I know we all borrow stuff from our family and friends with the greatest intentions on returning everything but most of the time, that's never the case. I have also been on the guilty end of borrowing items forever. With the lighting speed of technological advances taking us into the future, there should be no questions in the ability to take a picture of a borrower these days. Even if they're just borrowing a book.
Most times it just gives you positive options later down the road. If you lend anything and nothing gets returned, you probably won't lend to that person or group of people anymore. At the very least, having these options can often times save friendships or ease tension between family members. This super life hack is using your everyday device to take a picture of a each person that borrows something from you. Unless the borrower is super responsible and by now you should have identified & know all of those people in your circle. If not, you're in the wrong circle. Remember that credit systems were designed after human interaction and not the other way around, so people who usually don't pay back the money they owe most likely won't bring your stuff back.
Lending can get tricky when dating so if you're a guy try not lending her anything unnecessarily. As men we're suppose to be there to build a woman's life up anyways so buy her all new things. If you must lend her something like your favorite Batman t-shirt and if it really is your favorite t-shirt, taking a picture at least ensures you'll remember which one to buy again.
Conclusion
Taking pictures of the people holding the stuff they borrow can either let you know what to ask back if they don't return it or let's you know what you need to buy again. Either way, make sure this super life hack helps you save friendships and not the other way around.
