    Crazy people

    Sometimes there are just crazy people.
    A guy called me wanting me to pick up his ford explorer.
    No engine, no doors, no axels. Nothing just the frame.
    Then I tell him he is to far away. (Two hours) Then he starts swearing at me insisting that I i pick it up. It sounded like he was drunk.



    So I hung up on him.
    God is great, scrap is good, and people are crazy

    Its better to be scrapping and thinking of God than sitting in church thinking of scrapping

    Like the guy that wanted to sell me his used keyboard and mouse and when I explained to him there was not any real value there, he cussed me and says "your just looking for something for nothing". ???? Did I miss something,,,

    People don't realize that a washer doesn't have a huge value. They think we will get rich off a tv or a freezer. They just don't get it!!!
