Lending

Have you ever lent something to someone and its come back damaged ?Many years ago I lent my brother my little boys plastic mac , to put on his daughter as it was raining when they were ready to go home.He never offered it back and when I asked for it I found it was torn.Being my brother I didnt complain ,Many years later friends borrowed my 'wet & dry' cleaner , when they returned it it no longer worked properly.Again I didnt complain

Years ago I lent a cassette player to someone, I had to ask for it back. They opened the door to an under stairs cupboard and there it was in a pile of "rubbish". It was broken of course. Lesson learned.

Yes I lent my carpet shampooer to a pal and it came back totally blocked up with her red carpet! I cleaned it all out which took me ages. Later she asked to borrow it again so I told a white lie and said it was broken

Re: Lending

Lent money which was never returned , foolish me
lent a hoover to friend it was returned uncleaned
Ex husband borrowed an old electric drill from a friend and it burnt out , he had to buy a new one to replace , annoyingly he already had one in his garage .


I should have remembered mum's words , never a lender or a borrower be

I never ask to borrow , and I won't lend again
