Friends that borrow things...never to return them!

Every time the man next door headed toward Robinson's house, Robinson knew he was coming to borrow something. "He won't get away with it this time," muttered Robinson to his wife. "Watch this."

"Er, I wonder if you'd be using your power-saw this morning," the neighbor began.

"Gee, I'm awfully sorry," said Robinson with a smug look, "but the fact of the matter is, I'll be using it all day."

"In that case," said the neighbor, "you won't be using your golf clubs, mind if I borrow them?"

The golf clubs were never to be returned. LOL

I really hate it when ppl borrow stuff...I mean it would be ok if they borrow something n den u borrow something... but when it is just a one-way street it gets annoying and fast. I dont understand why ppl don't just buy the stuff that they need. I mean if u borrow something like 15 times from someone... u need it enuf to buy it!!

Oh and whats up with ppl not bringing basic supplies to college? I mean you're coming to COLLEGE so I think it is a good idea to bring umm... i don't know... maybe a PEN?!!! And PAPEr?!! Or what about when you let ppl borrow pens and then a few days later u see that they still have the pen and are using it as if they own it n that makes u feel bad to even ask for the pen back so u just let them keep it. I mean its ok if they wanna keep it...but then they should say can i have a pen, not can I borrow one?

Hahah man, I go to King Edward Medical College in Lahore, Pakistan, and when we bring materials to color/draw for our histology labs, we don't ever expect to see them again lol! Certain kids will borrow stuff from other kids and then hand them off to other kids even though the stuff isn't theirs to begin with. I got kinda frustrated at first but then I realized it wasn't happening to just me so I sort of accepted it and now it just seems pretty funny when I think about it.

eh i've let people borrow pens here to see it hanging out in there mouth like 10 minutes later. Sometimes it's time to cut your losses..

I generally lend people pens and things like that the first time and then just make a mental note as to whether or not they return it. Then I base future decisions regarding them off of that. It's kind of funny because I always carry multiple pens in my lab coat(in plain sight) but if a frequent "borrower" asks if I have a pen they can borrow I just say no. Nobody has ever called me out on it. hahaha

Oh another trick some people use is lending pens without the cap. Nobody wants to carry around a capless pen.

There comes a time when we must all take a stand. I made mine the day someone asked me for a blue-inked pen. I said I didn't have one, and he countered with a very frustrated 'why not?'

Who thought not lending supplies could have such an ugly ending? Chilling story.
