… 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

Remove labels from tinned food.
Swap the knives forks spoons into a different order so you keep pulling out the wrong one.

I’ll leave all the gin but take all your tonic water, lemonade (or any other mixers I can find) and ice cubes muhahaha 😆🤣

Twokidsanddone · 19/07/2022 19:27

I'd take any sugar. Or empty the sweetener dispenser except for one sweetener. Then steal all the teaspoons. The shoelace out of one of each pair of shoes. I'd take any hairbrushes and just leave one slightly wonky comb

The racks in the oven

Hawkins001 · 19/07/2022 22:37

I would delete all the recordings on your planner and then set up a series link for Homes Under The Hammer, A Place In The Sun and Wheeler Dealers.

I love this!

Tea bags.

History's worst monster.

I have to agree

A washer thingy from the cistern so that the toilet drip drip drips all night long.

Carrotmum · 19/07/2022 23:00

Any echo dots remove or order weird stuff ( could be low cost just for fun)

The contents of cartons apart from the last dribble, so not enough juice for a glassful and not enough milk for a cuppa, then put the almost empty cartons back in the fridge.
Same for boxes of cereal, empty the contents apart for a small amount, not enough for a bowlful, then put the box back.
Take eggs out of the carton apart from one, put the carton back.

TheKipperAndTheCorpse · 19/07/2022 23:22

The last stamp (but not the empty stamp book)
The lid from the marg/butter
The bristles from your hairbrush
The bristles from your mascara brush
The bristles from your toothbrush
All of your tiny cards and all of your big envelopes
The page of the paper with the answers to yesterday's crossword

Ilovesriracha · 19/07/2022 23:24

The clips or sliders that capture the dust and dirt in your bagless vacuum cleaner.

That's not a burglar, that's the resident teenager

midlifecrash · 20/07/2022 00:55

Glasses and cups so that you have to have all drinks from an eggcup or one of those giant soup mugs

the ironed shirts

the zips from duvet covers

Eyerollforwardroll · 20/07/2022 01:25

The cutlery tray so that all your knives forks spoons and any other implement are just in a big messy pile in the drawer.

All your comfy pants leaving that 1 single cheese grater thong you keep in the drawer but can't abide wearing for more than 5 minutes...

IDreamOfTheMoors · 20/07/2022 02:22

The bristles from your brushes.

Huntswomanonthemove · 20/07/2022 02:25

Fans.

NotSoSlimShady8 · 20/07/2022 03:20

All your mattresses

sashh · 20/07/2022 03:56

All the bottom sheets.

Toothbrushes.

The paddle bit from the bread maker.

The screws that keep your toilet seat attached.

Can I do a substitute? Swap all recipe books for foreign language versions.

Download 100 mills and boon to your kindle.

The boxes/containers that the kids Lego is kept in, not the Lego itself. The pieces may accidentally get under the bathmat, beside the bed, on the steps etc as I empty them out.

JustJoinedRightNow · 20/07/2022 05:02

The bit in the door of the fridge where you put your milk and bottles that holds them all in, rendering that space totally useless and making you unable to have bottles in the fridge unless they’re sealed up tight and lying down on the shelves.

bcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyza · 20/07/2022 06:49

Not quite stealing but change the WiFi code in the house

fancyfrogs · 20/07/2022 07:04

All the towels including tea towels

Phone charger
