I am frustrated as hell. 
Not to give too much detail to a rage post, but I was given a cheap(sub-$400 in 2022) laptop in 2023, by someone who knew I already had a cheap laptop and was trying to fix my $2k+ beast desktop for media production. I refused several times, making sure it could afford to give it up. Over nine months later, it was apparently a loaner despite no previous language of "I want it back later" or "lend", "loan", etc, and the fact that I had to pay to get it here and put labor and nominal parts cost into it to get it working on my end. 

Why should I have to update people on the status of gifts I sold to meet the specified purpose of getting my desktop back online?

The only problem is externality pricing.

I am so upset too because unrelated friendships seem to be hinging on replacing it when I have proof that “lending” was never communicated and I am a teacher so I don’t get paid until mid September.

WTF... people are the worst.
The fake help that people hand out could make you scream.
Think you should give it back once they pay for the upgrades
