when is to much to much

I don’t lend anything to anybody I don’t trust 100%. Even then when it comes down to money issues or damage you just never know. I hate to say it but if you are not willng to loose it don’t lend it out. That being said don’t let him get away with damaging you property. When it comes down to you having to take money out of your pocket or inconvienience you than it is too much. Hope this works outh in your favor in the end.

I feel for you I’ve had similar experiences where if they at least said I screwed up can we work it out would help. But it it’s a different world now . When I was a kid I was taught to return anything If borrowed in as good if not better condition than when I borrower it.

Lenders no more for me they always bring you things back with something wrong with, people have no respect for others.
I don’t borrow and I don’t lend even family.

What a shame Robert. Once you get it fixed back to satisfactory condition I doubt if you will be loaning it out again.

I’ve got a practice: I give things back in better condition than when I got them.

I wish it were contagious.

I think it sounds like you need to talk to a lawyer. Unless the friend you thought you were helping is worth the hassle. If that’s the case, then you will just have to suck it up.

Repeat after me, I will never lend out my things again. No you did not go too far. If anything you probably did not go far enough. I would not pay for the labor cost either. Good luck.

Sorry to hear of your bad luck. I have a policy of never lending out tools.

I did lend a PC sander to a neighbor down the street once. I wasn’t using it and he needed to finish a bed frame. I asked him for it about 3 months later and he said he hadn’t got to using it yet!

After that, my policy went into effect. Not that he damaged it…it was fine. It’s the point. If you can’t afford a $40 sander, then that’s why they make sand paper…!

It’s a shame you got screwed over like that. It’s the Rodney Dangerfield theme anymore…’Can’t get no respect…’

That is like lending a so called friend your pick up truck with a 1/2 tank of fuel and they return it empty. Never ,Never again

Robert, Remember, no good deed goes unpunished.
If they want to borrow a screwdriver, have them hop in the car with you and take them to HF and help them pick it out. Let them pay for it. They want to rent your RV, fine, leave a $10,000.00 deposit. Better yet, take them to the RV dealer and leave their lousy butts there.
God I hate people like that.
As for the holding tank, you might try filling it with water and dump in about 4 boxes of Rid-x. The lazy kid left the drain open and the crap solidified under the toilet. Been there, done that. In about two weeks, you should be able to dump it and use a high pressure nozzle to keep it going.
Ninety percent of the time, when it is your fault because you helped them, they are on drugs anyway and these are not the kind of people anyone calls “friend”.
I hate to hear about things like this. Especially to such a nice person as you. Every meth head I’ve ever met thanks they are the worlds greatest electrician. God knows what he did to the wiring. I’m thinking that if the brakes wouldn’t release, he wired them to a light circuit. Sue the idiot. You can get up to $7,500.00 in small claims court.
Good Luck, Buddy. Rand

Oh – boy he wood have been in big trubble if he had said that to me
it deffently sound s like his father didn´t raised him to respect other people and there things
so two possibility´s for him sew him or the money right tommorow with a big excuse for hes behavier

the last we don´t talk about ( but I know what I wuold have done)

if the freind can´t see its resenble in this then you have to dump him sad but true
