[quote=Anonymous][quote]The people who do this won't chime in on here that they do it because they have no idea. They don't keep track of their own stuff or yours. They have no idea what's in their house. They don't think like us. I had one in college I called the black hole... [/quote] Well I'll take up your invitation and cop to being one of those people that have a black hole of a house. But that actually doesn't explain the OP's friend's behavior. I would never *use* the lent items. That implies I have [i]kept track[/i] of them! If I actually knew where they were, then I would put them on the mantel. And then forgot again and let them collect dust for another month. And then 3 mos later, when you likely have little use for them anymore, finally remember and return. Then feel bad. Lunch on me (again). There is also privilege going on, as another PP pointed out... I lend stuff out all the time and it is a PITA to keep track of so I never follow up myself either.[/quote]
