I have a pretty big dvd collection and my friends just think its fine to take one and bring it back and get another. Personally this would be fine if they came back in the condition I lent them out in. It has come to the point that I lend a disc out and it is coming back in a scratched condition. Year or so ago I just said Im not lending anything out but then I though that was being a bit stupid. Even though I tell them not to scratch them and what not they just dont listen. This is the case with my ps2 and xbox games as well. Just frustrating that they dont respect property that isnt theirs.
Anyone else hate lending things to friends?

I lend things to my friends because they are responsible and I trust them to take care of my stuff, and they do same with me.
But then they aren't teens either, they all respect other peoples property.
Now, when I was young and if someone borrowed my stuff and not take care of it,
it would be last time they borrow anything from me.

depends on which friends. not all the people i know are treated equally.
My friend that i've know for the last 18 years borrows dvds and games all the time. I don't really care. Hell i lent him 50 bucks and totally forgot about and when i went to pick him up, he had his computer on and noticed a txt remineder to pay me. Good person.
Another friend lives around the corner and i've known her about 10 years. She comes every few months to hang out and romp the dvd collection.
Other friends? ill badger and harass.

Usually when my friends borrow something from me it's a torque wrench or timing light or something. I don't really care if it gets scratched.
LOL, I should try that, eTradeBank is only paying me 1.8%.
I loan CDs and DVDs to a couple of friends that I can trust, but in general I don't.
If they are historically that bad, I'd cut them off, tell them you stopped lending them out because they come back scratched and you don't know who did it...
Then they'll either promise to be real careful or drop it.
Also, whenever I 'lend' something to a Friend I consider it gone. If they don't bring it back, well, no more lending to them.

i hate lending to friends who are cheap skates. i have a decent dvd collection (100+), and if they dont download it, they like to borrow off me. and they take forever to return, and its not in the same condition too. im pissed coz i paid $15-$20 to see and own a movie, yet they pay nothing to see the same movie. but now i dont lend to them often, and i have high demands when i do now like only 1 at at time. they originally took 3-5 off me and 3 weeks later, they said they havent watched them. so now i ask they take 1, and have it back within 1-3 days. sooner the better. and since these friends are cheap, there is absolutely nothing i can borrow from them.
then i also hate when i buy dvds, havent had time to watched them so i put them on my dvd shelf, my roommate sees i get a new dvd and watches it before me. i get home and they are finishing the movie. its a pet peeve how they watch something before me when its mine. i like being the first to watch or play something that is mine. so now if i get a new dvd and havent watched it, i just put it on my desk so they cant use it till its on the shelf, and thats not after i watch it first.
but girls are different. they seem to respect my stuff. like this nice girl whom i work with, i let her borrow upwards to 5 dvds at a time. and she is quick with watching them and returning them in the same condition. she is no cheapskate, therefore the benefit of sharing is nice here since she shares her stuff and hooks me up with free stuff too.

What pisses me off is when my roomate beats my Gamecube games before me by devoting hours to it and playing during my prime playtime hours, knowing that I am not enough of a jerk to make him quit in the middle of the game.
Don't lend you things out. I can ruin friendships/relationship because the anger will build. If they want to see it that bad they can come and watch it/play it with you. Don't feel mean, because you are not. You will only have to keep replacing your things, in which case you should just buy them one when you buy yours.
Its hard to just stop lending them stuff though. If I say no they will ask why and if I tell them they scratched something the last time they will deney it and it just puts negative vibes in our friendships.
