liability: as a borrower, you're strictly liable for all damage. you didn't return the charger to your friend. you're liable.

finishing your charge and allowing some other guy to use the charger doesn't end the bailment. there's no evidence in your fact pattern that the owner of the charger knew about -- much less consented to -- the second guy using the charger, or that the owner let you off the hook once your charge was done. you had a responsibility to ask the owner if the other guy could use it.

damage: depends if the charger was an original apple charger or some shitty knock off. if it was an original apple, you can't replace it with a shitty chink knock-off.

[edited to add: as chandler mentioned, the second guy may or may not owe you. but that's between you and him. you're still directly liable to the owner.]

in that case it'd probably be like $10 to replace.

sometimes the rules are harsh or unfair or counterintuitive, but they're applied without regard to emotion and feeling and that's how a fair society should be governed.

Borrow and don't return in good condition = you pay to replace it.

OP should Jew him and get some $2 Chinatown no name charger that will burn his friend's house down.

It’s funny too because we all know you don’t have irl friends.

$20-30 is nothing. it's having a few extra drinks and splitting the tab evenly. sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I hate Jew-y friends that nickel and dime every interaction--kills the vibe. I'd rather pay the entire thing than spend 10 minutes tallying up who owes what.

i can CHOOSE to buy a friend 3 drinks worth $20-30. that's MY decision. it's MY decision to tell a friend not to bother replacing the charger, but he should at least offer. he's an asshole if he doesn't offer.

It's just socially odd to hit someone up for $20.

Guess Jews don't know shame though!

“A real friend would just shake it off as nbd and wouldn’t ask you to pay for it. And if you were a real friend you’d buy him a new one ASAP.”

You just don’t understand friendship or normal human interaction for that matter.

It’s not right and i got overcharged.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3823693&forum_id=2#34882030)

if you have good manners you aren't supposed to lose shit without returning it or making things right.

you also aren't supposed to ask if you're the lender.

you wouldn't understand, jew.

some things are best left unsaid.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3823693&forum_id=2#34882145)

id feel bad and replace on my own initiative asap.

if i were drunk and my friend had to raise the issue to remind me of what i had done, i would feel quite guilty and make it a top priority.

what kind of a fag would flap his hands over a friend raising this. none of my friendships are based on respecting huffy little rules of etiquette.

Kill yourselves. HTH

now that i think about it it's kind of hard to judge without being there. having more than one person share the charger makes it seem like it wasn't just him borrowing the charger / taking responsibility for it but idk.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3823693&forum_id=2#34882346)

i'd replace too just b/c it's not worth it but if multiple people were sharing this guy's charger and then he came back at me for it i'd just come away thinking he's kind of petty that's all. but again idk how this all went down. not clear who was taking responsibility for it etc. but i guess that's the crux of the issue between them.
