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!

Seems like every time I loaned sumpin to Wille it came back broke, cut or dented. Broke my ratchet. Used it on the lug nuts of his 4x4 that prolly had never been loose since new (a long long time!) Had to put a 4 foot cheater on them & jump on it to break 'em (he said!) One Proto, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) gonzo! Loaned him my 'lectric shrub pruner with a new 100' cord. It came back in 3 spliced pieces. The last thing was the
bar-b-q with one of those dome lids (the 'spensive kind)... drove it back to me in the back of his pickup w/o tyin' down. I lived on a steep hill & it fell over. Nice big soft ball dent in da lid.
Oh well, he's the kind of friend that will do anything for ya at the drop of a hat so ya jest gotta love 'im.
(but that was the last thing I loaned him!) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
