Why does everyone tear stuff up when you let them borrow something?

Or it takes an act of God to get it back.

Their need or desire for what was borrowed from you was more important or urgent to them. Some people are stuck in “me” mentality so they go onto the next “need”. Like it’s their video game and we’re just NPC’s.
So with some people it may not be necessarily intentional just ignorant. While others blatantly are selfish and lack respect for others & their things.
If I can help it I just don’t involve myself or lend money or things. When it does happen I just expect to not see it again and I had to make my peace with that decision when it was made. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this situation. No one deserves to be taken advantage of or be disrespected when you’ve extended kindness and trust.

Becouse some pepole got no respect for outhers stuff, and should not be lended stuff
I can say I did have some good cases stuff come back fine
I also care 10 times more for anything anyone lends me, and gained trust on it, got a friend that lends me an HTC Vive every so often level of trust :)

Me, Myself, and I immediate need and the hell with anything or anyone else.

I remember one time I was done loaning stuff out and the neighbor came over to borrow a propane tank because he ran out midway while grilling. (This is a pet peeve of mine). Always have a second tank, so anyways I told him I didn't have one. Lmao.

Preparedness is paramount. I hear ya !!

[red324]

I'm not an expert on grilling, but why couldn't he just take off whatever was on the grill l and run to the store 8 minutes away to exchange out the tank?

[red324]

Seems like less of a hassle than asking the neighbor to unhook their tank

Everyone you lend to*

Lack of respect.
