So much for borrowing ..


Question Posted Tuesday December 19 2006, 5:11 pm

Okay, so I'm a cheerleader. For practice one day, I let one of my friends whos in a grade lower than me, borrow one of my shirts. My favorite american eagle shirt. She wore it to cheerleading, then brought it home to wash it. She didn't bring it in until like a week later and she put it in her locker. Something spilled in her locker and got all over my shirt. So she had to bring it home and wash it again. Then today, she wore it to school! I was so mad. I've mentioned to her a few times that I'd like the shirt back, but I haven't gotten it.

Should I be mad at her? How else can I hint to her that I want it back?

Thanks!!!

I bought the shirt at American Eagle, it was 15 dollars, which I think is kinda expensive for a shirt..

go to her house, a day shes not wearing it and ask for it back. Have a convo. w/ her mom (if your friends in the shower or something) and bring it up,then she'll probably give it to you,thats if worst comes to worst.tell her its your favorite shirt and you dont want her wearing it anymore. also if she goes over your house when your not wearing the shirt (if you get it back) hide it! tell her whe nyou grow out of it she can have it (if shes smaller than you ) good luck!

I wouldnt bother hinting and beating around the bush..Id straight up tell her. This is seriously RUDE and inconsiderate of her. Dont do this online or on the phone. Find her in person and say, "____(name), you know how I let you borrow my American Eagle shirt? Well, I really want to wear it soon, so I was wondering if you could give it to me tomorrow. Or I can just come to your house and pick it up if thats easier for you. But anyway, Id really like it back."

The whole "Ill pick it up" thing is just an option. If you really want the shirt back, you have to be willing to actually go get it because that will make her more willing to give it back.

Of course you have thie right to be made at her, its your shirt. You shouldnt have to hint her you want it back its yours you should just get it, next time you see her be like, 'can i please have my shirt back its my favorite one and you've had it for a while'

You do have a right to be mad at her. If you already explained to her that you want your shirt back and she still didn't give it back to you, then "hinting" to her that you want it back won't help.
You need to tell her straight-up that you would like the shirt back and it wasn't right of her to wear it to school when you specifically told her you want it back.
Just give her a call right now and tell her to bring it tomorrow.

Well, I do think that you have the right to be mad at your friend, but she really shood give your shirt back to you!!! To tell her that you want it back, camly explain to your friend that the american eagle shirt is one of your favorite shirts and you would really like to have it back. If she says that she will bring it to you the next day, but dosen't, tell her again that you really really wan't your shirt back and the next time your friend asks to borrow clothing that you will be less open to let her borrow your clothes. If she still dosen't give you your shirt, the next time you go over her house, ask her for the shirt, that way, she will have to hand it over to you right then and there! ;-)

taking the shirt and wearing it is a sign of deep affection for it. This very same situation happened to me with my best friend. I lent him my favorite shirt to wear during a performance (which followed since I was the costumer for that show) and I got it back a month later. I went to his house to get it back after a while and he admitted that he really really liked it, too, because of the fit and design and because it smelled like me. Christmas is just around the corner and I'm planning on giving him the shirt for good because he found a lot of joy in it. It's the season of forgiveness, so buy her a shirt she'll like and get yours back. Don't hold the grudge or do something mean to her, life is too short.

Yes of course you should be mad! You paid for the shirt, and now she comes and takes it away from you? Just like the other person said, take something of hers and don't give it back until she gives your shirt back. Or what you can also do is, if you remember where you got it, go to the store and see if they still have it on sale, then go to her and tell her that the shirt is still in the store, and she can buy it.

I hope this helps!

too right you should be mad at her.
did you say she could wear it outside of cheerleading? NO
demand it back off her, or alternativley borrow something of hers/hide her pom poms untill she gives it back. see how she likes it. xx

(im english do you use pom poms? im sorry if you were offended)
