Until last night, I though it was the toothbrush charger, but last night, I discovered that he'd also taken my vibrator charger with him 🙄
Anyone else got a funny one?

Same 😂 ex took my fav vibrator, arsehole

Popsicle434544 · 27/09/2017 13:49

Oh and my nice set of hot pink towels, wtf, we had plenty of blue ones he could have took

I had to move out so he got to keep all the furniture that I bloody well bought Sad including the amazing bed that I saved up over a grand to buy.

Wanker.

My favourite tool out of my toolbox.
We had separate toolboxes for Very Good Reasons.

DHs ex took his dressing gown, bedside alarm clock shaped like Darth Vader and half his Xbox games.

She let herself in whilst he was at work - they didn't live together. Crazy woman, but she always was!

Jappydooda · 27/09/2017 13:54

He took the Waterford crystal clock - the only thing of any value in the flat.

Sadly, the clock took a little "tumble" as I was putting it in a box for him to collect. I "think" it may have broken in two. Ooops!

The juicer.

I mean I hadn't used it In a decade. We've been separated half a decade but I'm still smarting the bastard got custody of it.

My then favourite knickers. Twice with 2 men, arseholes.

Winteriscomingneedmorewood · 27/09/2017 13:56

The new phone he had got me for my birthday. .

KurriKurri · 27/09/2017 14:02

Another one that sounds trivial but really irritates me - he took two garden spades, leaving me with none. he doesn;t have a garden any more - he lives in a flat, I have a garden - he knew I would have a garden - it was pure spite. I find it annoying every time I dig the garden (even though I have invested in my own spade now Grin)

It's nice to have a grudge to grouse about every so often Grin (And quite honestly if a spade was the price of getting rid of him it was worth it !)

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 27/09/2017 14:08

All my dictionaries and expensive reference books - we were both writers.

Mind you the w*nker left me with all the bills for the 3 months he stayed in the flat on his own, so it's not like I can say he didn't give me anything.

Oh, he also smoked indoors so I had to pay to have all the carpets and curtains professionally cleaned too.

An ex colleague took all the labels out of the stationery cupboard I'd painstakingly organised - I had to tip my hat to her, masterful passive aggressiveness

Sweetbell · 27/09/2017 14:10

My phone and he tried to cut a deal that if I kept his Xbox he wouldn't have pay child support. That I could buy it off himHmmthru CS or lack of!

Lostin3dspace · 27/09/2017 14:12

A 16ft canoe
I was gutted to concede it, but the fact is I couldn't even lift it myself

OracleofDelphi · 27/09/2017 14:14

my duvet! oh and my car..... although he did return the car but not the bloody duvet.... waiting until I had gone away to see my parents abroad and then came round to the flat I shared!

wuckfits · 27/09/2017 14:16

All the fuses out of my electrical appliances

StormTreader · 27/09/2017 14:18

All our shared friends :/

I think in terms of annoyance, its been worse that my "best" ex (as in we are still friends) DIDNT take all his junk - seems mean to bin it but its taking up space that should be full of MY junk!

UserShmuser · 27/09/2017 14:18

Not me but my SIL took all the slats from my brothers bed, the toothpaste, fridge shelves, all the forks, the charger from his razor and every third DVD from his favourite box set.

She put the mattress back on the bed so he fell right through it.

An original piece of art a friend had done for me.

User5trillion · 27/09/2017 14:22

My ex took a kitchen cabinet door. So when I took the pictures for the sale of my house there was one unit with no door. Had to go and buy another one. The salesman was like wtf as he had just sold me the new kitchen.

He also gave away all my house plants but I tracked them down and got them back. Tosser.

JamieLannisterToMyBedchamber · 27/09/2017 14:26

A lovely set of unique potter-made bowls that I had wanted to buy with my money, but he had bought with his, IYSWIM.

Bitsandbobsalot · 27/09/2017 14:28

My lawn mower. He moved to a flat with no garden Confused
Pissed me off quite a lot at the time as I love gardening.

Also about a week after he left me he turned up at my home at 2am drunk demanding I hand over our 2 dd's. How I managed shove him out the door way and get the front door shut I'll never know, I told him I'm going to phone the police he laughed and said I couldn't as he'd cut the phone line. So on my mobile to the police he's shouting "give me the fucking laptop and I'll go" I repeated it to police lady who told me not to open the door put to pass it out the window. So i open the kitchen window and "pass" him the laptop...... what the police lady didn't realise is I live in a first floor flat Grin. Watching him drunk trying to catch it was honestly one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed. FYI he didn't catch it that was karma

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 27/09/2017 14:30

Can't think of anything, but meanwhile I will quote a Wendy Cope poem:

The day he moved out was terrible
That evening she went through hell....
His absence wasn't a problem...
But the corkscrew had gone as well! :)

weekfour · 27/09/2017 14:31

@KurriKurri Mine took the spades too! Nob head. He went to a flat too.
