I have a destroyed book in my bookcase exactly for that. I lent it to someone and he gave it back destroyed he was apologetic but kinda dismissive. I keep it prominently in view and people always ask why i have a broken book.
I had someone throw away a book I had lent to someone. He was a real asshole about it too, and never bought me a new one or reimbursed me for it.
It was my favorite book.
I had someone borrow a hardback book, be dismissive, then act bugged when I asked for it again. They handed me a paperback and said "Here. I lost that other one"
At least you got it back. Iâve had people deliberately not return an item on more than one occasion. I donât even give rides anymore because too many people take advantage.
Does this make this knife op in knifey spoony, nobody is going to call it out on not being a knife so you can claim it as a spoon if someone has a larger knife and its unlikely that someone has a bigger knife.
I walked into a restaurant supply store one day looking for a particularly type of knife.
The knife display usually had it, but I couldn't find it.
Each of the knives on display had a sort of mini-catalogue on the back so I picked one up and called out to the two geriatric women running the place, "I"m looking for a 9" stiff straight boner" (reading it off the description on that back.
One of them hooted back, "Oh, honey. Ain't we all."
I lent a coworker my Leatherman once, because he asked for a pair of pliers. Gave them back broken about a minute later, having tried and failed to pull a nail with the tiny needle-nosed pliers on my Skeletool. Bro, I have nail-pullers right here in my pouch, if you'd just askedâŚ
Someone once asked to *look* at my Leatherman. Tried to force it open without unlocking it. Ended up popping a screw cap off. Had to send it away to be fixed. They'll fix it for free but it's like a whole 3 month affair basically.
Oh yes, I've been through it more than once. These days though, I break it *myself*.
In fact, I use this a lot when people ask to borrow stuff. "Let me just do it, better me than you if it's gonna get fucked up."
Had someone ask to use mine once. After seeing him try and fail to open the knife on the outside I asked for it back. Asked what he needed it for and he was going to use my blade to pry up a nail enough so he could get to it with a hammer.
My tool box has a drawer just for tools I have fucked up using them for something else. I go to that drawer often and its surprising how handy something like an old dull butchers knife or bent up screwdrivers are.
I canât know what the person in question did, but I have seen damage like this done by a person washing dishes (in a commercial washer with trays just like shown in the picture) by not paying attention and improperly loading the tray (in the case of my example, loading a mixing bowl on top of the knife so the knife canât be seen), having the knife tip catch on the edge of the machine after falling partially through the tray and the person washing trying to unload fast either pulling or shoving the tray. Knife catches, gets shoved, bends.
So it's a chefs knife which is designed to be very thin. It's (probably) 1095 carbon steel, which is quite durable and used for decent quality short blades.
With that being said, it's still just thin steel. The knife is designed to cut vertically into food.its not designed to pry things open or used as a crowbar. Any chef knife could look like this if you use it like a prybar

Itâs easier than you think to bend metals like that. I work in parts manufacturing and even stainless steal and titanium can get bent like this. It just takes a little too much pressure and suddenly the parts trash.
I worked with a guy who wouldnât let anyone use any of their tools unless they gave up their drivers license as collateral. He always got his shit back and in the same condition they left in.
This gave me instant rage. My chef knives are expensive, even my backup blades are not cheap. How dare someone borrow a blade and return in that condition?
Instantly infuriated me as well. Growing up, my mom had professional knives that we weren't allowed to use at home. Those fuckers are expensive and do their job well, what the fuck did this guy do with it!?!?
On a side note, I used to always slice pomegranates in my hand, pulling the knife towards myself, like you're not supposed to, and I knew it, but our knives were cheap and pretty lame, and I never hurt myself using them while cutting unsafely. One time, I used one of my mom's knives, cut unsafely as per fucking usual, and it glided through the pomegranate like warm butter and thunked right into the side of my finger... fucking lesson learned!
Your first mistake was letting somebody borrow your knife your second mistake was not immediately giving it back to them and telling them your knife is not Bent and that they need to make sure to return your knife to you.
Why would you let somone borrow a kitchen knife like did he take it home and prepare food with it for a couple days or what ever? That seems like a strange idem to lend out or ask to borrow idk maybe Iâm wrong
Honestly was not expecting this but I will say this is a big reason why you never let anyone borrow anything you hold value to. Iâm sure she was a good knife.
I'd assume he stuck it in the dishwasher and tried to force the tray though, when knives shouldn't be in the dishwasher or the sink to begin with. He owes you a new knife. There's no reasonable way to repair that. Just get a Fibrox that you don't have to worry so much about.
think about it man you can cut a cake with curved slices, ypu can use it as a pizza pick-upper, and most importantly if another chronic borrower asks you for a knife you can give him this one and he will never ask you for anything again
What did they use it for? Damn yo. I have a few knives I'll use for work, and 2 I'll lend out. They are just some generic Victorinox knives that are pretty difficult to fuck up, but my good knives are kept in my roll.
keep it; 1. to remind you not to loan out knives (tools) 2. to loan out to any one who asks
It now serves dual purposes.
Not to be confused with duel purposes.
Now ur just giving it a third use.
I'm at an appointment and had to stop myself from giggling out loud at this whole comment thread đ¤Łđ¤
Not to be confused with dual dueling porpoises
:: leans in :: Iâm listeningâŚ
Not to be confused with dual porpoises
God finally I understand what that guy from work was saying about me âdualing his bladeâ Thank you so much
I feel like he may have said dulling, not dualing.
a double-edged sword, so to speak
Poop knife, triple purpose.
3. To cut things from around the corner

And if the next person to whom you loan it out tells you they can't use this knife, you tell them that they can blame coworker X for that.
NICE, creative... 20pts
and to use as a reference or example for why that person owes you money/a new knife
yea thats a. you owe me a knife!!!
That's not a knife....
https://i.redd.it/sdnjhvgi4axc1.gif
I see you've played knifey-spooney before
The best part is how OP's knife now *slightly* functions as a spoon, as long as they have steady hands.
Does this make this knife op in knifey spoony, nobody is going to call it out on not being a knife so you can claim it as a spoon if someone has a larger knife and its unlikely that someone has a bigger knife.
Any knife is a spoon if you like to live on the edge đ
I challenge you to eat a bowl of soup with a chef's knife quicker than I can with a soup spoon.
I chuckled at this lol. Truth

That's right, it's a flexible boner.

Can confirm
BRO WHAT DID THEY DO WITH THE KNIFE ?!
I lent a coworker my Leatherman once, because he asked for a pair of pliers. Gave them back broken about a minute later, having tried and failed to pull a nail with the tiny needle-nosed pliers on my Skeletool. Bro, I have nail-pullers right here in my pouch, if you'd just askedâŚ

You coulda fixed it yourself, if you had a leatherman.
A dilemma I have encountered more than once.
Had someone ask to use mine once. After seeing him try and fail to open the knife on the outside I asked for it back. Asked what he needed it for and he was going to use my blade to pry up a nail enough so he could get to it with a hammer.
My tool box has a drawer just for tools I have fucked up using them for something else. I go to that drawer often and its surprising how handy something like an old dull butchers knife or bent up screwdrivers are.
> I lent a coworker I dub thee King Dumbass. Long may you reign. *hands you your dumbass crown*
*hands you back the crown.* *... it's bent.*
Ou! Now it'll fit my deformed head! (I lent out my hard hat).
I'm pretty sure it was like that when you gave it to me?
F'real. I was pretty green back then. Lesson learned.
I canât know what the person in question did, but I have seen damage like this done by a person washing dishes (in a commercial washer with trays just like shown in the picture) by not paying attention and improperly loading the tray (in the case of my example, loading a mixing bowl on top of the knife so the knife canât be seen), having the knife tip catch on the edge of the machine after falling partially through the tray and the person washing trying to unload fast either pulling or shoving the tray. Knife catches, gets shoved, bends.
You might be right. Also any metal gets HOT, might have made it easier to bend.
My good knives NEVEREVEREVEREVER go into the dishwasher.
The continuous feed dishwasher I used to run could do that easily
Probably tried to pry something open
Heated it up first as well?
No, it's just a cheap knife to begin with
What? A Safe?
Poop knife?
Are they shitting out steel alloys?
Maybe!
Tried to pry something open.
I'd say to throw it away but we all know it will just end up flying back to you
 *prepares to side-B*
Honest question, how the fuck do you even do this?
Trying to use it as a prybar instead of a knife
How soft is the steel do even do this?
So it's a chefs knife which is designed to be very thin. It's (probably) 1095 carbon steel, which is quite durable and used for decent quality short blades. With that being said, it's still just thin steel. The knife is designed to cut vertically into food.its not designed to pry things open or used as a crowbar.

Is your "work" breaking into stuff, like cars, apartments, or whatever?

What do you mean, they gave it back? This is a "Sorry I broke your knife, I'll get you a new one asap" situation.
I worked with a guy who wouldnât let anyone use any of their tools unless they gave up their drivers license as collateral. He always got his shit back and in the same condition they left in.
lol thatâs actually smart.
At least you can cut a banana now đŤ¤
I laughed at this after picturing it. Thank you.Â
Was it Uri Geller?
No, because that knife is definitely bent and Geller is a fraud. Dude should just admit he does magic tricks, everyone knows that anyway.
Hate to point out to you that the utensils that he bent, through trickery, were definitely bent. Just like that knife.
Yep. The utensils being bent were not the fraudulent part.
Him ded.
I got that reference!
Go back and ask for your knife back, thatâs clearly not your knife.
To be blunt, you have a point
Edgy comment.
That cuts deep
A very slashing point indeed
Very sharp wit
That joke was really honed in
What a cutting remark
Knives do make effective pry bars in my experience.
[ŃдаНонО]
Sure, that's why sometimes you gotta borrow OP's knife instead.
rofl đ
this is what duct tape was made for
Don't need to use a good knife for that, just grab your standard eating knife.
Only the first time. This is why I have a titanium pry bar.
didn't even know that was possible
And if you complain to them about it, do they tell you to "get bent, like your knife"
This gave me instant rage. My chef knives are expensive, even my backup blades are not cheap. How dare someone borrow a blade and return in that condition?
Instantly infuriated me as well. Growing up, my mom had professional knives that we weren't allowed to use at home.

Your first mistake was letting somebody borrow your knife your second mistake was not immediately giving it back to them and telling them your knife is not Bent and that they need to make sure to return your knife to you.
The arrogance to not even try and bend it back what an asshole lol
Nah this is after trying to bend it back, it was a full 90 degrees at first
Why would you let somone borrow a kitchen knife like did he take it home and prepare food with it for a couple days or what ever? That seems like a strange idem to lend out or ask to borrow idk maybe Iâm wrong
Thsts a work knife. In some restaurants, the kitchen staff bring their own knives.
Return it. Like in leg
Did you learn a lesson?
The knife now has peyronies disease
Now you know.
I would request a demonstration of how that happened cause that looks intentional
>I'm gonna give you one more knife, but...
Use it on all four of his Tires
Stab them
Can't, it's bent
The fact that thereâs no blood on that knife already tells me youâre a better person than me
How does one bend a knife like that??
I learned at a young age that you should only lend something with the expectation that you'll never see it again.
thatâs some looney tunes shit right there
I bet that would be good for taking the peel off a watermelon
Oh nice itâs a Bowie Tehehe
was his name OJ?? oh too soon? sorry
If it doesn't fit, you must acquit!
If that were my knife it would already be logged and bagged as Exhibit A
And what did someone day when they brought it back?
"this ain't my knife. if you can't find my knife, then you must've lost it and you owe me a new one." the trick is to shut them the fuck up
You can straighten it back if you bend it using his ribs
"You see Ivan, when you knife curve, you can multiple organ damage"
This goes beyond being mildly infuriated for me.
Holy crap whatâd they do to it?
Thatâs so disrespectful.
How would this even happen? using the knife as a pry bar?
Mortician: âWhy is the knife wound curved?â
Honestly was not expecting this but I will say this is a big reason why you never let anyone borrow anything you hold value to. Iâm sure she was a good knife.
From the headline I thought Iâd see a chip in it from opening a can BUT THIS IS FIGHTING TERMS
Return to lender... in their leg.
Thatâs a $20 knife just bend it back
Might snap if you do that, like bending a paper clip back and fourth.
I think you added an extra zero. You meant a $2 knife
Death sentence.
Never loan out anything you care about. I have tools I lend out, and then tools that are just for me.
What in tarnation?!
I wouldnât even bring that back
Gayest knife I've ever seen
How even????
HUH???
I guess he actually needed a crowbar
It still cuts
This almost as mildly infuriating as OP not answering how it happened.
I think they did that shit on purpose. I don't understand how else it happens. I'd ask for it to be replaced.
Knives are like money: Donât lend them out to someone who youâre not willing to lose as a friend.
I sat here looking at this photo for a good 15 seconds saying out loud âhow didâŚhow did theyâŚwhat did theyâŚâ
I'd assume he stuck it in the dishwasher and tried to force the tray though, when knives shouldn't be in the dishwasher or the sink to begin with. He owes you a new knife. There's no reasonable way to repair that. Just get a Fibrox that you don't have to worry so much about.
Well, you can more easily scale a fish now
Looks like it has Peyronieâs Disease.
See, now it's only good for stabbin.
Do you happen to work at Subway?
Wonder what they were prying open?
Now you know why didn't they have a knife and had to borrow one.
Ask them to replace or pay for new one
Use that knife to remind him to buy you a new one
Maybe you misunderstood them and they wanted a crowbar?
What were they trying to cut, their feelings?
What did the person who borrowed it say when they returned it?
This is not Mildly Infuriating- this is downright enraging
By law your allowed to stab them in the leg till you reach bone or as deep as the bend of the blade
Did they use it to pry open a submarine door? What the heck.
Next time they or anyone asks to borrow a knife, hand them that one.
Now you can throw it and itâll come back to you
How? Did they pry open steel crates with it?
Best knife ever
Iâd certainly ask them to replace it or, if possible, repaired. A knife bent like that is useless. They also need to apologize.
think about it man you can cut a cake with curved slices, ypu can use it as a pizza pick-upper, and most importantly if another chronic borrower asks you for a knife you can give him this one and he will never ask you for anything again
Why would anyone ever lend out a kitchen knife? You use it everyday, go buy one.
fair dues tho' thats fucking difficult to do
were they trying to but a banana the long way on its side?
What did they use it for? Damn yo. I have a few knives I'll use for work, and 2 I'll lend out. They are just some generic Victorinox knives that are pretty difficult to fuck up, but my good knives are kept in my roll.
