Friend using my netflix

[Netflix89]

Hi all

So my friend Was texting the other day & really wanted to watch a documentary that’s only available on Netflix. I offered my log in details so she could watch it.
Now found out via texting back n forth that she’s been on it every night since, it doesn’t stop me watching it but I just thinking how cheeky! When I only offered it her to watch 1 thing.

AIBU?

By the way I know there’s more pressing things going on in life just wanted another opinion.

I can't imagine caring. I would only mention it if it stopped me watching something... Maybe I'd make her own profile on it

I assume you only have the basic account? So there will be tines when you both try and watch and one of you is blocked from watching.
So that will be annoying.
If you are paying for extra screens, why if just you?
My parents also have my Netflix log in do I paid the extra £2 or so, so we can all watch it (well 2 of us can out of 4 adults).

Gosh it happens to us from time to time , but my DD pays for 2 and sometimes 3 of us want to watch so we can't get on because they're both watching!
I suppose it depends on how many friends you give the details to. And as a pp said... if you pay for 4 and there's 3 of you, one friend is OK.

I heard Netflix was going to tighten up on this, not sure if it's true.

But doesn't anyone think it's a cheek that the OP specifically gave her the login for one thing she wanted to watch, and she's been on there every night since without asking??
That's rude in my book

don't have Netflix and don't want to pay for it either, can someone PM me with their details please. Also can you let me borrow your;

Ask bluntness, she apparently doesn't mind at all. grin

You're not a friend though, are you?

She should have asked. I agree its rude/cheeky.

Pah! easy solution.....

Ask if you can borrow her Sky/Amazon Prime/Spotify/Whatever login occasionally

Or she can buy a round time you’re out together.

Or just be happy you’re doing a good deed. You’re saving that person spending £12 a month o their own Netflix ....

Its understandable if you’re all sharing various accounts with your friends and family. But to expect someone to pay so that you can watch and give nothing in return is cheeky. For example, if someone drove you to work everyday wouldn’t you at least offer some petrol money or give a gift? I think sharing an account with your family especially parents, children and siblings is very different to sharing with friends.

Surprised you haven’t cancelled Netflix, I thought most decent people had over the pedophillic ‘Cuties’. Just do that, problem sorted.

And before anyone says ‘but have you actually SEEN it?!’ yes, yes I have. I wanted to see if it had just been a hysterical overreaction or misunderstanding.

I was left sickened. It is pedo wank fodder.

11 year old children flashing their bare breasts, sucking their fingers and twerking, talking about sex constantly, watching and repeating sex scenes.

How anyone who isn’t a pedophile or a supporter of pedophiles still has a Netflix subscription baffles me. It’s not like there isn’t plenty of other streaming services that aren’t sexually exploiting children for adult gratification.

Without asking and establishing some rules it is absolutely unreasonable.

Given some of the responses in this thread she quite likely doesn't think it makes a difference. This means she probably doesn't understand how the profiles work and may leave multiple devices logged in and allow access to her family and friends.

She could always search youtube etc, get her own netflix account for a modest cost, ask her own family for their log ins, or become familiar with torrents.

I've said repeatedly it's cheeky BUT it's not exactly the crime of the century.

I couldn't lose any sleep over it.

If I give someone access to my Netflix account I know they are able to watch whatever whenever they want. If I wasn't ok with them doing that I wouldn't give them the login details.

Doe she realise it's costing you a monthly fee? Very cheeky of her. Def change your password.

She's definitely a CF!

A friend of mine gave me her Sky details so I could watch the last series of GoT on my laptop when it was released, rather than waiting for the DVD to come out. I had tried NowTV and would have paid a couple of months for that, but it wouldn't let me download onto a device and I would have had to watch it on my phone which was far from ideal!

As soon as it was over I deleted her details - why wouldn't I? I also gave a her a bottle of wine to say thanks. I know it didn't cost her anything, but it was thanks for trusting me not to abuse it.

Amusingly, she's now borrowing my dvds to watch it as she's finally relented and given in!

I drive someone to work and back every day. She lives on my route so there is literally no hardship for me (aside maybe from having to make conversation in the morning when I just want to shut up and drive). I wouldn't ever expect her to contribute, aside from her occasionally making me a coffee when we get there. I offered the favour, she didn't ask, so she doesn't owe me anything. Sometimes it's nice just to be kind for the sake of being kind.

Can't understand how many people would be bothered by this. You've helped out a friend with no detriment to yourself. The issue is what exactly?

I'm not directing my comments at you personally!
Of course it's not the crime of the century, never said it was, but it is CF territory AFAIC

OP it's fine if she acknowledges that she's using it every night and you're OK with it. Personally I just would be saying something. A thanks or asking if it's OK.

My mum uses my Netflix account for free but I think the difference is she's offered to go half on the cost several times as she appreciates there's cost to me.

How long has she had the account for? She could just be cramming in as many things as possible before signing out which wouldn't bother me.

If its been a while then I do think its a bit cheeky for her to use it without even asking. Just change your password and if she mentions it tell her for security you change all your passwords every 6 months and you hadnt realised she was still using it. A previous poster is right, she could give your details to someone else who you don't know who then changes your account.

I don't know a single person who has cancelled their subscription over this. There must be so , so many paedo sympathisers I know.

With regards to the OP, I think YABU. It's not affecting you, why would you care? I'd be glad my friend was getting something for free, courtesy of me. Not like it's costing you any extra.

Yes it’s a bit cheeky to do it this way but maybe offer a trade off for example my friend pays for Netflix I pay for disney+ and we share them.

People have close friends. Some of them as close , or closer than family.

See what series she's watching, skip to the last episode and watch a few seconds. When she starts up Netflix and clicks on the show, she'll be on the last episode and the recap will be full of spoilers.

Or you could just ask her nicely to stop if it bothers you.

@DisorganisedPurpose

I'm amazed at all this sharing of accounts. I don't know the t&cs of Netflix but most things like this only allow sharing within a household.

As PP said sharing of passwords and account details is extremely bad practice. I do hope you don't use the same password for any other accounts OP. The is a thing called identify theft. If your details get passed around enough, your identity could be used assumed and used in fraudulent activity.

I'm particulary amazed at people sharing Amazon Prime because we have our payment cards on that for purchases so sharing login details around means anyone making a purchase can use any registered card on the account. That could easily go wrong either deliberately or by accident withe sharers not using their own card or resharing with further less well meaning parties.

This did happen to me once. My friend clicked to pay for a movie accidentally. She immediately just transferred me the money.

I have it now set to need a pin to purchase so the accident doesn't happen again.

To me this is similar to a friend borrowing anything without asking. Just because you lend something to somebody once doesn't mean that they are free to use it again as much as they want without asking. It doesn't really matter if you aren't using it anyway. It's very cheeky.

The point is that you can have 3 users. If she's using your mum's profile then it's harder for your mum to ever use it. The purpose of profiles is so that you can watch something at your own pace not a family member's.

As you pay half with your brother maybe change the password and say your brother felt uneasy someone else using the profile set aside for your mum.

I drive someone to work and back every day. She lives on my route so there is literally no hardship for me (aside maybe from having to make conversation in the morning when I just want to shut up and drive).

Sometimes it's nice just to be kind for the sake of being kind.

You must be saving her a lot of money. It would be a courtesy for her to pass some of that on to you even in the form of a small gift. Is she happy to make other arrangements if you’re not going in, going in later due to an appointment or staying late for some reason or want to shop on the home or something? It’s a commitment to give someone a lift every day even if it is on your way.
