Our lovely FTB 🙄have requested wheelie bins be included after generous discount… many unreasonable requests met!

AIBU to leave dead nan ashes under the floorboards & take the wheel bins as a summer plunge pool for the kids 🫣

It’s not unusual to leave wheelie bins when selling a property. Seems a bit petty to take them out of spite.

Friend2023 · 16/05/2024 23:16

Poor dead Nan , she's being used in an argument over a wheely bin ! 🤣

Minniemooose · 16/05/2024 23:16

Surely your new house will have the wheelie bins left behind from the previous owner. I couldn’t think of anything worse than picking up and moving a mankey germ ridden bin 🤢

Redglitter · 16/05/2024 23:16

It wouldn't even occur to me to ask for them to be left. I'd take it that they would be.

The house you're going to will more than likely have left their bins - because who wants to take smelly bins in their removal van.

LovelyBitOfSquirrrel · 16/05/2024 23:17

Why would you want to take them? Surely they have the old house door number on anyway

Relocate89 · 16/05/2024 23:17

Do people take wheelie bins with them?!

LittleGreenDragons · 16/05/2024 23:17

The wheelie bins stay with the property. They aren't yours, they belong to the council. Where do you do live if you believe they go with you?

Nospecialcharactersplease · 16/05/2024 23:17

Eh? The bins belong to the house. The idea that you’re even contemplating taking them suggests you may be an awkward customer yourself.

And if you want to leave your nan behind, crack on. It’s only sentimental to you, to everyone else it’s dust.

MrsApplepants · 16/05/2024 23:17

Don’t wheely bins belong to the council and stay with the property?

senua · 16/05/2024 23:18

Leave the bins, as requested. But take the wheels.Grin

Or, even better, one wheel.😈

Panpastels · 16/05/2024 23:18

You are meant to leave the bins. I work for a council.

Needmorelego · 16/05/2024 23:18

Aren't wheelie bins usually provided by the council and technically "belong" to that property?
You don't take them with you when you move.....do you?

frankentall · 16/05/2024 23:18

Don't bins belong to the council?
I have never taken them with me (in England), always had the ones left at the house when I arrived.

Jamiedodgers · 16/05/2024 23:18

What??? Why would you take the wheelie bin?? I’ve bought two houses and both had their wheelie bins without me specifically asking for it.

what if you move to a different council area? They have different bins

Paperthin · 16/05/2024 23:19

NOBODY takes their wheels bins OP, not in the UK anyway.

RandomButtons · 16/05/2024 23:19

The wheelie bins belong to the council you realise? They aren’t yours.

Wheelieusefulbinlover · 16/05/2024 23:19

Not every council provides wheelie bins for free. Mine doesn't, we had to order ours for £50 each! I paid for them, they're mine to take with me like my garden furniture

SabreIsMyFave · 16/05/2024 23:20

Of course you should leave your wheelie bins @Sellthishousetorhosecunts !!! 😆 You are not seriously taking them with you?!!!

Fluffyowl00 · 16/05/2024 23:20

Anyone else starting to wonder about the FTB extravagant demands? They didn’t have the temerity to ask for the walls and roof too did they?

Bet they asked for the windows and doors too! Cheeky fuckers! 😂

Aye, grabbing bastards, bet they expect OP to leave the lawn and driveway down as well.

Are you sure you can take them with you ? We pay our council too for the bin but it still isn't ours to take - more like a fee to use it.

Magnastorm · 16/05/2024 23:22

Who the fuck takes wheelie bins with them when they move?

Probably the same weirdos who pay to get them cleaned, I guess.
