I live in shared accommodation. Recently our washing machine has been having issues. So we all spoke and decided to split the cost of a second hand one between us.
So today one of the flatmates decides to go to bright house and get a New one without asking any of us and now wants to split the weekly cost. Which Is only fair If we are all using it.
However my issue is, they have taken it over three years. Working out the split its two pound a week each. so over three years I will have paid 600 for a machine that isn't even mine. When we could all have put 20 in for a second hand one and it would have been paid off.
We only have plumbing for one machine so getting my own isn't an option. So its use this incredibly expensive machine or go to the laundrette.
Aibu in thinking people should ask first before commuting others to a credit agreement. Personally I don't want to give a company a whole load of my money. The machine is worth 450 (according to bright house) and I'm alone paying 150 over that so they are getting nearly a grand and a half in interest.
I might be unreasonable due to having a bad day and maybe ungrateful however I think its a ridiculous amount to spend on a washing machine that isn't even mine, and there is no guarantee I will remain In the property for three more years anyway.
Aibu?
