As he seemed to be so troubled with the unexpected occurrence, you were moved to help him and decided to lend your favorite vehicle to him however after few days, you saw that he didn't bother to take a good care of the vehicle you lent him. Dirty, missing one rear mirror, scratches all over and many other. In short, your vehicle needed a service. Later on, you found out that your friend misused your car for pleasure instead of using it to make a living. How would you react to that? Would you regret your action in lending your vehicle? Would you question the irresponsible act of your friend? Would you be angry? Disappointed?
