"Neither a Borrower or a Lender Be"....

[+ friendofsheila]

I disagree. I think that a good friend deserves a reason. Just saying "no" seems cold and insensitive, but that's just me.

 

Then how about, "I'm not comfortable lending these bags. I'm sorry."?

lol...You're funny. I just don't see the big deal in spending an extra 20 seconds to give a complete explanation. Are you really that short on time? I think I'll stick to my way, and by all means, you should do it your way...

Steamer trunks? Who’s buying steamer trunks? Who’s still traveling by steamer? And they certainly won’t fit in an overhead or beneath the seat in front of you. Lol

I know someone who's a Louis Vuitton salesperson. She said you'd be surprised by how often people buy steamer trunks, despite their exorbitant cost and questionable practicality. She said the buyers use them for their private jets.

Not short on time: the complete explanation gives the borrower leeway to argue. I'd rather not give them that leeway.
