This is my only pet peeve. It is not always because they do not want to or won't buy a tool, it is because they don't want to be bothered bringing it to class or UFO and they know I will bring mine -- then I cannot use it because someone else is using it all day. I have several ruined tools because others did not take the same care with them that I do.
If I borrow something, I treat as I would my own and I return it quickly. Because that is what I would expect from others.
