generating that kind of bad karma just before leaving to Iraq can only result in one thing.

one time
i left a bunch of nice stuff with a neighbor for safe keeping to make sure it didnt get stolen while i travelled east...who said "no problem" and the S.O.B.
had a yard sale and sold it all. You "think" you know people...but you rarely do.

Sorry about the tent!!
I loaned my mower to my neighbor. He ran over the pull cord, put it back in my garage, didnt close the door, cats pissed over everything (strollers, bikes, etc.
Sumbitch never even said anything or offered to fix anything. I'd really like to throttle him, but what good will that do? He'll still be an irresponsible a$$ and I would be the hothead who flipped over a broken pull cord.
Some people are just (your favorite curse here)...

Being the good guy it seems you always get screwed. When I sold my old boat to a distant friend he asked me if the stands came with it. I said no but you can take 2 till you get your own. Those things last a lifetime and aren't cheap. Well, never seen them since, it has been about 2 years now.
You hate to be the bad guy and say no but in the end your the onw who gets shortchanged, it s*cks.

I had a neighbor that borrowed an axe from me. About a year later I needed it back. Being the politically correct guy I am, I never asked for it back but instead asked him if he had one I could borrow thinking he'd remember and give mine back. Wouldn't you know it he gave me the axe but asked for it back a few weeks later. He honeslty thought it belonged to him!
Lesson learned.

That same rule can also be applied to coworkers.And what make lending to coworkers worse is you have to see these guys everyday.

I was in my neighbors garage once and saw my shovel. I said.."hey!! thats my shovel!" He said, no it isn't I have had that shovel for years!... I said I know its been missing for years, that is mine  ! He said, How do you know it is your shovel? I said because it has my last name burned into the handle. Oh...I guess it it yours. Here. 
I hate loaning tools, esp power tools to anyone. You need it you buy it yourself. I also have a trashed power washer that needs to be rebuilt as well because of a loaner. |

Yeah, that sucks. I learned that lesson in a similar way. No I live by these words.... "Neither a borrower nor a lender be!"

neighbors
I help everyone everytime they ask, I NEVER SAY NO. I,ve been keeping my boat in front of my house for a qwik get away after work instead of storing it fifteen miles away. My neighbor across the street asks when I'm going to store it before someone is going to complain because I park it on the street I told him I have the same right as anyone else to park on the street. The trailer is registered until the end of Novemeber. He got mad because his visitors cant park in front of his house. There is enough room for the fire department and large trucks. Yes I have loaned tools to this neighbor and yes he forgets it's mine. I told my son to take him off my XMAS card list.
