How to ask for something back. [+5rep]

[Blinger$]

Okay, i'm in a pickle right now.
This person i know (i dunno if they want to be friends, i mean, the whole thing is childish tbh*) has belongings that belong to me. I'm not going to make the effort to drive to their house, i used to ALWAYS go to their house and they rarely visited me. So anyway, i have a DVD of theirs and they have some things of mine. I told them to pick their DVD from my house and they agreed, I also told them to asked them to bring me back my stuff (which is admittedly somewhat nerdy stuff).

So, do i just tell them exactly what it is? AND how should i say it?


*they are angry because i asked their friend for advice about something over facebook, and i said i give bad advice on purpose about relationships ;s (obviously i was into them, thats why i gave bad advice.) P.S, the advice really wasn't like "omg MRS.X is just using u" or some random ******** like that, it was more "oh, i probs wouldn't".

Edit: the items are Super Mario 64 and a book we shared, where we wrote thoughts and **** down (well, mainly i did, but they did too) ;\

Hmmm personally I would just go to their house and pick up your stuff :P

[Blinger$]

I think they will get in trouble more if they don't collect their parents DVD. heh!
and they are coming over on tuesday anyway to pick it up. could be a bit... tense

also, the main question is.. how do i ask or tell them what actually is mine?

[::Art::]

Demand it back. That usually works.

you could go for the calm and subjective way...

'dya reckon I could have my stuff back too?'

or to sweet talk even more, add a please on it.

gl!!!

Yeah, if it was me i would just ask them straight when they came to pick their stuff up. Just say when they come 'oh and btw, do you still have my stuff cause i kinda need it back' or something along those lines. Then arrange a day you could go and pick it up? :)

Get a black bag, black and white suit with a gimp mask and climb up their pipe, sneak into the window and hire Drop Dead Fred tbh.

OT:
Ermmm... Yeh... What they all just said.

[Becca]

When they come, if they don't bring your stuff then just give them theirs. Then the next day drive to their house and ask for it. They can't really turn you down when you're at their doorstep. If they say no, then demand it.

"Mind that game and that book is mine, ya reckon i could get them back cos i kinda need them"

im always like yeah i'll need those clothes back by tomorrow thanks

and they have to come give me my clothes.......... or else they're being a ***** OR if i do wanna become friends again i go
'hey i'm coming over to collect my stuff' and then when i get there you know it's always easier to kinda say sorry face to face and then it's all good
AND i get my stuff back

[Bun]

just be like
oh btw would you mind bringing my x? i would appreciate it, cheers

[The Don]

However nerdy it is just tell them what it is, if you don't then you obviously do not want your stuff back. If you two are not friends it does'nt really matter if you are rude to them :)

[Black_Apalachi]

How can somebody have your stuff but not know which stuff is your stuff :S

Wait till they are out an then go ask their parents if you can pick something up? Simplez

[GoldenMerc]

I'd just bite the bullet and ask.

[DamianLove]

Send a friend to go get them. The amount of times I've had to do that for someone.

Once I had to get all the Lost box sets and the entire Friends collection.
Very embarrassing walking down the street dropping them all aha.

[Hitman]

Just ask for them back and arrange for them to come over or something. :S Massive dilemma shock horror!

[GommeInc]

Ask them if they know what stuff you mean, and you'll either get a "yeah, this and that" answer or a "what items do you mean?" response. Either way, you can just say "Umm, no, I mean the book and the game" or whatever. Hardly rude :)

[StripedTiger]

I'm guessing your teen right?
If you want them back to bad, drive to their house when your friend isnt in and say to their mum "oh blah blah said that they left out my game and book for me to collect? :)"
and when she cant find out, or go and "point them out."
Most chances are your friend won't even notice ;)

Well at the end of the day, its your stuff so when they come to collect the DVD, ring/text them and say "Oh and grab my _____ and _____ aswell."

Or you could just say like "Oh, do you remember my _____ I had?" If they say yes then say "Oh its still there? Well could you bring it with you when your coming for your DVD? Thanks" or something like that should work.

But tbh, you shouldn't really be.. shy? Cos its your stuff & if you want it back, then you should demand it.

[Special]

just say i'll give you your stuff in return for my stuff, if he then doesn't agree to that just say well then i'm keeping yourself

if that fails, just ask him straight up for your stuff back

if that doesn't work, threaten him lol
