You’re a burglar, BUT you can only steal…

… things that mildly inconvenience your victim.

what are you taking?

I’m stealing the fronts to all your freezer drawers, and the clips closing your packs of open frozen veg…

I saw this on FB and the comments were hilarious. I’m sure Vipers can do waaaay better!

over to you!

Lighthearted, btw. Just in case the heat gets to anyone and it’s not obvious

The dustpan but not the brush
The mop bucket but not the mop
3/4 of the pegs
Tin opener and all tins with ring pulls

Chargers, or at least the cable, and leave the plug. Tupperware - that would screw us over in this house. The Philips Hue hub and leave the lights on.

Vipers you’re doing us all proud! These are evil!

Hmmm either the usb charger cables or the usb plugs.

not both though.

You've already done this in my house haven't you?

Those saying scissors, pillow cases and freezer drawer fronts too.

Although the freezer drawer front was DPs hamfisted mate who's known for breaking things due to not knowing his own strength.

We've put up with a frontless freezer section for over 20 years because I didn't want to pay £7 for a tiny bit of plastic to fix it. If I'd have known it was the fridge freezer that would live forever, I would have spent the money.

I'd take a random spice from your spice cupboard/drawer that you won't notice is missing until you've started a recipe that needs it.

Has anyone mentioned taking all the sink and bath plugs?

The clippy thing that you fit the shower head into

You’ve actually already done this in my house haven’t you?

Something that has just one job but nothing else can do it.
Pencil sharpener
Q tips
Melon baller
Toilet brush (or is that going too far)?

The bit on the fan that stops it spinning around so that you only actually get the benefit of the fan for a few seconds before it moves again.

KeyboardWarriorsUnite · 19/07/2022 16:01

TheWeeDonkey · 19/07/2022 16:07

Almost every pen. I'd leave 1 black permanent marker that's run out of ink and a pink gel pen

The bath plug

The last page of every book! Mwahahaha

The curtain ring at the end that prevents the curtains pulling right across at the edges and half your curtain hooks.

the wheels underneath the plate in the microwave so that every thing is either cold or burnt!
the oven gloves
all the charging cables
one sock out of every pair
a good handful of forks so that you are always slightly short...
the labels to all the cans so when you open them its like roulette
all the shelves out of the oven

Every teaspoon except one, & every mug except one per person.
