Do your math before picking up scrap metal

its common sense that the act of picking up the scrap should not cost more than youre going to make out of it.

and then its another whole different story when guys have this attitude:
"im sorry, my time is worth more than that"
when the truth is that the guy is just sitting on his fat arse doing nothing & he would at least earn something by going to pick up even small amounts.



the only time i will pick up something that not worth even the fuel it costs to go there, is when its from someone who regularly gives me stuff & they want something gone urgently.
