I managed to turn another thread OT. This time it went from returning things that don't belong to you to a discussion on various types of animal shi*t.

Less is more in that department btw.  :P

I've had that sort of thing happen a couple of times, once with a real expensive theater history textbook.

Now I go out of my way to avoid either lending or borrowing.

Wishes:
That's a good point Jeff Wrangler regarding borrowing. I have had people insist I can borrow their DVD etc. I don't like to take things from others. I feel if I want something, I'll get it myself and I always turn down offers to borrow.

I have had this happen where I'm discussing a movie with someone at work, they have the movie and insist I borrow their DVD. They even bring it into work (even after I had said no I don't want to borrow the movie) and I have to, as nice as I can, turn down their offer and not take the DVD. This may sound strange but it works for me.  :)

MaineWriter:
I have decided that the concept of "lending" doesn't exist (except with libraries). If I lend something to someone, I figure it is never coming back...I didn't lend it, I gave it. So, ergo, I never lend anything I want back. If it is something I can live without, then I will lend/give it, and not think about it again.

A few years ago my son lent "Shakespeare in Love" to his drama teacher, much to my dismay. Of course, it didn't come back. Lance is now out of high school and we'll never see the teacher. I should just bite the bullet and buy another copy.
