I came out on top

First I would like to thank you guys for the info on smf. I'm a small time scrapper in a place where the competition is pretty heavy. With you guys helping me with all your post and comments ect.. Iv near doubled my cash flow. I went dumpster diving last I was beside a building witch I scored two microwaves as I was walking to my truck this guy was yelling and cursing calling me a bum and a low life crackhead I gave in to temptation turned and just as I was about to give him what he had coming I noticed that he was standing beside a dumpster as I got closer to him he ran off and just my luck there's 2 tvs 7 VCR/DVD players, 3 towers with monitors and a small pail of cords and wire. It made me laugh all the way home. Just thought I'd share so you can get a laugh as well.

He was guarding the stash. LOL

On this one street I cruise down lives a family with a few kids...now I know they pick trash/scrap from time to time, I've come up on them loading/unloading. Not consistantly, but normally when the college lets out and picking is ripe.

Stopped one day across from them a few houses up as their neighbor was putting a few things out, guy comes out on the porch with a beer in his hand and 2 kids beside him calling me every low life name he could think of....shouting..."I WORK for everything I have..." yadda, yadda, yadda.

Loaded up what I stopped for, looked him in the eye, gave him my best bi*$chy smile, and waved pulling out.

Best thing is, all he had to say was "hey, I was going to grab that" and I probably would have said okay, no problem and left.

People like that make it all worth it to me sometimes can't wait to see if there's any clowns out tonight
