Is this cheeky?

[Isthischeek]

Acquaintance I don’t know very well but trying to become friendly with asked me to go to an activity today - just us two no one else. When I got there she told me she has a two vouchers which will expire Sunday so used them to buy ticket. No cost at all to her so basically free. I said she didn’t need to do that and I could have brought my own ticket she said I can just put the amount I would have paid in her bank account. I didn’t think much about it. Got home and she messaged me her bank details.

I’ve transferred the £31.50 into her account. She got the tickets free from work btw and has had them for 6 months, some I think she said she used up but didn’t use her last 2 which she did today. They expire Sunday. It’s an activity I would never had done but I messaged her last week to get lunch/dinner today as she’s been asking me to let her know some dates I’m free and she suggested this activity. No mention of vouchers at that time for context. I didn’t want to appear rude so just said sounds good.

Do you think this is cheeky or just makes sense?

It's cheeky she's asked you to go so she can get the cash value of it back in her bank. She likely had no one else to go with and it would of expired unused.

She is frankly a grabby cf... She charged you for her freebies!!
Who the fuck does that??. Except her obviously!!

Oh my god I can't believe you did this

Thank you all, I had a feeling I might be overthinking.

She’s a cf. Not someone I’d trust, or want anything to do with.

Why would you have paid?? The vouchers were free and she asked you if you wanted to go.🤔

You should have just said Thank You.

I am inclined to think she was cheeky, but you did say that she didn’t need to use her free about to expire ticket on you. I am not sure why you said that really.

i’m trying to see it from her point of view, I’m really trying as don’t want to judge too harshly! But could she have a point in doing this? Maybe she thought it would be a nice way to get to know each other and maybe she thought I would have paid anyway so she might as well use her voucher and I pay her instead?

I don't understand her thinking of why she thinks you should pay for a ticket she got for free?

And I also don't understand why you sent her money for a ticket she got for free?

Really greedy of her. I would probably have done the same as you this time, but be wary in future.

Instead of just thanking her it seems to me like you almost insisted on paying.
She was making you feel fine.

Proceed with paying your own way when you are both out together.

She’s awful. Awful! Don’t befriend her!

@user1492757084 but she sent her bank details later on when I got home. So she was expecting payment.

See I would just have said, no problem you can get drinks later or something like that so that way her vouchers would have been used and we could have got some nice cocktails for £30+. We left after the activity didn’t go anywhere else.

Thats not just cheeky but bloody stingy! I’d be distancing myself.

She sent them once she had access to them and only after you insisted that you would have preferred to have paid rather than take her free ticket.

There are some people who do not like to be beholden unto another and perhaps she now thinks you are one of those.

Nooooo that's awful!! She invited you just to sell you a ticket that she got for free that would have been valueless in a couple of days. Wiiiiiide berth in future!

I said she didn’t need to do that and I could have brought my own ticket

You offered to pay for your ticket. She accepted. I don't see how you can now complain about her taking the money you offered to her.

I wouldn't bother getting friendly with her again!!

At my work if you got something free you weren't allowed to sell it on ...

Yanbu! It's cheeky.

But if it were me, I'd overthink and worry that

A- she NEEDS money so she orchestrated an event in which she could get some (I can't think of any other reason to do this and so quickly send your details over)

And, more indicative of my own imposter syndrome than anything else

B- she doesn't actually like me but used me as she saw I'd be a guarantee to pay her the money she needs.

It does sound like she only said you could pay her back after you said you'd have paid
She might have felt you thought you were being cheeky using her free ticket

You know... to try and give her some credit....maybe

@user1492757084 at this point I didn’t know she had the vouchers I thought initially she PAID herself. Only later after my comment she mentioned it was free and she got x number (don’t remember how much she said) for free at work. I didn’t offer after this but got a message with bank details later when I got home.

Sorry I was trying to be vague with details so not too outing I’ll write the facts below;:
