In theory, lending one's belongings means:
for the lender, share their pleasure
for the borrower, discover new vistas
trust the borrower for them to take good care of it
run the risk of never seeing the object again
In practice, when you lend something, you
don't get it back:
every other time
once out of five
once out of ten
don't tell me, it drives me crazy
One never sees again what one lent because :
the lender forgot who he lent the object to
the borrower forgot who he borrowed it from
they don't speak to each other since Superbowl
the borrower's home was destroyed by a satellite fragment
You have at your place:
one or many CDs that don't belong to you
one or many DVDs that don't belong to you
one or many books that don't belong to you
one or many Rembrandt that don't belong to you
Bringmeback is a pad :
made of 120 pages with one huge sticker per page
made of 120 stickers spread over 10 pages
which costs only 10 €uros, that is less than the last CD you'll
never see again
with a nice cover on top of everything
When you lend an object, you write onto the
Bringmebacksticker :
your name
the borrower's name
the description of the object lent
your mother's maiden name
When you peel off the Bringmeback sticker
from it support after you filled it out :
you realize its back is coated with light-adhesive glue such as
the one on Post-it® notes
you realize that what you wrote was copied onto the voucher that
remains in the pad
you think your handwriting does look great
you quit making observations and you stick it onto the object you
lend
When you get the object you lent back, you
:
peel off the sticker easily from the object, even from a book
update the pad by crossing off the corresponding voucher
store your Bringmeback pad in the medicine cabinet
screw up the sticker thinking of you tax collector
If you see at a friend's an object with a
Bringmeback sticker on it , you :
don't borrow it as it doesn't belong to them
read on the sticker when you can get a Bringmeback pad of your own
wonder how they found work with such a ridiculous handwriting
realize they know your tax collector personally
