Okay, okay, okay…here we go. What clothes of yours would you feel free to lend out…? Shirts, undergarments, what? Personally, I’m fairly liberal with this kind of thing…I’ll share pants, skirts, shorts - just about anything except for my little G-friends and company. But lately, this generousity of mine has been severely abused. 
This girl I know, ME— er wait…better yet, “Lady X” “borrowed” my most favorite yellow pants today. She bought a belt to wear them, so I suppose she figured she had some kind of specific right to them. Alright, that would have been fine except…(smacks forehead)… she noticed a few “People Y’s” snickering at her toward the end of a long, hard day - all of the sudden, everything made sense to “Lady X” - the bloating, the cramping, the moodswings (you guys get the picture, right?). (Shudders) I wouldn’t have known any of this except for the fact that I overheard a conversation she was having - MY PANTS! MY YELLOW HAPPY PANTS! She borrows my room, my stereo, my cellphone - fine…but nooott theeee ppaaaannnttttsssss…I’ll never feel right wearing them again. :*( So guys, how far is “too far”?
Well, on a scale of 1 to 10 (one being slightly to far, and 10 being way to far) I’d have to say this is a 500… thousand. Unless of course what you really wanted was red pants. But I’m sensing that’s not the case. I’m sure most will agree with me here that this issue with her needs to be confronted, or else one day, before you know it… it will be your “G” friends and accessories.

Gee… that sucks…
Personally my clothes are worth lending out. I’s a scrub 
and guys dont lend out clothes… umm never mind…
Hmmmm … let’s see … you borrowed my pants and then you bled menstrual ooooooze (extra o’s added for effect) all over them! … time to step up to the microphone and apologize (men know what the microphone is … we all have one).
::smacks forehead::
You know, I had to read Tuerca’s post before I figured out what happened… Ick. I’d say that’s too far.
sigh I must say, however, that I really do wish that I had girls as eager to get into my happy pants… 
lol…“happy” pants, eh? Oh my.
“too far” for what? You’re not going to wear the pants again, are you? That would be a tad over the line for me.

Took me a minute to figure out what happened. That sucks beyond all realms of sucking. I say burn the pants and chain your closet door shut. That’s just me, though.
That really sucks! I don’t think I’d ever let her wear anything of mine again and I would not wear those yellow pants again. Wrap them in a gift box and give them to her as a gift. Tell her you already had your period, you don’t need hers too.
I want to know what kind of woman doesn’t know what’s going on!! I mean, couldn’t she feel it when she started?! Didn’t she keep track of her cycle?!
Maybe I’m a little anal about, being pretty irregular and all, but sheesh!
I think she owes you a new pair of pants.
Here’s my scenario:
HER: Hey, whatcha doin?
YOU: Deep cleaning these pants.
HER: Ahhh. Anything else planned today?
YOU: Well, actually yes. And you’re a big part of it.
HER: Really? Is it going to be fun?
YOU: Oh, yes. First, we’re going shopping.
HER: Cool! What for?
YOU: Happy, yellow pants.
HER: Oh, you want me to buy my own pair, don’t you?
YOU: Nooooo. You’re going to buy ME a new pair.
HER: And you’re going to make me buy myself a pair so I leave yours alone…
YOU: Oh, no. You’ve already claimed these in the most primal way. They belong to you now.
Trust me. If she has to buy you new clothes and none for herself, it won’t take long for her to figure out that she could just be buying the new clothes for herself. Give her the pants. You’ll never wear them again.
LittleStar, I don’t think anyone makes me laugh on a more consistant basis then you. Not that having your pants, um, ruined is funny, but the way that you word things (“happy yellow pants”) just slays me.
It’s sad that you have to do anything at all. She should know how to be responsible. I think it’s only fair that she buy you some new happy pants.
Strutter is exactly right. Give her the pants, and demand a replacement. Now, you can’t get too mad, because these things happen. But what you can get mad about is her lack of taking responsibility after the ‘incident’.
If it were me (and being a guy, the situation would have to be altered a bit), I’d be the most apologetic sumbitch in the world. I’d have already gone out looking for a replacement pair. No question. If not, I’d bleed on her favorite clothing item. Seriously.
Connor: The situation could stay roughly the same, but the second you start bleeding on the pants, I’d recommend getting to the emergency room AS FAST AS YOU POSSIBLY COULD!
LS: Yes, happy pants. They could be happier though… 
She owes you pants. If not the same ones (because they are unavailable now) something nicer and of your choosing. Those pants are marked in the most personal of ways. You can’t take them back anymore. If your buddy does not agree, you just don’t lend her pants anymore.
Eeek!
Hell, I wouldn’t lend her anything less sturdy than an anvil.
Blecccchhh! NEVER, EVER lend her ANYTHING, EVER again. And if she asks why, tell her. And burn the pants.
Although, I do like the idea of giving her the pants. Along with a bill for whatever they cost, plus a bit extra tacked on for emotional distress.
Yecch.
Not what happened isn’t gross, and she needs to buy you replacement pants. But is the question “how far is “too far” when it comes to what clothes you borrow”? Now, pants aren’t that personal I guess unless either of you like to go pantiless or tend to …um…you know, dry hump in them alot. So, her habit of borrowing stuff would annoy me, but I don’t think the happy yellow pants crosses that line. And you can’t be pissed at her for borrowing them, until you tell her to stop.
You should be pissed if she doesn’t do the right thing and replace them (the risk of borrowing stuff is replacing it when accidents happen), but you can’t really get pissed because she borrowed something you felt she shouldn’t have. If you have a open borrowing policy, you gotta accept that these things happen, and hope your friends are good friends about fixing it. Now, the alternative is to place ground rules to her so she knows what she can and can’t borrow, or make her ask everytime so you can veto it if needed. But until you’re clear with her, its just as much your fault as it is hers.
Now, had she been wearing your happy pants and then decided to wear them to Woodstock and roll around in mud and feces without stopping to think who’s clothes she was dirtying then kill her, but as nasty and (maybe) irresponsible as this was, its not intentional, and therefore not worth being the topic of the arguement.
The worse part of this story, to me, is that she didn’t tell you. You said you had to overhear her conversation to find out. Man that is so wrong. If you are going to claim something in a primal way (as struuter says), the LEAST you could do is fess up to it.
OR you could confront her ala Seinfeld - lock yourself in HER room for 5 minutes, then come out and say “Now something of yours has been bled upon”
