I find this hard to believe. I'm sure the chronic late movie returners laugh at the fact they just can't seem to return videos on time and they are constantly confronted with late fees to pay them. I'm sure a lot of people try to talk their way out of the late fee, blaming the dog or some "Act of God" or something.

I think you're right about people not admitting to personal faults, but I don't think most consider returning movies late to be a "fault" or "character flaw" or anything.

Also "I only get 48 hours? Damn - I usually get 5 days!" (many rentals are 2 days, yes - but he'll remember the longest duration he thinks he should get)
Now, this I can hear people saying already....

I think you're right about this and this is REALLY unfortunate, considering DVD is a change that everyone here is "ok" with and more and more people are opening up to. However, a LOT of people here seem to be so "content" with DVDs current incarnation that future advancements in the technology are sometimes "fought". This is a strange phenomenon.

Peace...
