Era Might Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Two weeks ago the lady upstairs comes down and asks if she can borrow a plunger. I give it to her, and she says she'll bring it back the next week. I smile and say okay, although I'm a little perturbed why she wants to bring it back the next week instead of when she is finished using it. Whatever, what could I do, refuse to let her borrow the plunger? Besides, there is a spare, although I don't like it as much. Well, it's been two weeks now, and we haven't gotten the plunger back. Is it just me, or is this a tad askew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, she gave those away as wedding presents. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'd say any thermometer. And I would add: enema kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really want it back now considering what it is used for! but once the deed is done, It's one of those things you say "no really just keep it!"JC Edited June 9, 2007 by jckinsman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
