Subscription piggy backing from old friend

25 replies

ItsMischerWavy · 18/01/2020 22:19

I formed a close friendship with someone a few years ago and added her to my subscription on a music streaming app as I had space. Over the past 18 months I no longer hear from her at all however I've never deleted from the subscription. One of my step kids needed the slot so I deleted the absent friend and within 15 mins I got a shirty text about it.

WIBU for deleting?

I don't think I was but would like some opinions. Thankyou.

So she hadn't contributed financially, you're no longer in contact and she thought you were going to keep providing the free subscription to her? What a cheeky mare. I'd text back "nice try!"

ItsMischerWavy · 18/01/2020 22:24

Yes, that's exactly it!

And the award for CF of the year goes to......

Seaandsand83 · 18/01/2020 22:29

What was her message??

ItsMischerWavy · 18/01/2020 22:30

Seeing all these votes makes me feel an awful lot less shitty about it!

Hahahaha!!!! She's kidding right????

No you weren't unreasonable. At all. It's for family use, surely.

DH just did the same thing actually, only it was his brother sharing the app. He took his brother off to add me again, as it was my slot that I hadn't been using but then decided I wanted to start using it. Our DC have the other slots. Brother either hadn't been using it anyway or got his own sub.

I'm not totally mean, btw, I share my login to a couple of online newspaper subscriptions with friends.

What did she say?

NoFucksImAQueen · 18/01/2020 22:32

Did you text back?

RhymingRabbit3 · 18/01/2020 22:32

Tell her you are no longer using the service and make sure you change your password.

Saddler · 18/01/2020 22:33

Unbelievable, the brass neck of some people. Just tell her to do one

MoaningMinniee · 18/01/2020 22:33

A heads up message to let her know would have been civilised. But no arguments - this is what IS happening, not a negotiation.

ItsMischerWavy · 18/01/2020 22:38

Started with a text saying she'd had an email saying I'd removed her and was that right. I replied explaining the situation and that I'd removed all bar DP etc and why (ie. I have no idea if you're even using the subscription!) got a long, passive aggressive reply about how her late teenage kids use the subscription with a sob story about playlist thrown in.

Ps. I am not a heartless witch! It's just annoyed me!

Late teenage kids as in late teens or late as in recently deceased?

Pipandmum · 18/01/2020 22:44

I think you should have texted her first letting her know but fine to take her off the list.

CakeandCustard28 · 18/01/2020 22:45

I’d honestly wouldn’t even bother replying. What a cheeky mare! Can’t expect to use your things if she hasn’t even spoken to you in over a year.

Zoecarter · 18/01/2020 22:50

Is it Spotify?? She should still beable to access’s playlists made from her new subscription.

ItsMischerWavy · 18/01/2020 22:50

As in latter part of teenage years 😊

Bloody cheek!

Cherrysoup · 18/01/2020 23:01

I wouldn’t even arse myself to reply, except for possibly a link for her to start her own subscription and how you fail to see why you should pay £££ for her kids to use it!! CF!

BumbleBeee69 · 18/01/2020 23:01

She's a cheeky freeloading cow... Flowers

mummyof2darlings · 18/01/2020 23:13

Send her the link on how to create her own account 😂😂

NewAgain123 · 18/01/2020 23:13

No, after no contact from her in 18 months, I wouldn't have contacted her before removing her

Minky35 · 18/01/2020 23:16

Block the CF so you don’t have to get any more whiny messages. She should buy her own bloody subscription.
