2. Facebook status updates - "Anybody have any x,y or z I can borrow for a few days?" knowing full well I'm the guy with x, y and z.
I'm fine if you do one of the above once or twice a year, but it seems to be the same chronic moochers that always want to borrow my stuff. Buy your own FFS. Now I just say no. I don't even make up an excuse. Can you do this for me? Negative, I have my own crap to worry about.
So I guess the questions are, what is the difference between a moocher and somebody who is simply borrowing your stuff/time, and where is the line? Also, anybody else getting bugged by mooching lately?

I learned the benefit of the word "no" a long time ago. It doesn't necessarily make you a popular person.
I volunteer a lot of time these days but moochers rarely bother me.
