You’re too late when your taxi cab is already jacked up on the tow truck. You had better pull $200 out of your sleeve or start hitching a ride to the impound lot.

Rallying your colleagues eating lunch in Lahore is a waste of time. They’ll never let you forget you’re the new guy who got towed his first day on the job (especially when you try pulling rank on a new hack in a couple years).

Don’t try to reason with the tow truck driver. He’s the lovechild of Dog the Bounty Hunter, Crocodile Dundee and Repoman. He doesn’t negotiate, he only gets paid.
