I want my *fill in the blank* back!

Re: I want my fill in the blank back!

@redvelvet

Tell him that a friend/relo of yours wants to read it and that you said you’d give it to them by (insert day of the week)…that’ll put some pressure on him to get it back to you.

I don’t believe that I need to offer any explanation…my book and I want it back now. He’s had ample time to read it and if he likes it so much then he can buy a copy for himself.

@mirage

The book sounds interesting Muzna, and I would have felt the same, if I were in your place. You have already tried ask your book back so looks like whether he has like lost your book or something or simply loves keeping others’ things. Keep reminding him of the book until he returns the book or his excuses finally end and he might tell you what happened with your book Dont keep quiet on it and do let the cat come out of the bag anyway.

yes…I’m pretty sure that he’s simply forgetting as he’s a bit of a scatter brain…but I guess if I make myself a priority then he will remember.

@Catskin

I’d buy a new one. Like Adama, I don’t lend books, I gift them.

very nice of you.
if he was a close friend I might have done the same or even if I had already read the book…
unfortunately neither is true and I just don’t feel obligated to be that generous with him.

@Decent_6Chora

Aeyee hum sub mil ker Muzna ki book ki fatiha parheen…

bhool jaoo aab uss book ko. No matter what you fill in the blank, its not coming back now.

@canadiandesigirl

I would just ask for it straight up like some other people have suggested but ofcourse in a polite manner.

yes…I agree.
but I thought I had done that already…twice before in fact.

@Greysanatomyfan

You need one of these:
Amazon.com: Knock Knock Personal Library Kit: Health & Personal Care

thanks. that’s quite a nice kit…but I think it would reflect as being a bit anal…no?
besides…this is only the second time that someone has borrowed a book and not returned it.
and the previous time was a blatant attempt to irk me as the borrower admitted to a mutual contact that she was not returning the volume so as to destroy my set…malicious woman bechari.

@S_Punk

When I was in grade school…I would let people borrow my mechanical pencils, but they would never return them. I used to hate those people. And actually, not gonna lie, I still feel irked as hell if someone borrows my mechanical pencils and doesn’t return them. I don’t know why…I don’t feel the same about pens, or regular pencils or markers or anything else. =/

unresolved issues much?

I hear you though…

@NaMaan

One sentence can solve your problem . . .

bleep where is my bleep book you bleep bleep bleep

thanks but that’s just not my style.
