You know, if I drove someone else's car over a curb, ruining their tire, I'd offer to pay for the new tire. Apparently I am so unusual in my view

of how we should treat the belongings of others.

It's crazy to me. Nobody ever gets to drive my cars ever again after the events of the last week.

This is bullshit.

And now we return you to your regularly scheduled airhead.

do you need us to persuade them to open their wallet? -- nm - the human tater tot Aug 1, 14:47
about a year ago the children of the friends of her family visited my neighbour. they borrowed her car, drove it 300 miles south, broke it, left it - mafic Aug 1, 14:41 12
- In my case, it's not like, burned out brake light or a wear and tear issue. It's a popped tire. I mean, they knew it happened - Amanda Aug 1, 14:49 11
  - in my friend's case, they basically rode the clutch to death, then left the car a 5 hour drive away, parked in a campground. -- nm - mafic Aug 1, 15:05
  - well, the truth is that you shouldn't have let them borrow the car with the tire being so close to popping. Of course it's your responsibility. - sycor Aug 1, 14:50 2
    - Ha. Ha ha. One wonders if this is what he's thinking. -- nm - Amanda Aug 1, 14:51 1
      - In fact, you probably planned the whole thing. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 1, 14:53
  - fix it and send them a copy of the bill with a passive/aggressive note attached -- nm - the human tater tot Aug 1, 14:50 6
    - I'm so torn because its my *friend.* I don't want to destroy the friendship over this. But really is it already? - Amanda Aug 1, 14:53 5
      - *ding* -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 1, 14:54 4
        
        Actually, I remove myself from this part of it. I am like the Jerry Seinfeld of friendships. - The Dark Spawn Aug 1, 14:56 3
        
        I'm pretty like this too. I can't afford to lose a close friend. But I can't afford to loan my cars to them anymore either. -- nm - Amanda Aug 1, 14:59 2
        
        You could always send it and say, "... so you owe me my next few drinks/dinners when we go out." - The Dark Spawn Aug 1, 15:02 1
        
        or, you know, a envelope full of money -- nm - CQ Aug 1, 15:06
Wow. I would agree. - spamlet Aug 1, 14:40 4
- They changed the tire. So at least I got it back driveable. But yeah, I really expected it'd be fixed. - Amanda Aug 1, 14:50 3
  - So they left the donut on it? - spamlet Aug 1, 15:00
  - Or! Or!! "do you want a ride to the car fixer so you don't have to wait around and then stench of tires all night long." - Amanda Aug 1, 14:57 1
    - They could have had your soul as well! -- nm - spamlet Aug 1, 15:01
