    You have no idea, I've had guys come in with safes, that they *rolleyes* didn't know the combo, graciously slide it off the trailer, door side up. So, I tipped it to just watch water start pouring out.
    Also, dealt with the guys that have sat there and attempted to argue that the concrete filled 4 drawer filing cabinets where solid metal, hence the weight. *facethud*



    For the most part, most of the peddlers are nice, talk to them with respect, give them the option of take it with them or deduction and everythings cool. But its the douche canoes that really test ones patients. Trying to take items out of the pile that a previous person dropped off, while stating the multimillion dollar mega shredder / pickers won't reclaim items.

    But I basically deal with the big boys now. It's nothing to see 800-10,000 lb deductions on fubar loads.
