Would you keep paying for your husbands friend's laundry?

My husbands college bud (not one of his best friend but someone he gets together w/here %26amp; there) lives in our apt complex. In order to do laundry you have to purchase a card for $20 and go to the office to put money on it when you want to use it. His bud asked if he could borrow our card (so he didn't have to pay $20 for one). I said no prob as long as you bring it back at least a day or 2 after you use it so we can do ours. He's been using the money we have on there and returning it empty. If we have a 0 balance he'll put enough for himself to use but if we have a balance he'll use it and return empty. I've found out (by going to eat w/him and my husband) that he is VERY cheap/ penny pincher) and he is by no means hurting for money. He's in his early 20's good job and his parents are rich. My husband works 2 jobs to pay off his student loans so there's no reason we should be paying rich boys laundry expenses. Since he's my husbands friend, I need to tell him in a nice way. How?

If you continue to let him use the card, you are crazy! Furthermore, you do not need to be concerned about his feelings. He has taken advantage of you and your husband, and does not care about both of your feelings. Anybody with a small amount of sense would know to return the card with the same balance. You should tell him that whenever he uses the card he returns it empty, and you and your husband cannot afford to pay for his laundry. Explain to him that it is morally correct to use someone else閳ユ獨 property and to return it in the same condition it was in before he or she let him use it. In your case in the same condition or better, because I would return it with a little extra money in order to show my appreciation. Last, you need to tell him that he needs to invest in a card of his own because your card is no longer available. If I thought that he might be a little slow, I would say explain it to him and give him another chance. However, his problem is not ignorance, he is just cheap, and he is a user. Furthermore, it is important to explain it to him in order to clarify everything up front. This is what you need to do. I hope this helps!

I wouldn't pay his expenses no, He's More than capable of getting his own

I would cut him off that way you can't afford it and by the sounds of it he's just taking advantage of you both to get what he wants

Just say look we can't afford to keep supporting you. You need to get your own laundry card cause we won't be lending you ours anymore

Talk to your husband as well and tell him he needs to back you on this too

Tell the guy to get his own card. Tell him that you can't afford to pay for his laundry any longer. You can do this in a nice way, apologize for not being able to. This is guy is a mooch.

Tell him to buy his own laundry card, the cheap bastard. I have a person at work like that, who's always asking to buy him coffee and he makes 100k a year!!

This is not your issue to resolve. It is your husband's issue to resolve because it is his friend. He needs to be a man and let his friend know that what he did was not cool. I wouldn't end a friendship over $20, but you get treated the way you allow yourself to be treated. I would give your husband a story about a friend who borrowed somebodies car with half a tank of gas and returned the car with an empty tank. See how he reacts and let him know that it is no different with the laundry card. Is your husband trying to buy this guys friendship? What does he get out of working 2 jobs to support this guy doing laundry?

As for the excuse. You do not have to make an excuse to his friend. Tell him straight forwardly, you can't have the card because you used it and abused the privilege! If he thinks you are a b***h or your husband is just p***w%26amp;%26amp;* then you will know this guy is not really your friend but just a low life looser who is using you. If getting him out of your life at that point cost $20, it was money well spent!

The next time he comes to inquire state with firm conviction that you can no longer find it in your budget to let him use your card without being reimbursed.

Offer to purchase a card for him the next time you go down to recharge your card, that is of course if he pays up front.

PLEASE do not be embarrassed about looking out for your own funds. If you do not no one will.

There is no one quite so frustrating than a person who has the wherewithal to pay his own way yet uses other people's generosity.

The %26quot;nice%26quot; way to tell him is to be frank and businesslike devoid of emotion. You cannot continue to finance his laundry.

If this guy has a shred of conscience he will reimburse you for the money he has used.

How about this? JUST SAY NO :)

I don't see why any confrontation or explanation is required. When he comes by to get the card next time, give him a sympathetic look and say, %26quot;Aw, I'm sorry to tell you this, but my husband and I have decided not to loan out our card anymore.%26quot; If he presses you, simply say, %26quot;It just wasn't working out well.%26quot; Only a ridiculously rude person would press even further, so if he does, he deserves to have his feelings hurt, and you should then tell him exactly why he can't have it anymore. Hopefully, he's not that stupid!

PS -- I just noticed that your username is Friendly. So, I just wanted to let you know that I understand that this is going to be more scary and difficult than I made it out to sound like in my answer. Please try to remember that even though it is a wonderful thing to be friendly, you don't have to let people take advantage of you!

First tell that cheap a## leach to pack his stuff and get the hell out. Then tell him, what goes around comes around. Cheap fool.

You know. People like you ( and there are thousands like you) absolutely fascinate me. Should I tell him I lost the card?

How about this....your 'pal' is committing larceny. Very simple. You are being stolen from and he isn't taking advatage of you and your husband. Know why? Because you can't take advantage of someone who allows you to do so without a single cry of protest.

So...if you don't mind being stolen from..and it appears you don't...then you haven't a problem.

don't give him the card again. just tell him it's not your job to pay for his laundry. he's an adult.

No way, I'd say to him that he should buy his own card as you cannot afford to do your washing and his, what a bum!!!!
