We've had a lot of rain recently, and when I was mowing along our fence line adjoining the road I hit a very swampy spot and utterly buried one of my tractor's rear tires. Since my truck was in the shop I called the local tow place (ten minutes away), and a massive tow truck (the sort of thing one would use to tow a bus) showed up. It took the driver under five minutes to winch me back onto the road. He called the owner, who said over the phone that the charge would be $300 since they sent the biggest truck they had. I pointed out that that the truck they sent was massive overkill and that I'd told them when I called that it was only a 5000-pound tractor and they could send anything with a winch. I offered $100 (which was still a ridiculous amount of money for what they did), and the boss took offense and said in a really annoyed tone, "Never mind, you don't have to pay anything."
The driver (who ended up with a super-generous tip) told me, "I'm glad you pushed back, as the boss is a royal pr***."
But it seems crazy that the boss was so annoyed he'd rather take $0 than $100.
