Today, I found out that the only reason my "friend" comes over to my apartment is so that she can charge her phone using my electricity, because she's too cheap to use her own. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while I was out of the office, I'd left my phone charging inside. My boss informed me that since I am clearly running up her electricity bill, it will be deducted out of my already nearly non existent paycheck. FML
Today, I found out my roommate has been cheating me out of hundreds of dollars when I finally obtained records of the past year's electric bills, which are in her name. FML
Today, I finally summoned the courage to ask my roommate to chip in for electricity costs. She called me a bitch, proceeded to tell me she can't afford it, despite working full time and me part time, and blocked me on all communications. Uhm, what ? FML
Today, my mother called me "wasteful" because I left the refrigerator door open and that "electricity money doesn’t grow on trees." This is the same person who lets my little sister have her light on all night, because she’s scared of the dark. FML
Today, my roommate decided to turn off all appliances in the house to "save" electricity. This included the refrigerator. FML
Today, my mum had no legitimate reason to have her daily yell at me, so she resorted to bitching me out for putting her phone on charge after it started beeping with a low battery warning. FML
Today, one of my roommates blew a fuse by running a personal heater on full overnight. I notified our landlady that I had to get a new fuse; she came over to pay me for it. Only as I heard landlady's horn did I see another roommate's girlfriend's car; she stayed overnight and isn't allowed to. Both roomies got evicted and blamed me. FML
Today, I found out that my girlfriend has been paying her half of the rent by taking my ATM card and getting money from my account. FML
Today, after having loaned my girlfriend money after she claimed to be broke and unable to pay her rent and electricity bills, she went out, spent it all on a new purse and phone, and now refuses to pay me back. FML
Today, I accidentally left my bedroom light on all day. When I got home, my mum screamed at me for wasting electricity. This is the same woman who leaves the TV on all day while she’s at work, all so our dogs have something to watch and won't be “bored”. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Is the cost of electricity to power a phone really that significant?

If I were you, I'd say something. They don't sound like a very good friend and you should be treated better.

No. OP's friend is cheap, stupid, and not a real friend.

It probably costs her more in gas to drive over than to pay for her own phone charge.

Its proportional to the usage of phone!!

Based on average USA prices, it costs $1.75 a year to charge an iPhone fully once a day
Isn't It Ironic? 24
Thanks! This makes me feel better for being someone who does charge theirs daily.

tell her she's not allowed to use it anymore but it's okay, she doesn't need a fully charged phone to talk to all the friends she doesn't have since she's clearly a bad friend

in 1 year a phone charger uses less than 3 euros on energy... she is really cheap

That 3 euros is a months worth of ramen. :D

Gift her a solar phone charger and tell her to GTFOutside

LMAO!

The amount of energy it takes to charge a phone is way less than the energy expended to get up, leave her house, either drive, or walk to your house, and then home... This seems like a really bad use of time.

And money, considering the gas alone to drive there and back is going to be more than she saved on any given day. Really it's sad. If it's true that charging her phone to save money is the sole purpose of visiting, then it's not even working. It's just a drain on everyone's time and money.

Guess you just got rid of someone that you don't need in your life.

She just wants a reason to get into your pants

Whenever they ask keep telling them you're not home. That way they'll have to use their own electricity.
