AIBU to expect my sister to store my bike briefly?

[AliceNotInChains]

On Friday I bought a new bike off marketplace. I currently have my old bike in my hallway as I need to clean it up and sell it so I took my new bike to my sisters and popped it in the hallway. She was at work so I sent her a message saying I’ve temporarily put a bike in her hallway and it will be moved in about a weeks time. Didn’t hear anything back until evening when she messaged telling me to come and move the bike. I told her I had nowhere to put it until I sell my old one but reassured her I’d be cleaning it up over weekend and will list it on Monday.

Yesterday morning she sent another message saying her husband was fuming about the bike saying it was “ruining their hallway” and he wanted it moved. I said it will be moved asap.

This morning I got up to see my new bike sat in front of my house on the driveway. I’ve messaged her and she said she didn’t do it, her husband did. So I said I’m bringing it back as it can’t stay on the driveway because obviously it will get stolen!! Not to mention weather damage. She replied saying not to bring it back or her DH will simply leave it in the street.

Im fuming because there has been many times they have stored stuff at my house and I’ve had to just work around it.

Anyway they have a keyboard at my house and I’ve told her either the bike gets stored there for a few days max or the keyboard goes to live outside. She’s not replied yet.

AIBU?? I could get my bike sold by Wednesday.

You borrowed it, you built it. Now you've finished with it take it apart and return it. It's not that hard. This situation is completely different to you just abandoning you bike in HER hallway

Eh? The electronic piano unit is one piece. So he built - the stand? Hint: it will come apart again.

She won’t take it back or she is waiting for the op to give it to her.

The keyboard -,I am guessing more of a digital piano by the sounds of it - was likely all neatly boxed and potentially expensive. The sister is probably worried about getting lots of pieces back only to find there are missing bits when she comes to use it. Would definitely be harder to store like that and there is a worry of it not coming apart and back together well.

So, you're not storing it for her - you borrowed it and put it together. If she wants it back, you need to take it apart again for her, so she's got room to store it again as she did before. You were the one who made it unstorable for her by assembling it, so you need to dissemble it to give it back to her.

I came home to find a load of garden furniture in my garden once as she’d bought it but wanted to clean up her garden first

But that's not remotely the same as putting a bike in someone's hallway. Your sister put some garden furniture, an outdoor item, in your garden, where it was presumably not in your way every time you entered or exited your front door. That's completely different to leaving a bike, a large outdoor item, indoors in someone's hallway and expecting them to be fine with that. That's mad behaviour.

The OP could have dismantled it and already hid it back under her sisters bed where she found it in the first place if it actually bothered her.

Clearly it doesn't bother her enough though 😂

Oh. I've just seen your other threads.

Christ, I feel sorry for your sibling(s).

Yes that’s true 😂

Why can’t you keep the bike in your bedroom or living room?

Just put down some sheeting or old towels.

You obviously want to make a point about the keyboard.

I think you should all move into one big house together and then you can all leave your shit in each others' rooms.

And in each others toilets

If I was your sisters husband I’d of brought the bike back and bike chained it outside your house and took the key until “ tuesday” just to teach you a lesson. Your entitled. You wanted the keyboard so that’s on you not her

Yes, nobody likes the BIL because the BIL insists on boundaries. What an arsehole getting frustrated with his in-laws letting themselves in and taking/leaving things without discussion.

You have a DH!

Is the man a saint?

You can ask your sister to store your bike briefly, this gives her chance to see if she has room. You carnt expect her to store your bike briefly and then abandon it without asking. The two are very different things. Ask, yes. Expect, no.
