    jacka$$ scrappers

    Its Summer so everyone is checking the school dumpsters. I'm in the dumpster and then another scrapper pulls up. I spot these old microphone/speaker comboboxes with wire clearly visible. I throw them outside the dumpster and keep searching. Then the other scrapper says to me "that's not scrappable" then I'm like what are you talking about?-the yard I go to accepts stuff like this. he still says its not scrappable. i finally shut him up by telling him that I have 9+ years of experience scrapping. Must have been a noob who does not know about e-scrap yet. Like really mind your own business.

    Keep in mind that I am a young scrapper learning new things every day. And yes I have been scrapping since I was 4 so no need to be a jacka$$ just like that noob that I ran into that Summer

    If he is 13 and asserting himself to work, I give him high praise. He could be like most teenagers just sitting at home playing video games. The social graces of conversing with others, being patient, giving good advice, etc., all come with time and experience. Most of us at later stages in life are still learning those things, so give the young guys a break and help them by being a good example and through encouragement.

    Son, calm down. Learn this. Everybody has an opinion. Doesn't always make them right, doesn't always make them wrong. Do what you know and at the end of the day see which one was right.

    Now - If that had been here. Dude would have taken them and left before I could have gotten out of the dumpster.
    You can make money 2 ways.
    1 - Do what others won't.
    2 - Do what others can't.
