I know lying is wrong, but if the elephant man came in now in a blouse with some make up on, and said, "How do I look?" Would you say, bearing in mind he's depressed and has respiratory problems, would you say, "Go and take that blusher off you mis-shapened elephant tranny?" No. You'd say, "You look nice... John""

When you do that ^^^^ once with a refrigerator, twice with microwaves, twice with t.v.'s, and 3 times with computers. And can still do it with any other household appliance!
When you ripped off for "paying" $30 for a used computer desk after you haggled em down from $50 cause you know you coulda "found" one if you had just waited a little longer.

You know you are a scrapper when you look up at the sky and say to your self.....Can't like all the space junk that no one wants land in my back yard and maybe put a load onto my truck for me.........

You might be a scrapper when your garage is off limits for parking a vehicle b/c you might need the extra space.

LOL that's my garage - its clean and empty, waiting for the next car or whatever I buy. I like just walking out there to see the open space!!

When you go to chipolte for dinner and you think to yourself. wonder how much that foil is going to weigh after I eat this thing.

When you say things like ---Gas? I don't need gas yet, the light just came on.

If i sit with the seat all the way up and at a cute angle i can get those aluminum ext doors in my car.........Back at home, how in the he11 did i get these in here.
This is funny if its a gas truck or car....you would not even dare to that with a diesel....you can't just put fuel in them and start them back up...you have to get up under the hood to get the truck going again.....
When I am about 2marks from empty....I fill her back up or switch to my other tank (dual tanks)

I run my diesel down till the miles remaining computer says 0 all the time. Then I looked it up in the book that when it says 0 miles left you actualy have 3 gallons of fuel left. Then I go and spend over 100 bucks to fill up the dang 36 gallon tank.
You know you're a scrapper if you snip the eyes off old fishing rods or sift through the burn pile ashes with a magnet.

Run a magnet across the silverware at your inlaws house for your nephews birthday...and the family doesn't even ask at this point

If you were disappointed that the movie TinTin wasn't about metal...
If someone forwards you an email called "car repair fails" and you see at least one on the list that you've done
(mine - tin can exhaust pipe repair)

If you keep a flashlight and a magnet in every vehicle.
If you will walk across your shop to throw screws in the scrap instead of the trash can next to you.
If you run a mental calculation of the time involved in getting a piece of scrap vs. the value every time you see something.
