Anyone have an Apple charger situation at your home?

I’m estimating we have at least 6 Apple devices in our home that use the same charger type.
As best I can figure, we have 3 charging blocks/cords
I gave one of my family members a block/cord this morning because their device was dead.
My devices are running low, so I just went to retrieve a charger.
“I just plugged it in!”...it’s been with this family member for at least 12 hours.
I hate to get upset over stupid shite.
For Christmas, I’m buying everyone a way over priced Apple Block and cord. I’m writing everyone’s name in Sharpie on the blocks. If you feel charitable and want to loan your block, that’s fine...otherwise go frick yourself

You sound like Ebenezer when Bob Cratchit grabbed that last little piece of charging cable to keep his phone juiced.

"That's unfortunate. I'll charge up to 80% and then you can borrow it again."

Don't worry, Apple is coming out with a new charger. It will change the world and your life. You can buy it for the low, low price of $750.00.

Jesus H they aren't that damm expensive.
I have probably 2 dozen adapters and cables around the house.

Idiots buy Apple
I can get a USB plug for 3 bucks at a gas station and a chord for 6
9 bucks plus tax at any gas station, and guess what, it freaking works
I can plug in $15 headphones with no problems
Only idiots with more money than sense buy apple products.. take another bite of the poison fruit... enjoy nothing other than feigned superiority with your devices... enjoy spending $$$ not worth it

10 footer in the living room. Wireless pad on the night stand. Normal length lightning cord for the airpods. Never had a problem getting some juice

I have Android and everyone else has Apple. Just the way I like it

For the last 10 years probably I have put colored tape on my chargers regardless of phone, iPad, laptop, etc.

Just being clear..one of these Apple blocks is my original..the 10ft cord (from a gas station) is most definitely mine, and everyone knows it’s mine...doesn’t matter. The people think they have as much access to mine as I do.
They lose their shite and proceed to try and acquire mine.
This will end.

First world problem for sure

I got fed up that, between the office, my vehicle, and my house, there was never a charger available where I needed one. I finally got pissed off and went the dollar general, where they had buckets of that. I got about a half dozen each AC adapters, 12 volt chargers and cables all for about $20. I no longer have a problem!

We did this years ago for my fricktard kids.

Just take it back and tell them to go buy one of their own in the morning if they don’t enjoy not having their phone charged. I have pet peeve about people who don’t bring a charger. I keep one in my go bag for work travel and it comes with me on regular travel.

Same or the regular Amazon basics. I just never buy braided, that shite always fails faster for me.

I’m tired of it as well. I unplug mine and hide it. They will borrow it and ruin it.
