Friend asked me to do a lateral flow before I met her today ....cheeky?

[reeedleed]

I have zero covid symptoms
I've had all 3 jabs she's had none
She doesn't believe in using anti bac /hand gel (fair enough )
Yet she had the audacity to ask me to do a lateral flow?
Aibu to think it's cheeky ?

I don't think there is any harm in asking if she's concerned about it. You can say no. That being said, if she's not using hand gel etc. it seems a bit excessive.

Yabvu. Where's the harm in checking?

did she ask to see the result?

I think it depends? Is she ECV? Has she got something important coming up that she can't risk missing? I don't think bring cautious is a reason to be upset with her.

So a covid denier? Or antivaxer? Or just strange

Probably sensible rather than cheeky given that she’s not been vaccinated!

It wouldn't be unreasonable if it was someone who has had all the jabs they can and takes all the precautions they can. If they couldn't have the vaccines for some reason then yes fair enough. But this person isn't putting any priority at all on putting effort in herself to limit risks, and LFTs are no longer free, so no she is being cheeky.

In those circumstances I would ask her to provide the test.

Did she do one too?! 🤷🏼‍♀️

if she was immuno compromised - fair enough
Hasn't been arsed to get vaccinated or use hand sanitiser - only if she pays for the test.

Not at all. Your friend was being immensely sensible.

Hand sanitiser is pointless theatre for an airborne virus. I dont think she's cheeky to ask you to test

YABVU

Not enough info here, but I wouldn't presume cheekiness based on what you've told us.

Bit hypocritical if you ask me

Depends why she hasn’t had the vaccines.

If it’s because she’s a covid denier generally then it’s odd.

If it’s because she couldn’t have them then it’s eminently sensible of her.

If it’s neither of these but your DH/kids/person you had lunch with on Thursday have covid also sensible.

YABU and of course it’s not cheeky. You don’t have to meet up with her if you object to doing one.

Yes, she’s cheeky. She’s the unvaccinated one who doesn’t use hand gel. Why should the onus be on everyone else to do their bit and protect her when she can’t even be arsed to do as much as keep her hands clean. Is she offering proof to you that she is safe to be around?

Strange for someone who hasn’t been vaccinated and doesn’t believe in anti bac is a fan of lateral flow tests.
What’s the story there?

Totally cheeky imo. Is she doing one herself and why is she asking you to do one? As in, because she is travelling soon, is very worried about catching Covid (seems unlikely if no vaccines) or something else?

Will she be doing one? If so ok I suppose but she can piss off if she sees this as one way traffic.

She's being very unreasonable. Unless imuno-compromised?

Does she has health anxiety?

Is she immuno-supressed or is anyone in her immediate household? Is she visiting a nursing home in the next few days? Or a very elderly relative?

It isn't unreasonable for her to ask. If you don't want to, just say so.

Just tell you did one and it was negative. Job done.

Yes, she is being cheeky. If she isn't vaccinated and doesn't use hand gel she can't be too concerned about covid, so asking for a test is ridiculous. Does she ask everyone to do a test before she meets up with them?
