Default Rental Abuse

How many of you abuse your rentals? I am curious and be honest when voting. I know must of us may not take as good care of the rentals as we do our own. But how many people actually put finger prints on them or toss them up on the table when your done?

I will admit, I sometimes toss the rental on the table while I watch the other... But I see, some strange crap on some disk. That are not fingerprints and hell if I am touching it...

So how many people do the shame? I will vote Accidents Happen, since I do leave them out of the case on the table...

Step brothers on blu ray, and it was scratched to hell, it kept pausing and skiping scenes so I took it out looked at the bottom, and was amazed how badley ruined the disc was

I handle them the same way as I handle mine and would expect other people to do so the same way. There is nothing more irritating than a movie not playing or not playing properly (like skipping when its halfway through).

And mine are going from the case into the player, back into the case!

It's well worth the $20 a month... But you get some that are scratched to hell or someone was eating something greasy and grabbed the bottom of the disk...

yeah, I do Blockbuster too, that way I can switch them and get new releases when they come out, netflix always took 2 weeks to get a new release, so I switched.

I take care of rentals cause I hate when they don't work.

I take good care of everything...mine or not. I have received broken and scratched up Blu's from Netflix though, not my doing but very annoying to have happen.

+1. Nothing pisses me off more than to rent something only to have it covered in fingerprints or completely scratched.

I take care of rentals the same way I take care of my own.

Is it fair to say that the culprits are most likely to be kids/tweens based on past observations.

I handle disks with ease.

First off, I use a pair of tweezers and put the disc in a disc cleaner. I've seen the type of people that rent from Blockbuster, and I've seen the movie Waiting. I trust no one.
