Regardless of which category they fall in, the ones I hate are the people who "rummage" through trash, opening every box and bag, making a mess, and giving everyone else a bad name. I call them "raccoons" because after they go through a neighborhood it looks like several attacked your trash.

So Rummaging Raccoons it is! I hate them as well! People blame others for there mess. I have always said don't **** where you eat!

The "I will wait to break down everything until I get to the scale" scrapper. I got stuck behind one at the non-ferrous scale the other day. She was having a yard employee break down radiator fans in her truck. Shaking my head...

Who are the people that you meet while scrapping?
smith & wesson if you are going about it the wrong way
Rural scrapper
Guy who's a scrap god but has burrowed the truck, trailer, and probably the gas to get the whooping $100 worth scrap to the yard.
Arm chair scrapper, knows everything bout scrap even tho he/she has never hauled 5 pounds of scrap in their lifetime, especially love this one because I work with this kind of guy.
And lastly, fair weather scrapper, once he/she thinks there's a killing to be made is out stealing or over paying for any bit of scrap they can find. Often the fair weather guy/ gal is also "that guy" seen driving down the road depositting half the load along the roadside.
Ok, I'm done ranting now.
Btw hobo thanks for a interesting topic to hash out. Have to admitt I'm jealous I diddnt think of it first

Mostly business people for me but I mainly deal with computer stores and recycling centers. But you have to pay to play on those levels so the rock heads dont tend to be around.
Now when I take in a load of steel and heatsinks. Thats a story in its self. Had a guy trying to selll me 2 beat up tin fender flares for $3 last trip
