to think having to 'pay back' 2 paracetamol is very weird?

[bamboostalks]

Had shocking period pains at work last week so asked if anyone had any tablets. Colleague (who has always seemed normal) gave me 2 parcetamol (generic now, nothing fancy). Thought no more of it. Today she says, " Sorry Bamboo but wonder whether you have those 2 paracetamol you owe me?" I was goggling at her trying to work out what she meant and she promptly reminded me of the situation. How bizarre is that? I was so miffed that I nipped out and bought her a packet and left them on her desk.

Interesting.

Maybe they were her emergency supply?

That is utterly bizarre. YANBU

But some people are odd, and it takes a while to show it.

Oh well. You did the right thing.

Did she need some and had run out or something? Bizarre if not.

I had to pay a millionaire back 12p once.

that's odd if you ask me, have you had any from her before?

Loon

How bizarre.

Even if she needed some right then, to refer to them as 'the paracetamol you owe me' is very weird.

Yanbu - odd behaviour.

That is so bizarre. 2 paracetomol!

I lent someone a Calpol Fastmelt today for their ds.

I shall expect it to replaced by 8am tomorrow morning.

Maybe she was in pain or something? The cost of 2 paractomol must be about 2p.

wow, that has made me chuckle.

She must have been in need herself I think, and just worded her request wrongly. Otherwise that is very very strange!

god it reminds me why i hate working in an office!

Maybe she needed some and felt she could ask you as she had given you some before, and then it came out all weird?

That's hilarious! How odd!

Oh oh oh! Has she ever borrowed your sugar or coffee? Then you can walk past and ask for your two spoonfuls of sugar back! ROFPMSL

Make sure you get your change.

I once had to pay my very tight-arsed cousin for a pint of milk, was 27p at the time. She asked for the cash, I rummaged in my pocket and could only stump up 25p. "Oh, I'll get the 2p off you when you've got some change", she said...and do you know what, she bloody well did!

I really couldn't be arsed to be so stingy.

Happy to receive these responses, told my mum on the phone tonight and she says, "Well I always told you, never a borrower or lender be!" That peed me off.
She didn't need them immediately but said that they were her last ones and she doesn't like to be without a supply.

Weird. I gave one of the students on my course £2 as she didn't have enough to buy her lunch. I told her to keep it but she posted it through my letter box. Weird. It's like someone asking if you have a spare tampon then asking you for it back.

I agree with Norky - she must have needed some herself and had run out, and just phrased her request a bit strangely.

Or she is a nutcase.

But the first explanation more probable, I feel.

Further craziness, I have just remembered that her husband works in Tesco so could get them anytime.

Bizarre behaviour.

I needed 20p at the end of school last Friday (library book sale).

A friend lent it me (seemed no probs at the time) then phoned me late Friday to ask if i could drop it off the next morning as she needed it to pay at church on Sunday morning.

Either her Dh had a go at her lending it to me or .........um can't think of another reason really.

Um..........
