[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, PPs! I'm probably overly careful about things like this.

Would you say the same thing if your friend also let you use her hand sanitizer multiple times? [/quote]

Oh my god, you are seriously in need of help, and I'm not saying that to be cruel - you genuinely do need help to figure out normal friendship boundaries. People SHARE with their friends. People GIVE to their friends. In a normal friendship there's give and take. [/quote]

Thanks. I understand that. For reasons that have to do with my childhood, I'm very cautious about things like this. I'd never expect my friend to pay me back in this situation if it were the other way around. [/quote]

It is perfectly okay to ask if you can repay someone who spends money on you. However, in most friendships, the situations you're describing are not a "repay" situation in the same way that her taking your kid to the movies might be a repay situation ($20 vs. $2). If you ask and your friend tells you that they do not wish to be repaid, the polite thing to do is to accept that answer, thank them for the whatever it was, and then in the future, be generous with your belongings and time as well.
