I was settling in for a quiet evening when we got a phone call from a friend - her car had died, and her husband needed to take the kids home - so could we drive out and get her home after the tow truck arrived? No problem, I just had to clear the debris from the front of my car and go. Her husband drops her off here, we wait for the tow truck to call with the "20 minute warning" (they called with a 45 minute one instead), and headed to her car

And waited. Actually, that was our fault - we looked at the time and discovered that we had arrived early, and they were pretty much on time. That's when the fun started though. You see, her car needed to be in neutral, but the car had just stalled out - so it needed a jump start so that we could move the steering wheel, put it in neutral, and get the car on the truck. Except... they couldn't find the battery in their truck:

That's the towers, trying to find the battery. I eventually offered to let them use my car. That worked, and finally they got the car up on the truck. Good thing too, because their theory was to just drag the car up - and since the car is an all wheel drive, that would have done real harm.

It's so nice to get real professionals :/
