Whats Your Take When People Eat Your Food?
Ask a Question
So I bought some canned foods and had to carry them back home so heavy while walking back on steep hill! Takes about 20 minutes or so from local Sainbsury’s and snacks I bought on Amazon using gift cards I earned on here takes a lot of time and effort! Delivery just came on Thursday
Damn sh*t family member takes them to eat like wtf saying I’m hiding them when in a box cause no where else to put them
Really irritating !!
When I lived at home my younger brother would take my food would drive me mad he never admitted it so one day I had chocolate milk in so I put pickle juice in it he didn't take my food again
My daughter's are always raiding the cupboards, I had a chicken breast last week that I was looking forward too eating, they got their hands on it, nothing left
Put a price ticket on everything. Add FAT tax (family/friends added tax) to everything at 20%. Failing that buy a bicycle lock and put it round the handles of the cupboard if they are the right sort of handles. Put the nice stuff right at the back at the bottom then buy some cheap tins of veg etc and put those in front. If you are hiding your tin opener you need to snap the little ring thing off. If you can peel the labels off and swap them round (obviously keeping a note so you know what is what !)
suevernon1968 lol you sound like you have experienced this as you have given so much details on so much! Lol
No room in any cupboards that why in damn a cardboard box in first place!!
Sh*t family member keeps eating non stop all day every day f*cking ridiculous swear to god eats out of boredom
kitty88uk kids, foster kids, all their friends and now 11 grandchildren- oldest are twin boys aged 16. They and all their friends seem to love my house. I have two double cupboards with big green ticks on them. Lol.
suevernon1968 what do you mean green ticks on them?! Lol
Wow that is a lot of kids in your house! Too many people too busy household haha
kitty88uk i print off A4 sized green ticks and laminate them then put them on the cupboard doors that they can just help themselves to.
Certain items of food belong to different family members and we don’t touch each others unless we ask. Always worked for us.
eyeballkerry exactly same here, never had problems until now!! sh*t dad raided my box no wonder I kept seeing a bag I put on top moved and I had a bag of clothes on sofa left there to take to charity or put in the bags that come through the post the clothes were ruffled pfft so mad
Woah - not good! But lesson to be learned here I think, next time hide them better and put a booby trap in place to catch the little so n so's out lol
EmmaWright762 I wasn’t hiding them, only place can put in box in living room on floor
Cupboards sh*t full of cups don’t even damn use them!! And lots of plastic boxes and tubs pfft Geri keep throwing them in green bin to recycle there’s always more! Argh
It can be annoying but i have less of a problem if it is a family member or friend. When someone takes my lunch at work it can be really annoying.
jms19 if it happens regularly at work and specially if its on a particular day - sprinkle your lunch liberally with a laxative!
Cheeky, happened years ago with me, my partner's then lodger pinched my Peanut Butter that I kept in.the fridge
Get a lockable cupboard and put the keys in a hiding place or a key safe with combination code. Should stop it. Not that expensive.
Can’t say it happens that much for me. My mum used to eat my food before and it’s insulting as I was very particular about what I ate in the past. Oh well
