I hate lending stuff out!, Does anyone give a rats a$$ Options

O.k I'm a little pissed today! I lent my brother my new to me truck this morning. He had to make a trip to the dump. No problem thats what truck are for. So he loads up then puts a tarp on it so nothing will blow out. But the dipshit straps it down on the outside of my truck bed. I got some lovely scratches down to bare metal from it blowing around. The bungee cords against the side sure did a job too. He didn't happen to notice the damage either. I called him & he offered to pay. So he does feel bad about it & doesn't mind paying to get it fixed. Of course he is family so I'm not gonna have him fork out the $5-800 bucks the shop would charge to fix it! :toilet:
I'm used to truck being used & getting dings here & there. So I guess the damage doesn't bother so much. It is the fact that its there & because he didn't think enough in doing it. I mean its just flippin stupid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) So my real rant I guess is why don't people use their heads when they borrow stuff. I mean accidents are going to happen now & then. Just a flippin pisser when somethin so stupid happens!

Im on the other end! The only cars we have are the 3 p cars, and my moms Galant, My grandfather has a new chevy (was at sundays swap meet) and we use it for haulin the stuff around, but last swap meet, the stupid metal peice on the tarp was flapin around and made 2 nicks. He was very nice about it, but my dad didnt want to ask him again for the truck. I needed to make some money so I asked (my grandpa isnt likely to say no, but the "enthusiasm" he has when he asks isnt very helpful for asking again). So this time we got smart and we bought on of those black stretchy things kinda like a net. Put it over the load, tied it down on top of the jumper cables, and the stuff was very solid. Nice walmart fix...
