To be irritated when someone chases me for sponsorship?

[CruCru]

A friend sent me an email asking me to sponsor her for something. Today she texted me to ask whether I got it. AIB a misery to find this a bit rude? Perhaps I just have sponsorship fatigue, loads of people seem to be doing triathlons etc and want to be sponsored.

No, it irritates the shite out of me.

But I can be very antisocial ...

Gets on my tits too. I'm fed up being badgered in every way and across all social media platforms to sponsor folk. I give what I can, when I can but for goodness sake, it's a choice to donate/sponsor! Stop with the pestering. At work sponsor sheets go round the office with envelopes staples on and the names of everyone on so you pay the money up front, and tick off your name and are shamed into paying whatever the first donor has paid to avoid looking like a skinflint to the rest of the office [sigh]

Yanbu. A colleague I used to work with 10 years ago recently kept sending me a blanket group text asking for sponsorship. He sent at least 5 and I found it so annoying. At least bloody ask me how I am and send me a personal text to make me feel vaguely special! Needless to say, I didn't sponsor him or reply!

But...
If you don't want to sponsor them, just say so. Otherwise they might just think you haven't seen their message, or haven't got round to it yet...
It's ok to say no.

Depends on how close you are as friends - if its something really important to her then maybe when you didn't reply the first time she thought you didn't receive the message.
