Quite Irritated...

Ok, I'm going to word this carefully as I'm wellk aware that it appears petty. I must, however, stress that it is the priciple of the matter which is bugging me.

I'm female, and live with five other girls. Last night, one of the girls, let's call her X, made plans to go to a club with another of our housemates, for which she required a Student Card, as she'd lost her's. I gladly lent it to her, but joked that she shouldn't lose it.

Anyway, an hour ago, she tells he from the top of the stairs that she has "some good news and some bad news". "The bad news is that i've lost your card, buty mines turned up", which she semed rather amused about. I told her not to worry about it, but had a bit of a grumble. The rest of our house were sat in the lounge, where we then went to sit.

My boyfriend is playing in a very important rugby match tomorrow morning, for which I need my stuident card to enter. Despite my name being on the list, I cannot attend without one. As I won't be able to purchase a new card before 12pm, I'll have missed the match. When I lent X the card, I didn't tell her about this, and I still haven't.

Anyway, we were also planning to go to a club tomorrow for which I'll need the card. I've got a full day of lectures and won't have time to buy a new one in time for that either. So when I was in the room I said "****, I wont be able to come tomorrow cos I dont have a card". At which point, X said "God are you still going on about that?!". For some reason, and I dopnt know why, I apologised for making a fuss and blamed it on being a brat. Wish I hadnt done that. Anyway, when I left the house, she appeared to be ignoring me, or at least behaving a little funny.

Now, I'm really quite angry. When I return home tonight, the subject will be raised. The two housemates in question tend to socialise outside our group although we are friends. Am I over-reacting? It's just that I really wanted to go to my boyfriends bloody match! Its a huge deal for him and I cant quite bring myself round to tell him.

Well i would not be amused if that happened to me, in future don't ever give your student card to anyone.

Why not ask to borrow her card for the match?

She doesn't quite understand how she let you down and threw your generosity back in your face. Let her know.

It's just our Uni library card, with my name, student number and photo on the back. We've both got dark hair and she'd have got away with it in a busy queue. It's needed for the club basically to prove you're a student

I would, but I need to match my name on the list against the card, but thank you for the suggestion x

Well, just take it along and if they spot its not you, apologise and say you must've picked up your friends. Then show them a bank card/driving license/anything with your name on it to show that you are you. If you're name is on the list and you've got a housemates card, then they're probably gonna let you in as you must be a student.

Sounds like she doesn't have much respect for other peoples things, borrow her card and lose it.

She lost my hard having had her "Purse stolen", so it wasn't her fault, it was just the way she showed no sincerity, waited til the evening to tell me and then laughed about it which pised me off. Anmd also the way, she's now apparently told her boyfriend about how much i over reacted, and that I should have no problem buying a new one as my "parents are loaded". My friend just text me having just spoken to her!

Dont really fancy ww3 just because of a bloody library card! Its just the downright disrespect!

I'm afraid you're just gonna have to punch her, its the only option remaining.

we were given a form or summat from the uni and told to use that as a form of student id if it ever went missing.

surely the uni would be able to create someting temporary for you ??

We don't have your form system, we just have to pay £15 to get a replacement. But apparently, she doesn't have any money and doesn't want to use her birthday money, seeing as she "doesnt weant to waste it".

That's ridiculous, have a go at her about it because it isn't fair on you is it? Why should you have to pay for her losing one of your posessions. Someone said take hers and lose it out of spite, I think you should take hers and cut it in half with some scissors infront of her. It might teach her respect for other peoples things
