Tell her she should have got third party insurance. Tell her you did not want to take the photo but it was she that made you do it. Then ask her for compensation for all the hassle, shock and pain that you suffered by dropping the camera.
I like it.
But I'm not a total douchebag. I sent her a message saying I would pay for half the cost of a used (excellent condition) off eBay -- around $100.
However, I hope she gives me some fuss and bullshit about eBay and it being "used" so I can tell her to screw off.
Bearing in mind that I do believe he should pay at least part....Let's say she wanted you to drive her home in her car. You say "OK" and proceed to drive it into a pole. Let's say neither of you have insurance. You think that you shouldn't have to pay for any of the damage to the car? If she asked you to look up something on her computer, but you somehow accidentally dropped her laptop and broke it... you don't think you should have to pay at least SOME of the cost to replace it?
Sheesh people. Guess money IS everything huh?

Let me guess you can't afford $90 to pay for a new one?
is she hot? show her your baller status and buy her two.
Whoa dude, Apples and Oranges.
How so? Apples and apples. If a person hands you something and asks you to do something with it and you happen to break it accidentally, are you not financially responsible for at least some of it?
I do not think you should have to buy a brand new camera at full retail, but to think you shouldn't at least give her some compensation is rediculous.
Yes, she asked you to take the picture knowing that you were drunk. She did not know you were too drunk to hold a camera. It was your responsibility to know whether or not you should attempt to take the picture. Just as it would be your responsibility to determine whether or not you should drive her car or use her laptop.
You people are friggin' hilarious. Take advantage of the girl who didn't even make a huge deal about it. She wasn't demanding full compensation, just asking if he could help her pay for a new one. If she responds saying he owes her a brand new camera, then yeah, she is being a little absurd... but again, she is entitled to it.
You broke the camera, you should pay. It's that simple. Somebody please explain how it isn't that simple.
