Borrowing

TLDR: Borrowing
The forum thread discusses the behavior of individuals who frequently borrow items from others, such as pens, textbooks, and calculators, rather than purchasing their own. Harry initiates the discussion by expressing frustration towards people who seem reliant on others for essential items, particularly in critical situations. PGen98 suggests that financial constraints might be a reason for this behavior, though Harry counters by implying that the individual in question is not financially needy. Safeinsanity labels such individuals as "parasites," suggesting they manipulate others' sympathy to get what they want without facing rudeness or consequences. WhippedCream and Nomad contribute by describing these borrowers as lazy or habitually dependent on others for various items, from money to clothes and stationery. Sincerem reflects on the lack of ownership and dependency culture observed during school times. Overall, the thread reflects a mix of sympathy for potential financial hardship and criticism of what is perceived as manipulative or lazy behavior. There's an agreement on the negative impact of habitual borrowing, with some users distancing themselves from people who exhibit these behaviors. Harry also inquires about editing a post, to which safeinsanity responds with technical advice.

I have seen certain people who never buy anything. They will look for a pen while in class, textbook and god knows what else. There was a person who used to beg for a calculator from others when it was a critical piece. In simple words, the person is saying that you give your critical equipment to him and make yourselves worthless during the session.

Why is it so compelling to beg all the time ? Not buy one on their own ?
 
Perhaps this person was broke and couldn't afford to purchase these things? There are a multitude of reasons people beg for things, it's very hard to say specifically why.

it is not exactly " begging ". If you refuses, there is a good chance you are a marked man. But I haven't witness any rudeness in public

Very true

Now that I see the typo in the title, I am so glad you people didn't make fun of me. So nice of you. How I change the spelling ?
 
In my experience I've found that most of the time people who want to borrow something are usually lazy because they can't be bothered to source something themselves. However I suppose some don't mind taking things knowing they don't need to take care of it as it's not technically theirs.
 
That's just a habit. I hand many friends in the past, who used to burrow everything from money to clothes and even books and stationaries. Now, I have stopped befriending people who are always begging
 
Its very awful to acknowledge that, some people doesn't like to own a particular thing, feel sense of belonging for once. Our life can't depend on another, during my school time I see lots of them who loves borrowing.
