As mentioned in the Folkmob rules, asking to borrow someone else's instrument. Grrrr!!!! Friends are one thing, but perfect strangers wanting to use my guitar instantaneously sends me into "If you touch my guitar I'll break your f*****g fingers" mode.

True story: I once loaned my guitar to a stranger and later that night he went home and murdered his father. I didn't know him from Adam's housecat, but a friend recognized him on the evening newscast. Too creepy to suit me. So, I figure that by refusing to loan my guitar to strangers I'm helping to keep the murder rate down.
