Lender beware!

Thankfully, I write my first name/last initial on everything I take to classes. At the end of one class, the woman next to me grabbed one of my rulers as we were packing up (she'd asked to use it and I reluctantly said yes). I nicely said it was mine: she claimed it was hers. I showed her my name on the ruler. She still almost didn't give it back!

If I hadn't been paying attention, my ruler would have gone home with her. That was the last time I said "yes" if someone wants to borrow anything from me at a class.

And I keep an eye on my rulers. They are too expensive to replace.
