Anytime I pass anyone where I live I always wave a friendly hello but get looks like, ''grrrrrrr.....get outta my way freak.'' It boggles my mind because why the hostility? We are all trying to make some honest money but there is no need to be a jerk about it. The first time I scrapped by my parents and was going down one road a guy waved a nice extended friendly hello type wave and I was so shocked at the difference in attitude I was floored! I haven't met an angry scrapper yet in that area. I've talked to many and exchanged tips/questions with them and one lady even remembered I'm the one who's mom goes with her! maybe the mentality is just the area being scrapped? I dunno. *shrugs*
