When sharing goes too far


One summer night, a friend and I were to meet up. I returned his missed call as I finished showering expecting to hear him asking me to hurry up. He asked me if I had a jacket or a jumper to "borrow" for the night. I mentioned that I wasn't his wardrobe and that he should just put on his black jacket that he usually wears. I hung up and tended to myself. Minutes later he called again and insisted that he needed a jumper or jacket as he was en-route to the rendezvous and that he was too far to make his way back home. In search of peace whilst drying myself, I agreed and hung up.

When we all had met up he asked me if I brought over my jumper/jacket that he asked for. I made it clear to him that I never let others wear my clothes. I also explained that he should have either called someone else when I initially hung up or instead made a purchase whilst on his way. 

I find it very strange how people are very comfortable when their articles or clothing are worn by others. I'm not a qualified dermatologist or a respected microbiologist but what I can tell you that it is disgusting. Did you know that if you frequently practise in this forsaken art, you reduce 12 mins off your natural lifespan for shirts and 36 mins for trousers. I haven't researched underwear yet and don't much wish to either.

When I shop it's very often for my size, style and paid by me. There has been moments when people have asked to "borrow" my formal shirts, shoes, coats and trousers too. 

Hot, cold, dry or wet..... I don't care.

Belts are included to.
