Under what conditions do you let someone use your camera?

I've only let one person use my camera, and that was my brother.  Even still, I was a little reluctant.  It's only a camera, I get it.  However it's about the controls and messing them up.  I'm sure you know what I mean.

I don't lend out any of my stuff. Period.

I've let my grown children use my gear under my supervision. Was still a mistake. Don't do it!

Is that a corgi in your profile picture? :O

The only person that has used my gear, is my wife.  And that was only once.

When my husbands asks if he can take a shot he likes.  Only because Ican buy anything I want for my camera and he makes no fuss.
