Looks like she was. Again there are two sides to the story. It would appear that the towing company clerk made some pretty snarky and uncalled for remarks herself and that McHenry was merely responding in kind. But the towing company, knowing who she was, doctored up the tape and made it public just to make her look bad (and maybe dissuade her from even thinking about filing a lawsuit as well). Since McHenry is good looking everyone was quick to believe she was a drama queen, an ornery self-centered shrew by nature, didn’t they? Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful.
Lesson Learned: It is not tactically smart to get into a pissing contest with people like towing company clerks or food handlers in a fast food restaurant, no matter how riled up you are and how justified you might feel in giving them hell. After all, there are just way too many ways that such people will be able to get back at you on the spot. Ways that you won’t like at all and won’t be able to do much about! This is one of those times when discretion is the better part of valor. Besides if you blow your stack many people will believe that you will forget about it later when you clam down, and decide its no longer worth the bother to make an issue of it. Whereas if you keep your cool , not only will you not say anything you might have to apologize for later (which will serve to confuse the issue of who is truly the aggrieved party), but the other side will know you mean business and are out for blood when you come after them later. Then they will likely be more anxious to settle on terms favorable to you. Like the saying goes, revenge is a dish best served cold.
