Where I work a young lady joined us about 6 months ago. She's 19 and lives at home. This is her first real job.
I don't know her massively well as I work in a different office but I see her when she goes out for a smoke and I have a vape and we have a chat.
She seems nice enough and has asked to borrow money on 3 occasions this month. She owes me £120 so far.
I don't usually lend money and the 3rd time I lent her some I said to myself no more as if she doesn't repay me I'm going to have to ask for it and I absolutely hate that.
A lady from our other branch does book club sales. I think it's the book people, a few books toys gifts etc and this young girl collects the money. The women in the office lap it up for there grandchildren.
I'm not in work today but she's messaged me and ask if she can urgently borrow £80. I said no sorry I can't help.
Get another message begging as she's borrowed the money from the book club orders that are now being collected tomorrow instead of Monday (we get paid Monday) she was going to put the money back as soon as she got paid to me and book club but is now skint.
I could in theory lend her the money but I really don't want to lend her anymore. Plus I think she's taken the piss that she's taken the money that doesn't actually belong to her.
AIBU to not lend her anymore money?
