It works pretty well with people who are street-smart enough and really care about other's possessions. I once trusted my purse to a friend of a friend because I had to go on stage to act. When I returned, my purse was hanging from her chair, unwatched. So, it's not about honesty, it's about people really caring about your gear and being able to look after it. Environment matters, too. That time it was a crowded place. A library it would be different.
- thingie 16y agoWell, it had already happened to me, that someone asked me to look after his stuff and that he will be right back. And then… time went on. And I had my own business and couldn't wait (On a train, you have to get off, for example, that gives you no solution). What then? I've agreed to watch your stuff for a minute, maybe two, maybe even a few more. But not for half an hour. I would just leave, what else can I do (ok, ask someone else to carry on with the duty, silly).
- lelele 16y agoYes, one should consider such an issue too. Thanks for sharing. However, in my case, she was still there because she had been watching us play and afterward we went to a pub all together. I just wanted to say that either she didn't care or she trusted too much other people.
