A 17-year-old girl is a self-proclaimed shopaholic, and she loves buying new clothing for herself. She does let her friends borrow items from her closet, but under one condition: everything has to be returned to her in exactly the same way that she lent it out.

All of her friends abide by her golden rule, except for one of her 16-year-old friends. This friend of hers will frequently borrow things without even asking, and she’ll later find out that whatever was taken out of her closet by this friend is quite worse for wear.

“I also have a terrible memory which I feel she takes advantage of,” she explained. “Another time I found out my white sweatshirt which said Gucci on it in sparkly letters was missing from my closet.”

She only realized it was missing when she saw another one of her friends wearing her sweatshirt in a photo they shared on social media.

She immediately texted her friend to say that she never asked to borrow this particular item, but her friend downplayed the situation and insisted that she did ask.

“But I wanted it back, which was a whole ordeal I don’t even want to explain, but basically she gave it to another friend whose puppies chewed off the letters, and I’m expected to just glue them back on instead of asking for it to be replaced because it’s $70 and the letters apparently came off “really easily,” she said.

Well, she kept on letting this friend of hers borrow things from her closet even after the Gucci sweatshirt incident.

The latest items her friend borrowed included a black lacy top worth $90 and a sparkly blue top with butterflies worth $50.

Her friend wanted to wear these tops to a few summer concerts, and she did agree to let her friend borrow them.

“Every time I hang out with her I ask for them,” she continued. “She says they are in her room somewhere, but she’s “looked everywhere” so she asked her mom who she thought moved it and she doesn’t know either.”

“The other one she left at her exes house who blocked her on everything, so I reached out but he doesn’t know where it is either.”

She really thinks it’s time to tell her friend she needs to pay up or purchase replacements since it’s been more than 6 months. She is aware that her friend does not have the money to do this though.

She does feel bad that her friend doesn’t have a ton of cash, but she believes that if you lose or break something that you borrow, it’s on you to make it right.

How can she tell her friend that it’s time to pay up?
