ps, that sounds like a less than delightful experience. I think I would have told him to leave and call AAA and request another tow truck. At least you took the high road and gave him a tip though, not sure I would have gone that far and I'm pretty easy going.
(I had a roll off dumpster delivery on a job years ago, the driver got out of his truck with a bad attitude and started complaining- I promptly told him to leave my job site and not come back. I got on my phone and started to call his office to cancel our services. His attitude made a 180 and he did what was needed. Funny thing is that started a great relationship that lasted for years. He would go out of his way to help me out. When he showed up on our site there was always coffee for him, etc.)
