People are so GODDAMN worthless these days...

[DainBramaged]

I'm a HUGE stickler for protecting my original CD's. I treat other peoples sh!t the same way I treat mine.

I drive around four hours a day so I often go to the library for audiobooks on CD. Well, FVCK THAT. I'm sick and FREAKING tired of getting a book that plays fine for a while and then hopelessly skips. Not just one track, not just one DISC, sometimes two or three CD's are WORTHLESS.

It pretty much renders my time pointless if I'm going to have to go and rent the goddamn book just to figure out what happened in chapters 11-28.

I seriously wonder if these morons intentionally grind the discs under their cowboy boots just so that it annoys the hell out of someone else. I mean, COME ON!! HOW THE FVCK DO THESE CD'S GET SO SCRATCHED???

PSA: If you are renting an audiobook on CD from the library, PLEASE TAKE CARE OF IT! Just because it doesn't COST you anything doesn't mean that you should throw the CD's on the floor of your 1979 Pinto so that it can slide around for the remainder of your three weeks.

Please, PLEASE have a little responsibility.

That's so 1999. We now use, "A paper man cut into shreds by his own pair of scissors."

Get with it. :roll:

It's really stupid, too. All you have to do is put the cd's back in the case when you are done. There, was that so hard?

"you scratched my cd!"

I hate it when people borrow movies from me then when I tell them to give it back they say they did.....

I feel your pain. I keep a bunch of my music cds in my car (used to keep originals) and everytime I tell my gf to change CDs she picks it up gripping the bottom side. Then I tell her to be careful and she gives me response with attitude saying she is. :-/

I treat ur crap with respect, the least you can do is do the same...sheesh

I got my cement mixer back on Saturday after lending it out (and not getting it back for like a year) and it was slightly egg-shaped (from getting dumped over and hitting the ground), had dried concrete inside it and in splatters all over the outside, and the paint was ground off of the legs in a bunch of spots from sandy hands dragging it all over the place. :| :| :| Goddamnit, if they had spent five hundred farking bucks on it, they'd have treated it better, but since it was free... We had to take an air chisel to the inside of it just to make it usable. It was in nearly new condition when it left my house.

I just get so angry because the library is such a resource and yet people just abuse it. I really despise some people sometimes.

 

[Bryophyte]

They should allow libraries to keep the masters under lock and key, and to make one copy at a time so they can reburn one when it gets damaged. I do that with my own cds because I have kids who love to use them.

 

[McCarthy]

I hate that too. The tapes were often twisted/stretched and there are dozens of library audiobook tapes with splices I put in because the last person didn't bother reporting they broke the tape.

Then when they started shifting to CDs they got trashed. At this point I get the book, rip it to mp3 and return it. If the discs are so bad I can't get a good rip at least I'm not halfway through a book when it craps out. Heck, there's even one CD at the local library that is a reburn I did because some moron had managed to crack the disc. Copied it, transfered the sticker.

So 10/10!

Rental or borrow discs from the library do suck these days because people are careless selfish idiots. The solution is easy. I rip everything I pickup and copy back to the appropriate disc so I don't have to worry about getting halfway through something to have the damn thing skip.

That sucks. I certainly hope they're going to buy you a new one. But it doesn't sound like it.

You're lucky that they remembered to return it at all

 

[Luthien]

I hate that as well and the library should have a resurfacing machine so if it happens you need to bring it in and have them resurface it so you can play it. Also you can buy a cheap disc dr. to clean it up.

What I hate is lending relatives books or movies and not getting them back for months and months and sometimes years even when they are reminded. I very rarely lend out a movie or a book to anyone anymore because of this. I tell them they have to rent it because of their past inability to return things promply or check the libarary for the book/movie. Of course they think it is harse but if I borrow anything from anyone I promply return it and keep it in pristine condition, and I borrow rarely.

I hadn't thought of this. Honestly, this is a pretty decent solution because I have a mp3 player in my truck and could fit an audiobook onto a few discs that way. :thumbsup:

I have a sizeable collection of movies and I have like 4 friends that always return them scratched or worst they lost the DVD but manage to return the case, but the movies were always scratched when they borrowed them from me, obviously they?re lying. I wouldn?t lend them anything if they weren?t good friends.
