Either you've told that story before, or I've heard a few cases of that happening... that is terrible haha. Chuck Rock just adds salt to the wound. It could have at least been Joe & Mac.
I've never enjoyed lending stuff to people in general. I'm not sure what that says about me, but yeah haha. There have been times, I even traded a friend my N64 for his Playstation for a long time there awhile back before my family got the PS2. I was always extremely cautious though and I didn't pamper my friends about it, but I kept tabs on them. "Are you finished with it?" etc, so they wouldn't forget. When I borrow games or something from a friend, I make sure that is entirely my main focus, because it's not mine! So I want to finish that game up and get it back to them.
Luckily my roommate and I function the same way. We lend some stuff sometimes, but not often, despite living in the same place! I think we'd both just rather own the thing ourselves at this point. Funny this came up though since him and I were talking about this recently, he's got this friend of his that simply can't finish games, and is the type of gamer who has been playing GTA5 for years or something. So anyways, I guess my roommate let the guy borrow Until Dawn, and he's had it for months. That is not a long game. Then his friend had the audacity to ask if he could borrow another game, while he still hasn't finished with Until Dawn.
... that would really boil my piss.
Nowadays I don't really give off the vibe that it's an option at all outside of my roommate. I let someone borrow Asura's Wrath not long ago, he barely played it, and it really triggered my shelf OCD seeing that slot open for so long. I can't be having that!
Something similar to this, is taking a bunch of games to a big party. I absolutely hated the possibly of my controllers or cartridges getting mixed up with other people. I cringe thinking about this now, but I did end up writing my name on the back of some controllers and games so I knew they were my copies haha.
