monologue
Posted by h.wu4 on November 4, 2014I believe all of you have experience lending things to your friends or classmates. However, not everyone takes care of the things. Today, I am going to talk about my pet peeve that people do not shut down my laptop after they use it and how I deal with it.
Last summer, I was out of the country for three months, and I lent my computer to one of my friends. When I came back and turned it on, it reopened websites she read before. Even though she closed the screen, the programs in the computer were still running, which have negative effects on the battery.
It is an unpleasant experience to lend our personal properties to people who are not responsible. After this issue I always inform people about my preference. Since it really bothers me, I take care of other people’s stuff when I borrow it. It is important to communicate your thoughts with other people. Sometimes, reminder can benefit both sides.
