[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can request an item be returned, but you have to be reasonable. It's not always possible for someone to return it immediately or at the exact date/time you specify. If someone accidentally took your sweater from the office, would it be ok to call and ask them to return it at 10pm because you really need it? Of course not.[/quote]

I think it really comes down to this. Requesting the item be returned is fine. Demanding the time and place for a small item is making a mountain out of a mole hill. There is being in the right and there is being a gracious person. The requesting mom might be technically in the right in the sense that the other child made the mistake and that mistake should be righted. But, a gracious person would never ask for something onerous from another person when a small effort by herself could rectify the situation. Stopping at Target between DC and Jersey is not difficult and a nice person would have done this instead of calling in the first place. [/quote]

+1 it's called having manners.

No wonder so many posting here don't get it! [/quote]
