To have said this to my friend?

[estimation1]

I met up with my friend, and was talking to her about how DS wants to go to a football match and how expensive it is, she told me she knows as her partner takes her son to them often, she then told me that as her DS is quite small for his age, they still buy him a child's ticket (he's 16 so would need an adults) and no one questions anything.

I told her that I was surprised that they've never been questioned. She then told me that her partner tells her son to say he's 14 if anyone asks. I told her I was shocked at the encouraging him to lie and that I didn't think it was right buying the wrong tickets as it is stealing. Friend then left

Was I BU?

It’s fraud. Just like buying a child’s train ticket when you need an adult one.

If I were to do it and get caught, I’d be struck off. It’s that simple.

I didn't pay my 5 year old's bus fair today.

We're not discussing whether it's right to do it, we're discussing whether it's necessary to tell a friend off for doing so.

You sound pretty sanctimonious tbh.

Yabu to be so judgemental . I used to get an under 16 bus ticket until I was 19/20 😨🙈 one of the perks of looking far younger 😅 nobody ever questioned it and I was a broke student.

I'm enjoying the thought of the OP hearing this from her friend and clutching her throat and saying "GASP I'm shocked" and then presumably she took out her smelling salts to revive herself

Not quite sure what you achieved by saying what you did.

I'd have thought less of her, but wouldn't have said so. There would have been absolutely no point in doing so, and I don't really understand why you did.

So YANBU for thinking she was dishonest, but YABU for preaching at her.

Lol sorry you are unreasonable! I looked young for my age and still do. I got away with an under 16 ticket at cinema for years lol

I’d find that a bit prissy. Don’t know if I’d have left though

Yabu

I don't know if I would've said anything but I sure as hell would not have approved and would view that friend differently. If you think it's OK to defraud a big company "who can afford it" then you're on a slippery slope. I'm surprised at all the stick you're getting, OP, for sticking up for what's right.

It was actually shown on TV by Basil Brush who then proceeded to make fun of it and my spelling.

@youaresunshine that is terrible!

YANBU, you can say how you feel, it's ok to say you don't think something is right. If your friend can't stomach that, i think that's her issue,

I think you had to be there for this one, and hear how things were said. If you just said " oh, I couldn't do that, I'd feel guilty" and moved on, YANBU, and your friend was bu for storming off. If you made an issue of it yavu.
