Another scrapper riding my bumper!!

I'm just starting to laugh at whats been happening to me lately with this stuff!

Dad and I were out this past Sunday and we were in an allotment and happened upon another scrapper so as I pulled around him as he was loading stuff I gave him a friendly wave. You know, an ''Hey fellow scrapper.''

He looked at me and help his palms up like, ''what is this crapola?''



Went on our way and as we turned into the next area all of a sudden here he is riding my bumper so close I couldn't even see his headlights. Dad and I are just looking at each other like ''WTH? is this guys problem?''

He rode my bumper through the whole area and when I turned he did too. At this point I'm just rolling my eyes thinking I don't feel like leapfrogging this guy the rest of the day in the next area. I did finally lose him.


I think I'm going to make a big sticky for my tailgate on scrap days that reads, ''I'm scrapping today if you want to follow me.'' I'll just start making it easy for everyone and get the jump on the issue!! lmao and shaking my head at the same time at the weirdness that has become my scrapping life this year.

Maybe he's a friend or relative of the last bunch. I repeat my suggestion that your Dad turn around and point a camera at these clowns - it works wonders to get people to behave. Good luck.

Scrapette, I actually mused out loud if they had put a GPS on my truck or something! Lol!

I always liked my solution for tailgaters when I was plowing snow and had a sander on a flatbed. I'd tap the brakes a couple times. If that didn't work, I'd reach down and flip the switch for a short burst of the sander. Ever had sand flying across your hood into the windshield? Worked every time.

robs, I'm glad you backed off the anger! Would hate to see you in trouble!

I dont think this guy was friends with the first lady I had trouble with, it was way too far away in another county/area. But i was just like, ''REALLY??? Another one??!!'' lol

You forgot "With your host Mike the Scrapper" He'd be all up in that!

I can see the scripted drama at the yard now. He's all "that's dirty aluminium" and i'm like "this dude is a bleeping bleep ripoff artist"

There is a lot of bland, bad food in Ohio. I once had a pizza in Findlay that was made with ketchup. Hamburger in Warren that I couldn't eat. Some ghastly thing with cinnamon called "Skyline Chili" in Cincinnati, which I tried eat with some beer called Hudy Delight that tasted like dishwater. Terrible food makes angry people, ready to fight. I'm Irish, so I have experience in this. You might run into this problem wherever you go as long as you're in Ohio. Awesome state to visit, generally terrible food.

It's just a theory, but if I'm right, there's not much you can do about it. Sorry.

If you didn't like Skyline you might want to get your taste buds checked.

One thing I do know about Ohio is that it seems to be the state for people driving right on your butt. I got rear ended three times when I lived in Cincinnati. Fortunately, the law is on your side if you do get hit.
