[quote=Anonymous]Some of these responses are so strange. Why are some of you so offended at the thought of someone replacing or providing money to replace a possession of yours that they've damaged? I've seen this elsewhere on DCUM, and I truly don't get it. It doesn't make you seem poor (if that's what you're worried about) to consider asking for compensation, and it doesn't make you morally superior to act like a ruined laptop is no big deal. Would you just shrug and say "oh well!" if your DC had spilled soda and ruined another kid's laptop? The roommate should have offered to at least pay for repairs, and if it can't be repaired, they should at least offer to help replace it. If the roommate cannot afford to replace it, that's another situation entirely. But it's not beyond the pale to expect someone to replace a pricy electronic that they've ruined.[/quote]
