My sorority sister borrowed my aloe Vera in like September for a bad sun burn. She said she would give it back soon. Spoiler: she did not. I’ve asked every few weeks in person and in text with her responding ‘oh yes sorry I’ll return it soon’ without ever following through. 


I know it would be easy to just buy a new one but I didn’t want to when I knew the one I lent her was basically full. I got burnt on spring break and wanted to use it but she was out of town so I couldn’t get it back. I am really irritated at this point and have asked for it 3 times since then (about a month). 


Finally I decided to say in group message, “Hey X! Do you think you could return my aloe!!!” And she responded “Hey AnnaKTrenika I’ll get right on it!” Two days later it was on my counter. I do feel bad about calling her out in front of everyone and I know it probably made me look petty but I think if you borrow something it should be promptly returned. 

AITA?
