Yesterday I found a badly damaged charging cable in our living room. It was plugged in where my parents usually keep their cables. It had several open spots. Like, with the wires sticking out and half-heartedly kept together with some tape I doubt can be used to repair cables.
I showed it to my dad and he was very upset with himself how he apparently could have let something like this happen. We agreed it was dangerous and we threw it away immediately.
Today, my sister who lives with us over christmas searched for her charging cable. I realised the damaged one had been hers. She immediately threw a huge drama that she desperately needed it for Uni and how we couldn’t even have asked who the cable belonged to. (She was out yesterday). I must admit I just forgot about it, as I thought it was one of the many of my parents.
I gave her my best charging cable but she says it is too short. She demanded I order a new one and I did and I also paid for it. She’s still angry because she won’t have the new long one until the weekend.
I think she can’t be mad at me for throwing away a dangerous electronic device. My dad says that cable had to go immediately and that my sister would have continued using it if we didn’t. My mother says it was wrong to throw away something that doesn’t belong to me without telling anybody about it.
