I like to borrow Dvds and books and make a point of returning them quickly, but I don't like to lend out books anymore because they don't seem to come home, or they get stained and I tend to buy 1st editions in small printings (Dennis McMillan Publications for example) that will have some value.
I feel kind of bad about being an asshole in college (circa 85) this girl loaned me a demo tape of this local band 5 balls of Power (members went on to LES STitches, Radicts and Scissorfight among others) and for some reason I decided I needed the original and wouldn't give it back to her and tried to trick her by duplicating the demo but she didn't fall for it - she was a nice girl but smelled funny, she kept a gerbil in her dormroom. Of course the demo is long lost now.
