If someone broke your doll?

well, til now i barely allow anyone to touch :P

but if something happen to my doll, I guess they'll hate themselves and offer to pay since I'll be crying on their heads about it loool..

and I'll definitely offer to pay the damage if I caused it!! I'll feel guilty about the damage ><

 

I always make sure that people know how much my dolls cost me in general before I let them handle them. Luckily for me the few people that want to handle them are also in expensive hobbies, so they tend to behave themselves.

I would most definitely start crying if one of my babies was damaged because someone was being negligent, I probably wouldn't insist on them paying to replace the part, though. Of course, if they offer...

 

Would you believe this, a couple nights ago myself and my partner had out Engagement party and I had all my dolls nicely posed in the glass cabinet in the corner of the room.. well some mates of mine got a bit too rough in the couch it was next too and the bashed the hell out of the cabinet and sure enough all my dolls just fell and crashed into each other.

10 dolls... and what is worse, the BIG BOY, a 70cm Dragon Doll had toppled over like a pillar onto the much tinnier dolls.

Thankfully, non of the dolls were hurt or damaged.... but I was so steamed and fuming at them all that they could be so careless.

But I swear if any of them were broken I would be demanding payment. And considering that 90% of the dolls in there have my own custom face up.

I think I have learnt my lesson from this... DON'T have dolls out when there is a party on... pack the away somewhere safe. But it's sad when you cant have such beautiful displays of art to show cause of stupid people.

But yeah, friend or family member... I'd make them pay for the replacement parts.

 

If someone broke my doll without having my permission to touch it, I'd expect them to buy me a new part.

I would only feel responsible if I grabbed the doll without permission, which I never would so it isn't an issue.

 

I think I'd be crying too hard to ask...though I'd want to. But I'd be too shy to ask for it. And if someone offered, I'd prolly tell them "No, don't worry about it" so they wouldn't feel bad. Cuz that's how I've dealt with similar situations... >.>

But if I did it, I'd offer to pay or repair it myself, if it was something I was capable of doing.

 

Swift anger would follow! Oh man. I think that if it were family or friends, I would tell them how much a replacement/repair costs and ask for that much. If it were at a meet... I don't know. I would probably cry though.

If I ever damaged someone's doll, I would most definitely pay for the damage. Even if that meant saving money from each paycheck. Because that's what I would want someone to do if it was the other way around.

 

I suppose.. Isn't it just common courtesy to pay for anything you personally broke (and require someone else to do the same for your items)..? That seems like it'd be the proper etiquette for this situatiton.

 

I'd expect the person to pay for the repair or a new doll, but I'm to shy and would just silently stare at my broken doll and pretend that everything was okay. If I broke another's doll I would definately offer to pay for the repair

 

I would definitely offer to pay for it if I broke someones doll. I would also expect them to pay to fix mine if they broke it, but I would have a hard time telling someone that. Maybe they'd get the hint when I burst into tears? :'(

 

My dad dropped my DOC Zen into a sink and broke the fingers on one hand. My dad immediately offered to buy me a new doll to replace the 'broken' one but I just laughed and got my more experienced friend to hot-glue my poor Zen's fingers back on. If it had been anyone else, there may have been blood involved. But I know my dad didn't mean it and it was an easy enough fix in the long run.

However, if anyone ever touched my brood with the intent to damage them, said idiot would not live to see another day.

 

If another person broke my doll, i would definitely expect compensation.

 

I couldn't force someone to pay for the damages done to my doll in a public area such as a convention, so in cases like that I'd likely tell people, "You can look, but you can't touch." I guess I wouldn't win many friends, but if they got huffy I'd just blow them off. Immature people can't be near expensive dolls. I'm a very paranoid individual. I have had things stolen from me three times now, so I take my possessions very seriously. No unauthorized hands come near my things.

The family members that I would allow to handle my dolls (on the off-chance they asked) are the ones that I trust would be careful and would offer to pay for any damages they caused. My family knows I take my hobbies very seriously, so the ones I am close to are very considerate of my possessions.

If I caused damage to someone else's doll, I would definitely offer compensation for the damages. It's not fair to expect them to pay for my mistake.

 

For me it would depend on their attitude after breaking the doll. If the person who broke the doll seemed upset and sorry about it,I don't know if I could demand they pay me back. I'll say this-if they're in any way a half decent person they would offer to pay for the damage without being asked. I've damaged my own doll before so I know how easy it is to have an accident. I don't let strangers handle my dolls,so it's hard for me to say what I would do in that situation.
If I broke someone else's doll I would be devastated and insist on paying for the damage. I could imagine someone's face after someone broke their doll,and I wouldn't want to be the one to put someone else through that.

 

I think I would try to repair it first, and if I couldn't, then I would ask the person to help me pay for it. I would definitely want compensation, though, if it was damage that would require me to be extra careful with that part from then on after repairing it myself, then I would rather have that part replaced instead. If I broke somebody else's doll then I would offer to pay for the damage, but after reading this thread, I think I will just not touch anybody's dollies!

 

My thinking is that, If some one broke a finger off or an arm if it can be fixed then its the person's responsibility to pay for the repair since they made the dumb decision to hold onto your doll without permission on top of that and clumsy hands strikes again and that's the consequence for the action. If the doll cannot be repaired then it their doll, and pay for the amount you paid for the doll.

Accidental or Intentional; actions do have consequences, and if you have clumsy hands ask, the owner if they can move their doll for you.

Sorry if I'm a hard butt about it, but it's one of those things where the amount of time, energy and of course money is involved then those rules needs to be stepped up.

 

If someone broke my doll: I would not be too happy with them, that is for sure. Especially if the doll was touched without my permission. I guess it depends where it broke. If the face/head cracked or broke, I would be mad. However it was probably just an accident, so I won't stay mad forever. I probably wouldnt ask them to pay me for a new head. If a finger broke or other fragile part, again, It was probably an accident, but I wouldnt be mad over a finger, or even an ear. I would probably only ask for money to fix the broken part if the person who borke it held or touched the doll without my permission.

If I broke someone's doll: Oh gosh, I would be so sorry that I did. I would insist I pay them for a replacement whatever it was that I broke.

 

If I am the one who broke it, I will pay for it. Well, not for whole doll unless I have crushed it into pieces...
I take my dolls as my family and my children, just like how I care my pets. And if they are important to me, it will how the others feel about their dolls.
I will not forgive myself breaking someone else's doll and do nothing.

 

It depends the situation and the person. I'm not the kind of person that would say oh you broke this you should help me get it replaced. I'd want to say it lol but I'd get too anxious and timid

 

Considering friends have broken my possessions in the past and recently the DirecTV guy wrecked and I mean WRECKED my Wii sensor bar and never said anything I'd be really angry. I probably would go postal! I developed a quick reflex to grabby hands at my face upped dolls and trust me if I see a finger going to smudge paint I'm so fast I don't even realize I got their wrist in my grip until they yelp out of surprise. I don't like my items being damaged by others especially since I know they wouldn't pay for it. I'd make them work for it yes...They'd have no other choice if they wanted to continue being around me and buy me a new part or if it was a doll that couldn't be easily replaced buy me a new one.

 

Depends for me.
I'm in the group of "If I damaged it I would pay". But if I let them handle the doll...it's partly my fault. Now if they did it without permission then yeah. I might ask. (Though probably not because I'm too shy otherwise, but if I got the courage up I'd totally ask).
