The ethics of borrowing things.

[GonzoStyle]

As far as loaning out stuff and borrowing stuff, I am personally strict with stuff like that. Me personally I rarely even like borrowing stuff from people, i'm not even talking about money but stuff. Me personally I am very giving and sometimes too trusting. As far as money, the very few times I did borrow money, I couldn't wait to repay my debt, the very first dollars I got before anything I would pay back my debt, it's just a question of ethics and appreciation. I almost never learn though, the countless people I loaned money too who then either disappear or just fade out and I never get my dough back or stuff.

I loaned a couple dvd's to a co-worker of mine, it's been 4 months now. I loaned her 2 dvds, now me personally when I borrow say a dvd, it's back in a couple days.. tops.

4 fuckin months this cunt has my dvds, the first couple weeks I aint say nothing, I figure well maybe she's busy, etc etc. Then its over a month and I kinda hinted and asked "so did you like the movies?" She said she aint even watched them yet but she will, so I let it go and figure fine. Then I got caught up with some major loans at work that I was trying to close and it was over 2 months now and I figure enoughs enough, i'll tell her someone else wants to borrow the dvds. She says she'll bring them in, then day after day after day after day goes by and I would walk in and she's the receptionist so I see her as soon as I walk into the office and i'd ask day after day "where's my dvds?" and she had an excuse time after time, "I forgot", "I wasnt home", etc etc.

I recently took some time off and I come back a little while ago and it's like a running gag with her now, first day back I says "wheres my movies?" and she laughed and said she didnt know I was coming back but her sister was gonna pick her up after work and bring the dvds, I said fine.

Closing time and I am ready to go, so I walk up front to see if her sister came yet and the cunt already went home, now I am upset.

Next day she said it was in the car but she was in a hurry, tonight for sure. Closing time comes, same thing. Then she takes a few days off for sickness.

She comes back this monday, I walk in and ask her "wheres my dvds" and she has the nerve to get pissed at me and throws a tantrum. "OH PLEASE HOW MUCH CAN THOSE FUCKIN DVDS COST ANYWAY!!! JUST GET OVER IT!!"

Amazingly, I remain calm and say "whoa, whoa, calm down. It's not an issue of cost, it's an issue of I loaned you something and you basically take my property that I let you borrow cause I thought you were a responsible and nice person and you treat that like shit. So calm the fuck out, ok you forget once, twice, thrice, but after 4 fucking months!!! I'd think you'd remember one fuckin day to bring the movies. As soon as you get home just put them in your purse, put them in a bag and hang them off the door, put a reminder on your cell phone, do something.

She apologized and said she'd bring them in this monday, we shall see but I somehow doubt she will.
