A user borrowed a friend's video camera for filming but faced memory issues, leading to the deletion of some footage, including personal family videos, against the friend's explicit instructions. This has resulted in significant tension between them, with the friend now upset and not speaking to the user. The user is uncertain about how to approach the situation, weighing whether to apologize or give the friend space. Forum participants emphasize the importance of trust and respect in friendships, noting that the user's actions were perceived as selfish and inconsiderate. Some suggest that the deleted footage might still be recoverable, while others stress the need for the user to sincerely apologize and acknowledge the breach of trust. The discussion reflects a divide on the severity of the incident, with some viewing it as a minor mistake and others as a serious violation of trust that could jeopardize the friendship.
