| | Posted: | | | | YESok - last time I sorted my collection I was missing about 30!!! DVDs -  I asked at work, if anyone could have them - and: yes, one college had them for several months  and yes - there's another good friend of mine, how never returns them without asking - but why not lend DVDs? last dvds I bought are below 10.-€ It's easy to do little favors for friends - and sometimes I get chocolate or potato chips in return!  |

| | Posted: | | | | I don't have problems lending out my collection to most of my friends and family.
Only once did I have a problem - tiny scratchs on a couple of them. Most people probably wouldn't have noticed but I'm obsessive - besides my mother did it, what could I say?!
The only person on my "no" list is my brother - 6 kids, 4 of them under the age of 8. Need I saw more? |

| | Posted: | | | | I had to go with "Other"
I don't lend movies as a general rule, unless it's somebody I've known for decades, and I know I can trust them completely, but I will loan my stand-up comedies. | | | They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care,

| | Posted: | | | | Went with "other" as well. I am quite selective with whom I lend to. Very few people actually. People I know will have even more care with them than myself because they're not theirs. I could have called them best friends, but I could not use the best friends options as I'd never ever lend a DVD to the vast majority (entirety?) of my family  | | | | With every passing hour our solar system comes forty-three thousand miles closer to globular cluster M13 in the constellation Hercules, and still there are some misfits who continue to insist that there is no such thing as progress. |

| | Posted: | | | | I've learned my lesson on lending. I had a co-worker who swore he'd take care of my copy of Transformers the Movie 20th Anniversary edition. After about 3 weeks of pestering him to return it, I went to his house and took it back. I got home and the disc wasn't in the case. I called him and he'd left it in his eMac at our office. Trouble was, the computer in question had just been pulled earlier that day for replacement. I had to go and wade through all the other eMacs we'd pulled, find his and power it up just to get the disc out. No more lending for me.  | | | | I was wise once; when I was born, I cried - Welsh proverb |
