Quick question about a position I'm in. Won't mention which person I am, but here's the summary:

Person A: Owns a lens
Person B: Borrows the lens, breaks it and offers to replace.
A: Declines, no need.
1 year passes
A: Now has need, requests the lens be replaced
B: Agrees, though circumstances have changed and it's better for person A to buy and have the money refunded by B
A: Does nothing
5 more years pass
A: Another request for the lens to be replaced

Do you think person A is unreasonable to request the replacement after 6+ years? (ignore the fact that lens prices are now 30% higher :))

I would say my answer depends on if you are person A or B

I would say that person B has acted in good faith - however, 6 years is a long time and whilst person A may be disgruntled a lot of time has elapsed since the last request. at no stage did person B not offer to replace the item.

I personally think person A has left it too long - and it would be totally at the discretion of person B.

This is in no way legally binding ;) :D

A has left it too long tbh and the original declination of requirement to replace negates all future requests imo

Cheers guys, that's sort of my feeling too.

I'm Person B in the above scenario. I ruined a friends lens when I dropped it along with my camera into the ocean back when I lived in the BVI.

Sounds like person B was being quite reasonable to agree to replace the lens after 1 year when person A originally told person B there was no need to replace. To then not replace the lens and 5 years later ask again seems a little rough on person B. If it was me, I wouldn't feel that I could reasonably ask for a replacement after such a long time as I had already been given the opportunity and not taken it - but everybody is different so it's a tricky one.

Edit: Seems like person B has now been unmasked! But my thoughts still stand :)

Guessed you were by not stating that in the opening details ;)

pardon the pun but too much water has passed under this metaphorical bridge... they had their chance and then had a second chance...

Gone now :(

Don't think I can make that either. Was it going to be Sat/Sun again?


Is the normal plan

Honestly I'd say that it's a bit cheeky after five years to ask again. After the first decline and the year had passed and Person A asked again yes I would pay up but after so long it's a bit late.

NOTE: Written before reading which one you were :)
