On the weekend, we were at a huge 4wd beach in
sydney (you might now
the beach i´m talking about), and guess what? an asian bogged in a pretty scary "don´t move or roll" situation waiting for
the beach patrol to get him out. 5 mins. later he arrives, happened to be that the rescuer wasn´t a beach patrol, just some guy that made a living out of unbogging cars, this guy charged the asian $330 bucks to pull his car 50mts from where he was. (I still wonder where he got the number from) After 30mins negot. the guy puts hands on the job.
Ok, where is the funny bit? you might be asking yourself.
Here it goes, the rescuer got bogged himself jajajajajajajaja, so, as nice people we are, we offered to pull the rescuer out of his embarrassing situation, (been nice once in a day doesn´t hurt) Now... who was the real rescuer then?
Talking business... in this case, don´t we deserve part of that load of money? It´s not that we were after money, we were absolutly not, but nobody offered. :-)
Anyway, where have you ever seen that you pay to get unbogged by just snatch-straping/winching (unless it involves a movie kind of rescue), we have never charged people to give them a hand to get going. That is what we are all there for, give each other a hand, while you are travelling, having a day out or whatever you´re doing.
What would´ve you guys done?

All hands on deck !
A "Don't move or roll" situation is life threatening.
Even if he was a f.wit for getting into that peticular situation. As long as me and my family and property are in no danger, it is my responsibility in this society to place LIFE first and lend a hand.
I would get a f.wit out of harms way and then abuse the F out of him on safe ground later.
If someone was cashing in on a bad situation (which sounds the case). And the Asian was out of harms way, as tempting as it would be I'd be a "sucker" and help them both out.
It all comes back in the end. KARMA.
You didn't miss out on money here, you gained a free ride in the future when you will need it.

imusty, nobody was in the car when we got there, that might explain a bit. They were sitting on top of the dunes just waiting for this guy to arrive.

And the "GUY" DID arrive.
And the "MAN" got him out. Pat YOURSELF on the back.
That's the beauty of KARMA. You REALLY get back what you give.
You can't fool it.
This tow creep is $330.00 richer yes.
BUT for what?
Somewhere, somehow, someone's gonna stich him up the same. WORSE. Just when he's down an out, someone's gonna kick him in the guts an it's gonna bleed bad.
That's my sermon today folks, thanks for listening. Forward cheques to...
