Etiquette question...getting borrowed DVDs back
Is there some diplomatic way of broaching the subject with a female coworker who borrowed my DVD set of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"?
She's a bit of a nutter. But jeez, it's been two months!!!

Yeah - how about, "Um, can I have my DVD's back?"

I have a friend who just returned my BSG DVDs after having them for six months. He never even watched them. I started asking him for them back after two months.
I essentially resorted to telling him that a friend in Chicago wanted to borrow them.

Things have been awkward for me since I went to a party at her house and her husband was showing me his "spoon" in their bedroom and I noticed a squirt container of anal lube on their dresser. I can't look her in the eye since then.

Ask her if you can borrow some money so you can buy the "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" DVD.

I used a Pelican hybrid version of the more diplomatic requests and she's going to return them Monday. She watched three episodes and lost interest..."I forgot I had them". Thank you Pelican Diplomatic Corps!
As far as banging her, she reminds me of Jackie Gleason without the cigar.

"Hey, I want to watch so and so movie, can I please have it back" .... repeat every few days. If she does not respond in a few days offer to sell it to her but one way or the other you want to watch the movie.
