Pat do you ring a bell when you reward that behavior. ( I wont go into how pat gets his sodas when he is working upstairs in his house.)

I told my wife about this thread and her reply was not only would I not want you to loan her the trailer if she brought it back damaged and did not offer to pay or apologize or anything. I would be mad if you offered to pay for the U-Haul next time she needed to move.

I had a friend who had a community trailer. I took him mine to fix when I wrecked it and borrowed his a few times the two years he worked on it. I broke a taillight once or twice and had to replace them. Another friend borrowed it from him and bent the hitch where it mounts to the ball. He bought him a new one but the owner did not get around to replacing it he just straightened it out and continued to use it. I got tired of trying to mess with the bent hitch so I borrowed it one weekend and bought a new bulldog hitch, all of us that borrowed it chipped in on it. Another guy we worked with helped me get the hitch on and new safety chains. I took it back to the owner and told him I had problems with the hitch again but I fixed them permanently this time. He thought I had broken it worse and said well I have the other hitch here we can just put it on. He went out and saw the new bulldog hitch and safety chains. Felt nice to help someone out that is always doing for others.
