to get irritated at cheeky friend?

[MrsMc82]

Grrrrrrr friend just text to see if I have membership to a local touristy place - she knows I do - and if so can she use it - no hi, no "know it's cheeky to as but...." no thanks - am I being unreasonable to think as got a bloody cheek!?

As others have said I'd happily lend it unless it was a regular thing in which case it would seem fair to buy their own or buy a joint one.

I wouldn't mind for a good friend again if it was occasional use. The venue doesn't really miss out as most people spend a bit of money somewhere even if its an ice cream or something in the gift shop which they wouldn't have sold otherwise.
That said the friends I would be happy to loan to certainly have better manners than your friend seems to!

Would you climb a fence to avoid paying or run out of a restaurant without settling your bill? I don't seee any difference between these examples & fraudulently using someone elses card. I would expect anyone caught doing this to have charges of theft to be pressed against them as they knowingly sought to get financial advantage for themselves by abusing the system.
Whilst the few posters who have responded here say that they wouldn't have a problem with it, this does not necessarily reflect general public opinion. If you do this & find yourself in court & subject to local media coverage as a consequence & the embarrasement that follows...it's well deserved IMO.

Does she tend to be a bit of a taker?

I wouldn't mind if she did nice things for me! ....but if she was always doing things like this and asking favours I would start to say no.

If she is a prooper friend YABVU and that isn't cheeky to a good mate. Jeez, a good mate drops all daft formalities surely?

"Daft formalities"?! It's fraud. Pure and simple. Your friend is pretending to be you. To act as though the OP is being unreasonable to have qualms about breaking the law is BVVVU.

Sorry I meant about not say 'sorry to be cheeky'. I f I was asking my mate for something I would ask outright. As would my mate. Wouldn't cross my mind that someone might get upset about that.

Have to say our local RHS has cottoned on to the loaning thing and sometimes asks for proof of id theses days...

Text back 'you're welcome'.

I wouldn't lend out a card like this - as others have said, it may well be prohibited by the membership rules, and I wouldn't want to lose the card/membership if I was caught lending the card out.

Also, as others have said, your friend is defrauding the visitor attraction (and you are colluding in this), because she is not paying the entrance price - I think that is wrong, ethically and morally.

Depends , sounds like there's background to this, if its a one off then YABU.
