I always let my best friend borrow some of my shirts, but she will borrow them and forget to give them back. Like 2day I have to wear a blak shirt 4 school and she borrowed it and now she says she already gave it bak but i no she didn't because i have looked everywhere and it is nowhere and she wore it last. Also she borrowed one of my favorite shirts and she said she can't remember where it is but she will look for it and she still hasn't found it. Anyways- this doesn't usually happen, but i think i should not let her borrow anything else from me until she gives me the other stuff back. Is this a good judgement or is there an easier way?
HollyAnn2282 answered Friday August 6 2004, 1:36 pm: yeah thats a good idea. It would even be a good idea just to not let her borrow anything at all. Teach her a lesson for a while. Or maybe borrow some of her clothes and do the same thing to her. Good luck

dotcom66 answered Friday August 6 2004, 1:28 pm: Here's what I'd do. Tell her that you can't find the shirt, but maybe you misplaced it or something, but next time she asks, just tell her that you think you're going to wear whatever the think she want to borrow soon and you can't lend it to her. I would wait a little before letting her borrow anything, but when and if you do, tell her that you really need it back, and also have a good memory and write down when she gives it back, so that you know she took it.

sshelbyy answered Friday August 6 2004, 12:23 pm: I think thats really smart, you shouldnt let her borrow anything else until she gives you every single thing she borrowed back, and even then, i dont know if you should trust her with your belongings. Just say your mom wont let you, make sumthign up like that. [ sshelbyy's advice column | Ask sshelbyy A Question ]
ballerina04 answered Friday August 6 2004, 12:16 pm: you've done the right thing. why should you let her borrow more stuff when she hasn't given other things back?? maybe tell her you can't find it, and ask her to look one more time. g/l..

MFS answered Friday August 6 2004, 12:15 pm: I think you've got the right idea. Don't let her borrow anything else of yours until she returns the other items. I've had the same thing happen to me at various times, and people will continue to try to take advantage of you until you put a stop to it. Hopefully, your friend will realize that you're not pleased and give your shirts back.
Good luck! [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
Sarashimi answered Friday August 6 2004, 12:11 pm: I think maybe you should ask if you can look around in her room for the lost items...possibly your friend hasn't even looked and just said she has. You idea is a good one. Tell her I will let you borrow more clothes once I have the rest of my clothes back. But be aware that she might take offence to that so be careful how you tell her. Also if you are planning on wearing a certain piece of clothing in the next few weeks don't let her borrow it, because you may never get it back. Good Luck!
