What kind of a jerk <em>wouldn&#8217;t<\/em> lend a friend or loved one a DVD or Blu-ray, right? The problem is that movie collectors tend to have a bit of OCD. We like to keep our stuff organized and know where it is at all times. Most of us have also experienced that dreaded scenario where some deadbeat friend never returns a borrowed flick, thus depriving us of it forever. That sort of thing is just unacceptable to some of us. <\/p>\n<p>I rarely lend movies out. When I do, I need to know exactly when they&#8217;re coming back. Honestly, it even makes me a little twitchy that Mrs. Z recently took a TV box set off my shelf and brought it out to the living room. (Sorry, hon!) The thing hasn&#8217;t even left the apartment. I know right where it is, yet I feel a strong urge to put it back on the shelf where it belongs. <\/p>\n<p>Do you have these problems?<\/p>\n<div id=\"polls-165\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t<form id=\"polls_form_165\" class=\"wp-polls-form\" action=\"\/blog\/index.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"poll_165_nonce\" name=\"wp-polls-nonce\" value=\"1de31911a6\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"poll_id\" value=\"165\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Do You Lend Out Movies from Your Collection?<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"polls-165-ans\" class=\"wp-polls-ans\"><ul class=\"wp-polls-ul\">\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-964\" name=\"poll_165\" value=\"964\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-964\">Sure, I lend movies to friends and family all the time.
