Anyone hate when people want to borrow your stuff?

I lost Earthworm Jim 2 and multiple game genies back in Primary School thanks to "borrowing". XD

I haven't done any real trading with friends in about a decade. Borrowing games seems kind of like a childish thing now. Not sure why. Or maybe it's just that my friends and I are into totally different types of games, respectively.

I just hate near the end of the school year. Lots of people (including me

) tend to be forgetful, so I get nervous that they won't get it back to me...

i lent a friend my snes and and legend of zelda a link to the past..what i didn expect was his little brother deleting my save and making a new one over it and i had made it to the dark world (least i think it was called that since i never started a new game after that)

A few years ago I noticed that I was missing 15 or so Sega Genesis games. I went down to my friends house to see if he might have any. He said that he had never borrowed any, but I insisted we go downstairs and look through old boxes, just to double check. I ended up finding 5-6 games down there, he had honestly just forgotten about them and his mother had cleaned them up many years ago. I was still unable to find Shining Force 1, so I went ahead and took Tactics Ogre as ransom until he finds it (which, unfortunately, he never will).

So sometimes people just completely forget, although it still sucks really bad...so I don't let people borrow anything nowadays.

As far as the memory card getting erased....

One day my brother was playing Xenogears, and the screen was getting kind of fuzzy with static due to static electricity building up on the screen. He went to go wipe off the screen, with the controller still in hand. As luck would have it, the static shock went through his one hand, out the other, down the controller and fried the memory card (I know that sounds made up, but it actually happened).

I was very upset, as was he, and that was an accident. I couldn't imagine how I would react if someone erased the card on purpose...

Borrowing RE4 Wii right now and just borrowed Hot Fuzz from brother-in-law today hehe.

Personal rule of thumb for me, don't loan anything unless you are fully prepared to never get it back and not hold a grudge. And don't borrow anything you couldn't pay for on the spot if you had to, in case something happens.
