A friendly fee is when you give your friend a little cash so they don’t feel like you’re the worst friend ever for using their stuff without asking.

I borrowed my friend’s car and gave him $10. He said I was the most generous person he’d ever met.

I took my brother’s phone and gave him $5. He said I was a total legend.

I borrowed my mom’s laptop and gave her $15. She said I was the best son ever.
