Today, my violin broke and I have a recital coming up. I gave it to my friend to give it to the luthier and the luthier has fixed it. I asked my friend to return it to me and they became angry I was asking for too many favours. My recital is tomorrow and I can't get my hands on a violin for at least another week. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my little brother got a violin. FML
Today, my flute broke. I have an exam coming tomorrow and all repair shops are closed. I guess I’ll have to lose £150. FML
Today, my piano teacher told me that she "forgot" to inform me that she volunteered me to play a 5-page song in a recital in front of 300 people that's happening next week. FML
Today, I've practised a particular fast passage at least hundreds of times, it was perfect… then came the competition. I sat down on the chair and played it, but halfway through, my instrument chose to just fall off my hand, not even the bow or something, the entire instrument. It was recorded too. FML
Today, my neighbor's kid started learning the violin. FML
Today, I was short on money for bills, so I pulled out my alto saxophone, knowing that no matter how much I loved it, I'd be able pay my rent with the money. As I pulled it out of its case, the neck strap broke and I dropped it, breaking the bell beyond repair. Now I'm poor AND depressed. FML
Today, while waiting for my violin student to unpack his violin, he farted loudly and rhythmically on the sofa, and then went on about how it sounded like the "Shave and a Haircut" rhythm. FML
Today, I was in a music shop looking for a new guitar when someone called out someone else's name and jumped on my back. I lost balance and fell forward and broke 3 guitars and damaged another 6. The guy said "Sorry, thought you were someone else" and ran out. I now have to pay £2500. FML
Today, I forgot to tune my guitar pre-performance. Surprising, because it was in tune when I frantically did it by ear backstage. Too bad two of the six strings snapped, smacking the drummer in the face. FML
Today, I have a new guitar on its way. I forgot to make up a story, so now my wife won't be happy. FML

Right now it sounds like you do want too much. You have to clue us into why you can't do it yourself, and why it is more convenient for your friend to do these things for you. The only positive is I learned a new word.

You ought to physically assault your friend and inflict injury to get your instrument back. Sometimes, violins IS the answer.

Your violin, your responsibility. Make arrangements with your friend for you to pick up the violin, limiting Friend's action to answering the door when you get there. And, honestly, I think you need to rethink whether they meet the definition of "friend", because to me they do not sound very much like a friend. They sound petty and narcisissistic.

Is there a reason you can't pick up your own violin? I don't blame your friend for being annoyed.

As my father always said, “Don’t lend what you can’t afford to lose.”. That advice has saved me plenty of heartache over the years.

Why can't you get it yourself?
