To be really annoyed about my cooker being dumped?

[Typo]

Basically, we sold our flat to some of DH's close friends.

We included some of the contents in the sale. We had a freestanding cooker in there, which was pretty new and we agreed to leave behind.

Anyway, long story short, the house we were going to buy with a built-in cooker fell through and so we ended up taking the cooker with us when we moved. BUT I left behind an older cooker in it's place, it used to belong to my grandmother who died a few years ago and had sentimental value to me.

I've just found out the "friends" who bought the house have dumped the cooker because apparently it broke! I can't believe it. How dare they junk my stuff, particularly when it means something to me, without asking?

YABU Sentimental value for a cooker pmsl. Surely if it meant that much to you then you would have taken it rather than the new one which they purchased when they bought the house?

You are VERY lucky they didnt persue the fact that you removed something they had paid for - I assume it was listed as part of the sale.

Even though you consider them friend this was a business deal the cooker was theirs to do what they wanted with.

I would of dumped your crappy old cooker too!!!! Sorry

Would it have hurt the op to tell them they were getting a shit cooker rather than the new one agreed in the sale?

Oh wait.

Am I being unreasonable? To be really hacked off my my boyfriend's mates's mad girlfriend? We bought a flat from this bloke who is a mate of my boyfriend. His girlfriend was always a bit funny, but I overlooked it, because my boyfriend was such good friends with his mate.
Anyway, we agree that they will leave their cooker which is quite new, which I'm quite chuffed about. But when we move in, they've only gone and taken the newish cooker and left some wierd, rickety absolutely ancient thing that looked as if it came out of the ark. I was furious! I assumed they must have got it off a dump or from a junk shop, and I wanted my boyfriend to go round and ask where our cooker was, but he was so embarrassed and didn't want to fall out iwth his mate, so we left it. As it turned out the cooker was not just old but completely clapped out so we had to chuck it out and get a new one. And guess what? The weird girlfriend has gone ballistic! She keeps saying we should have offered her the old broken cooker! God knows where she thinks she was going to put it. Mind you, I had her pegged when she expected us to move all her furniture, including - can you believe this! - putting everything in the right rooms. Madwoman. Anyway my boyfriend, because he's lovely, started doing this, until I pointed out it was getting dark and we hadn't moved any of our stuff yet. They obviously didn't offer to help us at all.
Oh, and they won't get their post redirected, so we have tons of their stuff and they never bother coming round to collect it. Thanks! Just wanted to get that off my chest.

This has got to be a wind up.

LOL @ wechuckedtheooker

Hehe - don't worry, I was joking. Just thought this AIBU was a bit one-sided. OP, you are kerrrazy.

Wechuckedthecooker, great post!

LOL at WCTC. YANBU

Actually WCTC has a valid point if when they looked round the flat and the original cooker was there and you both signed the contract to include it in your fixtures and fittings then by replacing it with a dodgy-old-- different cooker means that you have broken the terms of sale. You are being very unreasonable and are acting like a loon.

YANBU if you stipluated that you had to take the newer cooker and were leaving your grandmothers one and told them that it was sentimental to you and not to get rid of it if they didn't like it.

Just had an email from them. They are claiming now that they asked DH what to do with it and he said to throw it away.

DH says they didn't so they are lying through their teeth.

So what it was their bloody cooker! You sold it to them. You are very strange.

Well, either they are lying through their teeth (as you suggest) or your DH fears that years of recriminations will follow if he admits that he told them that (quite possible IMO).

How do you know your DH isn't lying through his teeth.

You sound pretty highly strung tbh, I would probably lie to you if I was married to you.

Pick up the phone and ring your doctor.

this is dull.

Fuck me wannabe, I'm sorry my life doesn't interest you. Don't read and don't post then.

Has anyone checked out 'typo's' credentials?

She's obviously a semi regular with a namechange.
Yes I'm bored enough to search.

Waste of time.

what did you find

Only 6 or 7 posts since may, but one ranting about cod which suggests a long term mumsnetter.

oh and, it's dull because it's not going to go down in trolling history like pirate sex or the hamster casserole. In years to come when we remember trolling threads no-one is going to say "remember the one who posted about her granny's cooker?"

where is that pirate sex thread? I joined mumsnet after that happened and I hear about it but haven't seen it.

Go on, we need cheering up after this

pleeeeeeeeeeeese
