Many people do come to visit me especially on sundays cause they know that is the best time to catch me up at home ,as am always on the move,however in recent times i discovered that many people take liberty at just taking my things without seeking permission and i onlydiscover thisafter they have left,so sometimes i find i have to call them to ask and they will say they are sorry but will return it,now i hate this as i mostly dont get to use these items as at when i need them,do you feel bad when people do this to you?

So just plain ol thievery! Stealing is the only way to chalk this one up, even though it is returned. To borrow, you're asked, stealing is taking without knowing. U did not know, so it was stolen from u.
Happy to hear your stuff was returned, mine usually never comes back!!

Of course I will feel bad about this. Why on earth are they doing this to you? I think they do not have the appropriate manners while attending to another person's house. I will never take things from other people's home even if I am close to them, what more taking things without permission means stealing. I think maybe they are having something going on inside their head, whether they are jealous of you because you have the thing but they didn't. Or maybe they want the thing but didn't have the money and they think you can buy another one easily. But their attitude of not telling you is an attitude which could not be considered as normal.

[i]Hi BYOLA,
ohhh..that will piss me off but haven't experience that yet with my relatives and friends...They always ask permission whenever they want to borrow something from me, if ever that will happen to me, I will really talk to them that I don't like what they are doing and they have to respect me![/i]

its always the best to ask before taking things that belongs to other people as there are times when the owner will need it badly and would have accused someone else of taking such things,it can be annoying too.

to me that is stealing.. and i would not put up with that. they need to ask to use it or take it. those people will not be allow in my house.. i had people came in my house and stole from us before and they weren't allow in my house again, a few got a butt whipping too for stealing from me.
so people who comes over know steal from me, good chance of getting a whipping, and never being allow in here again.

oh i would be furious! i hate thieves and dont consider anybody who steals from me a friend at all!
do you know who is doing it? or do you actually think a couple different ppl are stealing from you? what type of things are they taking?
if you know who it is, i would confront them, demand your property back and then make it clear to them that they are NOT welcome in your home any longer! they obviously cannot be trusted..so therefore they arent a friend.
i wouldnt be feeling bad, id be mad!

i know who did it at that time so all i did was just to ring him up and ask as if i knew he took it and he simply own up and said he will return it as sson as he is through with them,i didnt like that so i simply asked why he refused to ask for permission before taking which he eventually apologised

For me I really cant tolerate people doing like that, like taking things away without even seeking your permission. For me its just like stealing, I sometimes get so much angry on them thinking that are not that affordable to buy simple things too. I just straight away tell them on their face if they take things which are my favorites. Its ok if it is my very close sister or mother but then some people do think that we dont say them anything and take the liberty to take things away from us which they we buy with lots of struggle and strain. I cannot like such people who behave like that and i dont mind telling them not to come to my home if they are not that close to me.

Hi friend, I think its considered as stealing although they are your friends but taking your things without your permission is definitely stealing. Either they dont respect you or they find you too nice so that they take things as and when they like! i hate people who take my things without my permission and i will definitely feel bad if people take my things as and when they like! i would suggest you to talk to them and warn them to stop taking your things!
