AITA for continuancly taking off the charger from my brother’s bike while it’s charging (and potentially breaking it)??

Sooo my brother has this bike that needs to be charged with electricity power so he has it inside the freaking house most of the time in a very small hall (and it is very crowded by his bike and other stuff) . That hall leads to a room separated from the house where I basically live the problem is that the wire he uses is very short and it blocks my way to the room it is too high for me to jump over and too low for me to duck under (physically speaking I’m unable to do it) and it is too short for me too pull it up or down soo I just just take it off the charger get through and put it in the outlet again. This is causing problems because he is saying I should just duck under and I’m saying he should put it somewhere else. I can’t duck under my legs and back are of a 70 yo. Apparently that ruined the old battery and he’s saying that I’m ruining the new one too, but like I need to go through that door multiple times a day and I’m not going duck under every time like especially when I’m late to school or like need something quickly because I would slam my head on one of doors if I do (which happened more times than I would admit lol)

So we have been fighting about this for a while now stupid but very annoying when I have to deal with it 100 times a day it has been really pissing me off

  1. NTA he cant lock u out ur room with a wire, as someone who is also physically unable to do jumps or low crouches/crawls I would be doing the exact same as you.

    He needs to buy a new wire or find a new spot to charge it

  2. NTA weaponised incompetence, act like you dont even see this short cord, snag it, run into it, duck under it poorly, until the cord is FUBAR. Then he needs to replace this cord, he will buy a longer cord, i promise.

    1. My thoughts exactly. And then trap everyone inside the burning house because the bike is in the way of the door.

    Your brother either needs a longer cord or to find somewhere else to charge his bike. He doesn’t get the block the egress to where you live.

    Period.

    It’s not like there aren’t solutions to this.

  4. If plugging it in and unplugging it is causing problems with the battery, I would just stop plugging it back in when I have to unplug it. He needs to charge the bike in his bedroom or something, he can’t be constantly blocking the hall and causing a tripping hazard.

  5. NTA he needs to find a differnet place to charge the bike so that it isn’t in the way. It also creates a fire hazard by obsteucting the door way

  6. NTA

    If people can’t get past that easily, then it’s a fire hazard.
    And he needs to put it somewhere else
