Don't you hate when you do people a favor, letting them borrow equipment, and they leave it a mess? And waste supplies by doing something stupid that they've been reminded not to do?
DH let a friend from our car club borrow the sandblaster. The friend used it over a week ago, although he may have used it this weekend, too, while we were gone. Today DH went out to the garage to do some stuff, including blasting some parts. The sandblaster was full of grease and crud from Friend's parts; there was sand all over the floor where the catch bucket had broken and Friend hadn't bothered to put a new one down; and there was white sand mixed with the other blasting medium.
UGH!! Some people!!
Gotta love what DH did, though. He took the gloves out of the cabinet as if he had been cleaning it (which he was), and then hid one. So it's not even usable. Which means that if Friend comes by to use it again, he'll have to talk to DH first. And DH is going to tell him to buy new sand and blasting medium to replace the batch that was ruined.
OK- I feel better now. I just had to vent about people who borrow things and then don't treat them with even minimal respect.
