Either the most childish or the most petty.
Bit of back story -- I have a friend. Let's call her Ashley, for that is her name. Ashley has a habit of blowing all her wages and then trying to guilt her friends into lending her money, which I have fallen for more than once, which means for the past year she's owed me £200. Ashley's also a bit of a Japanophile, loves her anime and once got drunk and told me that she only tried to become friends with me because of my "gooky eyes" (I'm 1/4 Japanese), lovely person, isn't she?

Ashley has decided that because I am part "azn" then I must be sooo into Japanese culture. I am not. I have no desire to watch the shitty animes she gets imported. This is the childish part. Picture Ashley, all excited because she's just discovered Helling and it has vampires. So it must be like Twilight. And it's Japanese so I must like it, so therefore I must borrow it and watch it. She insists. Fine, she drops it off at mine and with a promise that when she gets paid, she'll give me my £200 back.

Jump to a couple of weeks after she's been paid and she pops round to pick up her DVD. Without my money. Because she "really can't afford to pay me back this month" but can she get her DVDs back because she really wants to show it to her new boyfriend. No, but she can afford to spend half her wages on Amazon. Okay, fair enough says I, hang on and I'll go and get your DVDs.

Go upstairs to get it. Nail scissors. Down the back of every other disk.

Maybe I'm not so much "childish" as "malicious bitch".

Did you watch it?
I only ask because Hellsing is pretty good - and I say that as someone who isn't really into anime much either.

I tried to.
Some of it got a bit too... graphic for my tastes so I couldn't continue.

Fair enough - you gave it a go.

If she ever offers to lend you My Neighbour Totoro, take it. In fact, take it and keep it.
Even if you absolutely loathe anime/cartoons, I defy you to dislike Totoro.

Sorry, I'll stop with the cartoon-talk now.

...Ghibli, so I've seen it. It's great.

Actually, it's kinda fitting given the subject of this QOTW as watching that film always leaves me with a sense of child-like wonderment.

Hate to tell you this, but
those DVDs are probably perfectly playable. Unlike CDs, which have the data stamped on the label side of the disc, just below all the ink, DVDs have the data sandwiched between two half-thickness discs, which together make up the whole DVD. Scratching the label side will do bugger all unless you go right through the top disc.

You get a click for the effort, though!

Ahhh well!
I felt guilty about doing it as soon as I'd done anyway!

Thanks for the click.
