[quote=Anonymous]OP made the assumption that everyone should have the same attitude as she has.  She would not value a pen, therefore, no one should and they should be willing to loan it out at any time to any one.  However, the general rule is that you should never loan out anything that you care what condition it comes back in.  I've have freebie ball point pens that I've loaned that someone had greasy hands and got dirty grease on.  I've had such items dropped and broken.  Accidents happen and as such, anything that I care about will not be loaned out.  I loan out many things and am generally courteous and polite and as helpful as anyone, but sometimes, it just isn't worth the risk.  This sounds like what the pen-owner determined.  OP's attitude is overly entitled, which is what has gotten the DCUM collective ruffle up.  He wasn't able to loan the pen, but you were.  What harm was there?  It's completely different from a situation where there were people waiting and this man was the *only* man with a pen and he was holding up the line because he wouldn't lend it.  [/quote]
