Returning things
« on: October 17, 2007, 01:22:05 pm »
Don,t you just hate it when you,ve lent something to someone, say a book, and they take ages to return it? My son lent a game to a friend about 10 days ago and it still hasn,t been returned. Every time we go round their house either no one is at home or they are ignoring the door. I,ve just posted a note through their door asking for it to be returned. I,ve also told my son to tell his pal to return it tomorow as soon as he gets home from school I,m so furious. why are people so damn rude and inconsiderate?  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Call me selfish, but I do not loan items at all. (except family) I lent a video to a friend once, when I got it back the cover/box was all mangled. Her child got a hold of it was her excuse but my thought is: "put it somewhere where the kid can't get it. Take a little better care of it because it does not belong to you" Same thing with books. I am very easy on my items and my read books still look like new.

It's kind of hard, you don't want to teach your child to be selfish but as you can see not all people are very considerate and/or considerate of other peoples property.

I hope you get your game back and do be careful about who you loan to.

I hate for anyone to break the spin on a book. One night my brotherinlaw (the one I liked) stayed over and teased me that he was gonna get up in the night and start cracking the spines  :laugh: :laugh:

I loaned my original Star Wars VCR tapes to a relative. (you know those are collector items fer us Star Wars freaks (considering how Mr. Lucas INSISTS on changing the films every other week...)

anyway, when he gave them back, there were roach feces all over the boxes!!!  :P :P no way to get all that off....

Oh God! Yuck!   :P

What does roach feces look like? Isn't it like little pellets? God, it's making me sick. I can't bear to even think about it.  :P

That's a terrible shame Jess! And it was an extremely rude and inconsiderate thing for him to do to you.  >:(

I did it again, didn't I?

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

 ;)  :D
