sharing

Tried lending/sharing in college, mainly clothes. Gave that up after about one semester as new leather gloves came back with cuts, Aran sweater back with red wine stains, etc.
Tried co-owning electric hedge trimmers with good friend. After each of us using them twice, he decided our 16 feet of hedge was too heavy use, of course, his 20 bushes/trees were okay. Sold the trimmers to him for our share of money spent.
I've found it safe to share with family, and occassionly with a neighbor who needs a tool for a short period of time. As a rule, not sharing keeps us happy, our neighbors friendly and family still on speaking terms.
