O/T - Loaned my ATV (Having armchair second thoughts)

[Sandman]

I typically don't lend anything to anyone. You see, I'm cheap! The way I see it, is if it comes back busted, sure they'll pay but it will never be the same again if it's serious. In turn, I don't borrow anything, I rent it.

I don't take any chances with arguments, losing friends and/or money. Everyone I know understands this and don't ask.

To re-enforce this, I did lend my ATV to my 64 year old father in law last year. How bad could it be right? Everything he owns is destroyed by my brother in law. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Two flat tires and covered in mud head to toe, and a breather box with mud in it. Couldn't tell the color. He was suppose to go trapping with it. Where, under the swamp?

Never again!

I hear what your saying....my take on most things and maybe I should change it is "Ill give ya once chance to *&#* me.....you'll never get another~!"

Cheers,
Robin

well said robin its too bad things like this happen to generous people like yourself it just ruins it for everyone else. treat something borrowed like its your own i used to think was a god motto but after seeing how some people treat thier own things maybe that one needs to change too
