Lest one fails to return or fails to receive back that which is lent - mostly money but might be anything of value. So a thread to moan about what you might have lost (or forgiveness sought for failing to return anything or damage done).
For me - a number of LPs (1960s, so vinyl of course) given into the safe-keeping
of someone, who played them to death, so as to leave many with annoying scratches and other damage - basically ruined. Only happened to be the first five Bob Dylan albums so not worth much now possibly but they were to me at the time! And I did take care of my records then - just out of respect. Fortunately he was so preoccupied with these that he failed to damage the rest - only about 60 LPs then - so I was grateful for not being away too long - and his narrow musical taste. Still, I did have some luck - like being given the Spring album (NE 6) by a friend - which is worth a lot more now, and I even offered it back but this was refused. I bought the Dylan albums after going along with a mate to the 1965 Albert Hall concert in London, so taken I was with Dylan. And I went the following year to the Freetrade Hall concert in Manchester, where someone shouted out the 'Judas' remark. This concert was bootlegged - which I have on CD.
More minor occurrences have been - having workmen use my power tools and wrecking them (moral: do it yourself), and another who failed to return some old LP catalogues - which were not available to buy again. I seem to have conveniently forgotten my misdemeanours.
How about you? Still fuming?
