made his life much easier. I honestly don't know why he didn't, it's only logical. |

That tow truck driver knows exactly what he's doing. It's the ass shooting the video that doesn't get it.

I apologize for my ignorance on the subject matter, but why is that fine? I understand the car was scrap, but would he have treated a new car in the same manner?
