Terrible, I know.
Breaking others' things e.g. Kindle etc. and not replacing them is bad, so is abusing others' things that you can't replace/mend. it shouldn't even go to the point of replacing and mending. One should be careful with others' posessions, and should not abuse their generosity.
I am very precious about my things. I don't care how close the friendship is, I do not borrow/utilise others' possessions unless its absolutely dire. If I ever have to, I'd take extra care of it, and return it in the condition I borrowed. I don't borrow out my things to others either, specially my books. I have lost a lot of precious books in past when people have either ruined them, or not returned them at all. I can't deal with it any more. My Subaru was only driven by me and the ex-miester. It was just the once when a rogue partner of a friend took the steering wheel and thrapped it, got chased by the coppers, and got done for getting 120mph out on the bypass. He got what he deserved HAHA.
My Passat is only driven by me. Whoever sits in it gets told that they can't put any heavy bags on my leather seats, and there's strictly no smoking and no eating in my car. If I become "billy no user mates" for my rules and regulations one day, I don't really give a damn.
At work too, people (mainly university placement students) take out laptops and projectors without much respect for them, because they haven't paid for them. I have put my foot down to ram it down people's throat that they need to value things that others have paid for. Its very annoying when you find the leads missing, lens caps broken and laptops outside their cases.

Keeping in the spirit of the thread, what really irks me is people that slam doors
Pees me off no end. It doesn't happen very often but when it does it's maddening. Is it beyond the realms of comprehension for some people that a car door does not need either pulling/pushing with all one's might to close! Especially an Impreza!

I hate lending things to people, but at the point of hand over i always say, look at it, i expect it to look the same when i get it back, if you break it or it breaks itself, it's yours and i expect a new one, agreed?
This is sometime met with a strange look, then i say, if i ever borrow anything off you the same rule applies.
This avoids opps sorry it broke, and the wrangling/ wriggling that usually accompanies such situations.
If they don't agree the item stays with me.
I very rarely borrow things off people, i'd sooner go out and buy whatever it is, because if it breaks then i have to buy a new one anyway.

This type of thing makes me so annoyed. Whatever happened to good old, I'm sorry, I will replace it for you.
My Son has got his first car and gave his mates a lift on a recent outing. One of them manged to break the door handle when he was getting out of the car. He laughed and said something like "oh, sorry mate, I have wrecked your door". That was it, no offer to repair it nor nowt. Ok, it's an oldish car, but it's my Sons pride and joy. Glad I didn't meet the kid, I would have smacked him, hard
