From an actual Craigslist AD: "You and your truck or trailer need to be on time for pickup and safe with the haul away. If your not able to do a clean load of this or I get the feeling you're sketchy there will be no metal for you."
Is it normal that reading this bothers me? Do I have the wrong attitude and i just need a vacation or is this a sense of entitlement? They are not offering to pay for someone to pick it up - so they are requesting for a free service.
I am the guy that shows up after the 2 no-shows, or if I am the first responder, I am there on time as promised. I even showed up after working on a Saturday (last Saturday) when the roads were covered with sheets of ice in my RWD truck. I understand there are some people that give recyclers a very bad name. Still... no.
I would never respond to this AD, not just because of the spelling or the fact that I am a part-timer and I can't pickup scrap until tonight and I am not going to collect tonight anyway. It's actually seems to be a good amount of metal but I still wouldn't do it.
