A woman was wondering whether she was being unreasonable to make a £219 demand to her boyfriend after he did something seriously sneaky when he went to a party...10:24, 24 May 2026A woman was left furious after her boyfriend made a huge mistake that would cost her £219 to undo, so she made a demand of him.‌When you're in a relationship with somebody, you'll definitely be happy enough to lend things to them. Trusting they're going to treat these items with respect and give them back in a timely fashion. However, one woman was proven wrong when her boyfriend made a huge error. She explained her boyfriend was "going to a party out of town" and asked whether he'd be able to borrow her AirPods "for the train journey".‌"I was hesitant, but I eventually agreed on one condition: he would bring them back just as they were," she admitted.‌She also pointed out she's a student, so they wouldn't be easily replaceable if he lost them. And that's exactly what he did - but he tried to cover it up.She explained: "After the party, Matt came home pretty drunk and handed me my AirPods back. I immediately started using them, but as soon as I put one in my ear, something felt off."My phone didn’t connect automatically, which I first assumed was because Matt had been using them all day. But after trying to reconnect them, I realised they weren’t actually mine. They were AirPods of the exact same model, but they belonged to someone else."‌The woman was so annoyed, and she told him they were not her headphones. Thankfully, she was "able to track" her actual ones, which were "at a random address near where the party had been, but not at the host’s house".But it wasn't good news for the AirPods when she made her boyfriend go and pick them up for her, as they'd been "smashed and destroyed".‌"Apparently, the owner of the house had found them at the train station after they had been run over," she shared.Her boyfriend found out the AirPods belonged to his friend, and said she could keep them because the guy whose AirPods they were owed her boyfriend money; however, she didn't want to, as they were not the same, and a key feature wouldn't work."I don’t really feel like it should now become my responsibility to accept some random replacement just because he and his friend decided it evens things out between them," she fumed.‌The woman concluded: "He also got slightly upset when I brought up the idea of him just buying me a new pair. He says ’he tried’ to fix the situation, but I personally don’t think giving someone else's used headphones is enough, after you didn’t take enough good care of something that didn’t belong to you. He also told me that I should give him a break, cause he has a lot going on..."He does think my reaction is valid, but hasn’t really done much to really make it seem like he is genuinely sorry. If I were him, I would’ve bought a new pair immediately, no question."In the comments, someone said: "He needs to replace YOUR property, per your agreement. Giving you HIS FRIEND'S AirPods is cheap, unhygienic, and DISGUSTING. Anything other than replacing your property isn't optional."Article continues belowAnother fumed: "Basic manners when you borrow something: return it in the same condition you got it, if not better."Somebody else wrote: "Even after destroying your AirPods, he could've salvaged the situation by letting you know what happened and handing his friend's AirPods for you to use temporarily while he got you a replacement."The fact that he just slyly handed you his friend's AirPods and hoped you wouldn't notice is very dishonest, and I wouldn't be able to trust a person after they pulled something like that."
