Why do some people lose/throw away game manuals?

Please let us know how you decided to punish your cousin. I hope it was severe.

Well, he didn't get to play my games at all anymore. I'm not really the type to beat up on toddlers.

I am if you need some help

This was so long ago... You're 13, right? My cousin is older than you.

I have 99% of all the manuals I had as a kid. The only reason I would lose a manual is because I would take it out to read it and it was get misplaced somehow and lost forever.

Some of my game manuals are older than 13. Also, they're kept in the box, which make a nicer stack than the slippery plastic game case itself because I could not afford shelves.

I hope there's a missing game manual heaven.

I found a small piece of it. It was in the back room of a Play N' Trade.

The reason why kids lost/threw away manuals is that they were naughty spoiled kids. I told my cousin when he got playstation 1 that his lil bro would damage the discs. I don't like how people show video games for sale in great condition, but the game is lying on the dirty floor.

Like this for example

While I was preparing supper earlier my neice said "Hey look my library book just flew away!" I turned around and it was laying in the front room. "I'll make sure it can't get away again" *stomp*

That bugs the crap out of me too. I either take pictures of discs in the case, on a quarter, or on a foam donut from a CDR/DVDrR cakebox.

I laugh when people claim a game is in mint condition and have the CDs lying on the ground.

When I was ebaying games I'd usually angle the case so the disc / back insert could be seen and turn the manual around so the condition of it could also be seen. Multi disc games got kind of tricky..

I once lent out a collectable, mint, complete, valuable, copy of Albert Odyssey for the Sega Saturn to a good buddy of mine because I fixed a Saturn and gave it to him. He gave it back sans the manual. I panicked and he was all, "Relax it's just in my room and I'll give it to you tomorrow." That was 13 years ago. I keep getting random yearly emails from him declaring, "Hey I found your manual! I was moving and came across it....I'll mail it to you..." I got fed up and had to scour ebay for YEARS and spent $15 on a mint manual...

NEVER lend out your good stuff.
