Hypothetical sitch for you guys and girls*... A girl leaves an item at your place. For this example, let's say the item is a phone charger. But not the kind of phone charger that you use so it's pretty useless to have it.
How much effort do you put into returning the phone charger? She knows you have it and you've tried a couple of times to get it back to her. When is it ok to give up, but still be considered respectful?
Again, all completely hypothetical.
*Mrs. Gooch is the only one I listen to ITT so this is pretty much aimed at her.
