To be this angry about chargers

DH seems to be stealing them and doing something with them. There cannot be any other explanation. Either that or the cat is selling them on eBay. I'm sick of it. I've bought about 6 extra leads. We have 4 iPhones between us so must have st least 4 plugs and leads. Where are they???

If you find out can you tell me? I should have at least 5 chargers and 3 cables. I have 1 of each.

I can't figure out where he is hoarding them.

Much my like my lighters.

They are tangled up at the back of that drawer in your kitchen Grin

My DD will have them all, she seems to hoard them and break them and deny it

I had this problem in my house until dd moved out for uni. I was nice and cleaned her room for her and I found more than 20 😱(I kind you not) stashed all over the place 🤬. 3 actually work🤗

Haha this is my life!!

My teenager has all your chargers and everyone else's here in her bedroom.

DS being a electrician, changed all our sockets to have usb sockets on them.

I bought leads for each of the sockets in the bedrooms.

One each in the kitchen next to the kettle and one each by the chairs and sofa.

Woe betide anyone who removes one!!!

I am so anal about them they have a sticker around them.

With a number on them that corresponded with the socket 😂😂😂

If you have teenagers they will have them, in rooms, bags etc, mine takes then to her pals house never to be seen again.

ThePhoenixRises · 09/08/2019 16:33

My lighters and my charges are both usually found in adult DC bedrooms.

My lead for the car is usually pinched by teens.

I even coloured mine in with sharpies and they still "borrow" them

ThePhoenixRises · 09/08/2019 16:33

Chargers not charges I am not an au pair

BarbedBloom · 09/08/2019 16:40

Taken to work?

Owlypants · 09/08/2019 16:41

Same here. Before reading your post I'd never suspected the cat but i do now! We should have at least 6 plugs and probably around 15 wires but only one is ever available to use. Dp denies it but I'm sure he takes the wires to work and either leaves them there or in his car. The plugs are a mystery though

Whitelisbon · 09/08/2019 16:42

They're in my dhs desk drawer at work, along with all of mine. 16yo dd may have a couple of broken ones in her bedroom too, but you're taking your life in your hands looking for them - you may well catch something hideous in there.

I can solve this. I add them to the shop every single time so that there are approx 2 added to the household every week. Therefore there is 1 working charger which we all fight over.

I bought ds a special Harry Potter charger which he had for 10 mins. Then an unbreakable one which last a week before the head snapped off.

I glued mine to the socket, which is extremely dangerous but I can charge.

drsausage · 09/08/2019 16:57

I confess. I have them all.

Whoopstheregomyinsides · 10/08/2019 09:34

I feel wrapped in love and understanding Grin
DH says I'm imagining it and to look in my own bags. They are t there. He's confessed to one on his desk and one in work bag which I interpret as they've all gone to his work. I'm going to order more. Any good cheap ones people can link to? Going to hide in a cupboard and post through a hole in the back - shhhhhh. Don't tell!
