I told my colleague that the printer was broken, so I needed to borrow yours first. What does my colleague mean when he says you can't fix it?

When you borrow something from others, you must not say it too badly, let alone say something hurtful. You should know that you are asking for something from others. When you borrow something from others, you must specify the return time in advance, and you must return it to others on time according to the agreed time. When you borrow something from others, you can't say rude words just because others don't lend it to users. A good relationship might as well be casual, and a close friend should be straightforward, so as not to make the other person feel recognized. If you are ordinary friends, the relationship is average, you may wish to borrow the curve, first test it, and then improvise according to each other's situation.

There will always be times when you can't borrow something, and sometimes people may not lend it to you. However, you can't be angry and dissatisfied and say rude words. For example, if you borrow a dictionary from someone, they will say, "Sorry, I can't lend it to you for the time being, so I need to use it right away." Don't say something like "what a coincidence, you have to use it when I come to borrow it", otherwise it will hurt your feelings. If you say, "Can you lend it to me when you have finished reading it?" I believe this attitude will make people willing to accept it.
