Calling All Markers

I like to believe I'm a relatively nice person. When I go away I ask if anyone would like something. If a friend requires an outfit for an occasion my wardrobe is open for their picking. I have an extensive DVD collection I'm happy to lend them to people...

Why the fuck do people take advantage of my generosity!?!?!?!

When I went to the Hunter Valley, not the last time - the time before I bought a couple of bottles for a friend. She didn't have the cash when I gave them to her... I'm still waiting.

I lent a friend a dress for Melbourne Cup. Yep, November. It's now April. Still waiting for it back.

A friend has some of my DVD's I gave them to her in January. I've asked for it back once. She forward lent. Someone. else. has. MY. stuff! I want it back now!

I'm now calling on all markers - I want all my belonging in my hot little hands right away.

* The term Markers is from Guys and Dolls

This happens to many of us although I have never lent any of my frocks out....

And here I am one the the contributing parties to the outstanding marker....... will rectify ASAP.

Can I borrow your car for the weekend? I'll give it back on Monday - swear.

I lend out a lot of stuff and then forget about it. That's a bad habit, but I also end up with a lot of stuff that people have lent me. It's like communism!
