ARGH and a half

Add this to the neverending list of annoyances recently...today was my first day with the new car battery and I had planned to get gas on the way to work. That didn't happen and I was late as it was. So I was driving home, after dealing with some very, very loud kids in both the classes I taught today, and started to feel the symptoms of running out of gas. For the many of you that probably don't know, my car has a broken gas gauge and stops at a quarter tank. So I knew I had to get gas and got off at the first exit I passed. I'd never been off at this exit, and there was no gas. So I had to drive probably about 5 miles on a tank of nothing that had already stalled out. Back onto the beltway and off at the next exit. I stalled out on the ramp to join the main road at the exit and had to go right. Once I went right I knew it was a mistake, but you don't have any choice when you're almost out of gas. I ultimately came to a dead stop at a stop sign at a four way stop. This dude gave me a shove through the stop sign after instructing me how to drive a car with no power steering. I informed him politely that I was aware of how to drive cars with no gas, etc. (etc. meaning mufflers dragging on the ground, exploded water tanks, messed up starters, etc.). So I come to a stop on this grassy shoulder near this weird wooded produce stand and call AAA for the 16th time in the past 72 hours. They are polite as always and I sit and wait. Then the guy who will actually be coming to me calls and is super rude.

guy: This is So and so from AAA.
me: Hello.
guy: You know you have to PAY for this gas right?
me: I'm aware of that.
guy: It's seven dollars. Do you have it?
me: Yes, I have it.
guy: It's in cash right?! I don't take checks..
me: Yes, it's in cash.
guy: because I have to pay for this out of my own pocket.
me: okay
guy:I'm on my way
me: bye.

30 minutes later he finally gets there after calling me again and harassing me about the street names I had given him (which were 100% correct). I believe during that conversation I said something like "I understand that, sir" in a condescending voice because I had to go ask the produce lady and make sure of the names. She was happy to complain about them with me after I hung up. He showed up and then tried to tell me that I had told him the wrong name. That is impossible because I told him myself twice and could see the sign from my car. The he blamed it on AAA. Shouldn't a tow truck driver know how to find common, busy streets without me holding their hand? All in all, I was not happy again with AAA. I don't think I ever posted about our experience with them this weekend and at this point I don't think I can handle opening that can of worms again. Anyway, I made it home fine, but much later than I wanted to. Luckily, project runway is a repeat tonight and I can go to bed at the normal time.
