The BFF Card

One of the perks to having a Lucy is being able to pull the BFF card.  I actually used this card last week.  What is the BFF card?  Well it’s a shame that you even have to ask, but for anyone trying to find her Lucy I will give you the lowdown. 

The BFF card is a favor that you can ask in emergency situations only.  Its something you wouldn’t normally ask of your Lucy, but the circumstances and imperativeness of the situation give you a sort of “get-out-of-jail-free” card.

Now this is a sticky situation, as it is easy for anyone to confuse the BFF card with normal Lucy duties.  Lucy duties are different from the BFF card in that they are mundane tasks that you would do for your Lucy whether it’s an emergency or not.  To guide you through the difference I have created some examples.

Lucy Duty:  playing wing-woman when you find a hot guy with a not-so-hot friend.

BFF Card: making Lucy drive home, with not-so-hot friend in the passenger seat, so you can make-out in the back seat with the hot guy.

Lucy Duty: When stopping for coffee, Jamba juice, or a bagel on her way to see you, she must buy you your favorite coffee, Jamba, or bagel as well, without asking if you want one (obvi you do).

BFF Card: Making Lucy drive to the liquor store so you can finish getting ready for a date/night out on the town.

Lucy Duty: Driving you places when your car is in the shop

BFF Card: Driving not-so-hot-friend home so you can have more time with hot guy

As you can see, most of these examples involve a guy.  However, pulling the BFF card doesn't always have to involve a guy.  It could be any emergency situation.  Just remember, each time you pull the BFF card, make sure she knows that YOU KNOW you pulled it and completely appreciate her for it.  If you're not appreciative, then the BFF card isn't a BFF card anymore, its you being a bitchy manipulator and no one likes those.
