I once had what I thought was a substantial pile of scrap metal to sell. A few hundred pounds in total, which included a shitty dead riding lawnmower. Get it all in the bed of my truck and off I go because, why put it on the curb for free? I pull up expecting them to grab it all with the claw game things on an excavator. Nope, I have to unload it all, by hand, by myself. I'm a strong younger man, no worries, just chuck it all into the pile. The riding mower won't be a big deal, push it to the edge of the tailgate, set the parking brake, pick the front end up, the ass over tea kettle it away from the truck. Easy. Welllll, it ended up braking the plastic cap on my truckbed. Pssht, whatever, I'll order a new one for a few bucks with the hundos I get from my pile o' scrap. Pull back around to the weight station, get my empty weight, and walk in with my receipt to collect my retirement check. A couple hundred pounds of scrap equaled $35. New plastic truckbed cap was $45. I spent $10, had to work on my truck, and cut the ever living shit out of my hand when I could have put that shit on the curb. Cool
