Excuse Me, Can I Borrow Yours?

This is a common polite request among people especially students.

Do you lend someone you don't know any of your stuff? What if s/he did not return it back to you? What are you going to do? Do you leave them or you talk to them about it?

I don't mind lending them my stuff ,but why if I lend them anything, they DO NOT return it back to me? Why do they take it as if they did not borrow it? I mean not all of them (7aram), but few of them do so.

Really.. I give them what they want even if I don't want to. Because, as I see it, it is immoral to tell them "No, I'm sorry; I can't lend you mine." And because I didn't use to say that not even know how to say it in a "subtle way", you know. I am sure that there are a lot who do as I do. But why do we keep lending this kind of people although we know that they borrowed something from us before and never returned it? Why can't we refuse lending them? Do we leave them take what they want from us while we ZIP our mouths and do nothing to it?! I just don't know why do I do this. Maybe you (READERS) know why?!!

You know what, I have lent 5 pens in one semester and never returned back to me, can you believe that!! And I couldn't tell them "I want my pen back" because I thought that one day they MAY remember by themselves and return my pens to me.

Ok, let's say I forgot to tell them to return my pens ,or they forgot to give them back to me, but the QUESTION is.. Can't they notice that these pens do not belong to them WHEN THEY PUT THEM IN THEIR HANDBAGS AND TAKE THEM OUT TO USE THEM AGAIN ?!!!! I'm really amazed by this kind of people. If I take my friend's pen or anything else from her, I return it to her at the same time. Unless I forgot to return it at the same time, I keep it till I see her and give it back to her.

Once I lent a friend of mine my book, and I expected her to return it, but she didn't and I even didn't ask her about it. AND IT'S JUST GONE.
Another friend asked me for an other book and I gave her. She gave it back to me, she didn't forget about it. But when she gave it to me, it was TORN and WITHOUT its cover. I was like "whaaaaat!!! Is this my book that I gave you last semester?!!! Maybe you're wrong because this is not mine!!!"



Whyyyyyyyyyyy???? What the hell is going on with these people???? I take good care of my books even my friends books that I borrow from them ,so why don't they take good care of mine too.

HOW RUDE!!
