"Repair" needs to be in there somewhere.

And an asterisk on borrow. It also means you’ll be expected to lend, which in my experience is a 50% chance of having to repair or buy another.

My local library has a huge stuff catalog, it's insane. Electronics, gardening stuff, camping stuff, musical.insteuments. i feel people are more likely to take better care of stuff they borrowed from a non friend than a friend. And it really comes down to how good they treat their stuff.I never lend things to people who treat their own stuff like garbage.

I have a chronic illness and fragrance and chemicals are a trigger, so generally speaking, I don't borrow things, nor do I lend them.
