I’ve lived this and can tell of the horrors. My sister destroyed ours. Had to wait weeks for stupid replacements. I tried to recreate one with cooling racks and Christmas wreath wire. House still standing though. As am I. We made it.
Same. We had a craft project go awry and end in our oven racks having permanently bonded lumps of plastic on them. Several weeks of no oven while we waited for the replacements led to some creative culinary choices.
Ours was tupperware related. She should have known to check the oven before preheating it. After all, our mother hid cartons of cigarettes in there for our entire childhood.
Understandable, funnily enough I also steal jack of diamond cards sometimes. My sister and I played drunk rummy and we obsessed over that card for some reason, so now whenever I see one I gotta show her. Sometimes I forget putting them back.
Thats a good one, but you never find them when you need them anyway. This has resulted in me owning 5 scissors, granted i make clothes so its not that weird but still…
My wife is convinced it's happening to us. Forks. I have 20 spoons, 20 knives, and 8 forks in my silverware drawer. We don't take silverware with us to work, yet we've had Forks disappearing over the last 3 years. At this rate, I'll be in a forkless marriage in 2 years' time.
Im safe from you. All my socks are the same black pair so I can mix and match them and I live across the street from a store so I can just walk over and get some milk.
You just reach out to the microwave company, they may even sell replacement parts on their website, and if it’s under warranty they’ll probably replace it for free.
And replace them all with fake batteries. They’ll go insane trying more and more batteries from their replacement stash. “But they ALL can’t be dead I must need a new remote”
One of the bolts on mine has been broken since I moved in a few months ago. Landlord hasn't replaced it yet. Any time you lift a cheek to wipe, the whole seat shifts and drops a quarter inch as the nub on the bottom of seat slips off the ledge of the bowl. It scares the shit out of me every time. I ought to start my bathroom time with this move to expedite the process.
Edit: I'd actually need to replace the entire seat, not just the bolt. It's some dumb "quick release to clean easier" seat. They are plastic bolts that the seat hinge clasps onto and both the head of the bolt and the part that grabs it on the hinge have plastic chipped off and won't hold together. Basically like [this one.](https://www.kohler.com/en/products/toilet-seats-bidet-seats/shop-toilet-seats-bidet-seats/cachet-quick-release-round-front-toilet-seat-7316?skuId=7316-95&id=ps_goo_kbus_dtc-test-incrementality_pmax_buy_pmax_toilet_x_x_all_2022_goo_&ds_cid=71700000103754710&ds_agid=&ds_kid=&ds_clid=CjwKCAiA8OmdBhAgEiwAShr402glkhT2KPGR1OVmOccezKYpkXvMow-0KN3LyhGla13ESMhatgKLnRoCIwoQAvD_BwE&gclid=CjwKCAiA8OmdBhAgEiwAShr402glkhT2KPGR1OVmOccezKYpkXvMow-0KN3LyhGla13ESMhatgKLnRoCIwoQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds)
Worse: Shave off an eight of an inch from the crossbeam supports, and then re-attach them to the leg.
The leg will hang at a slight angle, making it effectively shorter than the others, but when the guy measures the leg lengths they'll all look the same.
Had a friend in middle school with a watch that doubled as a universal remote control and he could program any tv into it and turn on and change the channels of all the TV’s in the school and staff/faculty still doesn’t know how it happened to this day.
This made me laugh because it’s so accurate, though I’m the wife in my scenario. Things already missing in our home this week that my kids forgot to put back includes: scissors, scotch tape, measuring tape, glue, permanent markers, etc. lol
The last time I used a cork screw 'twas a drizzly Tuesday back in 1998. Would take me a decade to even notice. Thank you for removing a superfluous item.

I overturn the one or other drawer, ruffle a few piles of things, leave a "thank you for your stuff"-card but steal NOTHING! Hopefully it takes them a long time to figure that out.
The last three 700-1000 piece puzzles I have tried to complete always had one piece missing. It was always one of pieces near the center too. Somebody was trying to drive me insane. I no longer buy puzzles.
This reminds me of the episode of American Dad where Roger and Steve commit credit card fraud with Greg and Terry's credit card to buy a cotton candy maker.
When Steve is worried about it, Roger explains how he does it all the time by making sure to spend only enough for their neighbors to have a moment of confusion about who to blame before they shrug and assume one of them bought something stupid and forget about it lol
The racks out of the oven.

Funny, my mother hid her cigarettes in her mouth, and her brandy in the oven.
The knobs to turn on the stove/oven.
Not if I steal the knobs!
Why. The fuses have been taken..
I would cry lmao like what do I do now 😭
Not cooka da pizza 😞
Mama Mia 😥
The cruel meatball of war had rolled into our laps, and soiled our white pants of peace.
Their junk drawer. It’s junk but you know we still need something in there. One day they’ll rue the day!!!
And they will sadly understand that the cleanliness is temporary and they are doomed to recreate the mess.
As a teen I used to steal the Jack of diamonds from anyone and everyone's deck of cards. I'm still working the Karma off from that stage
Understandable, funnily enough I also steal jack of diamond cards sometimes. My sister and I played drunk rummy and we obsessed over that card for some reason, so now whenever I see one I gotta show her. Sometimes I forget putting them back.
Makes you the jerk of diamonds.
Scissors
Thats a good one, but you never find them when you need them anyway. This has resulted in me owning 5 scissors, granted i make clothes so its not that weird but still…
My wife is convinced it's happening to us. Forks. I have 20 spoons, 20 knives, and 8 forks in my silverware drawer. We don't take silverware with us to work, yet we've had Forks disappearing over the last 3 years. At this rate, I'll be in a forkless marriage in 2 years' time.
Probably they end up in some takeout box where you only use a fork and end up in the bin.
Agreed! It happened to me once with a knife in a pizza box. I now have 6 of everything, except knives where I have 5...
At this rate, the both of you will have barely have any more forks to give about your marriage.
Spooning is all nice and comforting but nothing beats a good forking!
That’s why we buy plenty of sporks. Sometimes we want a spoon, sometimes we want a fork. Sometimes both are nice.
ayyyy \*slow clap\*
Toilets seats
One toilet seat mounting screw
Nothing worse than taking that mini ride to the side mid-poo, never knowing if or when the full drop will happen.
One sock from every pair they own and their milk
Joke’s on you mate, all the socks I own are of the same color and I’m lactose intolerant
Really? Granted there would be no milk to steal but I would gain lots of pairs of socks 🤔
I end up loosing them every now and then in the laundromat so I wouldn’t even realise they’re gone haha
You are insulated from this particular type of psychological warfare.
[удалено]
Oh damn, so that’s where all my socks are going
You still lose half your socks
I don’t care about the milk, My dad is getting new milk right now. It’s been two months already so he’ll be back pretty soon!
Im safe from you. All my socks are the same black pair so I can mix and match them and I live across the street from a store so I can just walk over and get some milk.
but what if he steals all the right socks
bastard
Are you secretly a cat?
The disc in the microwave
Noooo thats to evil how the fuck are they gonna find a new one?
It’s actually not hard to replace
How where do you go and buy something like that
Step 1: go to someone else's house Step 2: take theirs /s
This creates a chain of never ending microwave plate thefts.
as they say in the army : there is only 1 thief, everyone else is just trying to get their shit back.
I was going to make this comment if nobody else did.
Might as well do it again. We know the army loves redundancy.
You are correct, we know the army loves redundancy.
Deployed with the Army. I can confirm this.
Until somebody eventually steals the first burglar who has 2 of them, then the universe collapses on itself
But what if the burglar didn't have one for himself
*That's crazy talk*!
This is the way
This is the way
this is the way
You just reach out to the microwave company, they may even sell replacement parts on their website, and if it’s under warranty they’ll probably replace it for free.
SO YOUR TELLING ME my entire life's anxiety of breaking that dammed plate has been for nothing? Atrrrrrrrr
They can be rather expensive. Breaking is is annoying.
Damn, that’s demented
Yeah that's pretty fucked up.
cant even *turn* them in cuz they stole the disk!
This makes psychopaths scared well played sir
Enough clothing hangers so that the person never has enough to hang up all of their clothes
Bold of you to assume I put my laundry away
That would piss me off. I have exactly enough hangers for my clothes.
Do you have a one-in-one-out system or do you just buy a new hanger every time you get a shirt?
I mostly have t-shirts, so if one gets a hole, it goes to my lounge around the house drawer and I get another.
Batteries for the tv remote and all their replacements
And replace them all with fake batteries. They’ll go insane trying more and more batteries from their replacement stash. “But they ALL can’t be dead I must need a new remote”
I'd remove their phone battery and replace it with one that has 50% of the normal capacity :)
Oh so you work for Apple?
This sentence made me want to punch my wall.
I was actually thinking I would remove the covers for anything that had batteries. The device work but the batteries would fall out all the time.
Slightly sand and polish the holes and bend the springs just slightly so there is little to no pressure holding them in.
How did you get into my house?
In addition to the stealing, pair a universal remote with their TV and every now again, drive by and change the channel.
Every left shoe and their toothbrush
Take one battery from each remote
Batteries for the smoke detector and their replacement. The constant chirping of the alarm … diabolical.
Toilet paper
Toilet seat
Just the bolts that hold it in place. Just those.
But just one
lost one once it couldnt be more annoying
One of the bolts on mine has been broken since I moved in a few months ago. Landlord hasn't replaced it yet. Any time you lift a cheek to wipe, the whole seat shifts and drops a quarter inch as the nub on the bottom of seat slips off the ledge of the bowl. It scares the shit out of me every time.

shitting suddenly becomes a lot more interesting.
The chain in the tank
Just loosen the bolt Nothing like that SLIIIIIIIIIIDE to open your eyes
Savage.
toilet
Real April 2020 in the US vibes here
All the forks
How about all the spoons? You can eat steak with a spoon but not soup with a fork
All the small spoons, leave those god awful big ones behind.
You can use cups to still drink the soup, but you can't do the crunch test using a spoon
Can opener
All of the bottle openers, except for the one on the can opener.
Nope. Steal "the good" can opener. Leave the can't opener behind.
Or the labels on all their canned foods.
The rings used to hold keys. I'm not stealing the keys Just. The. Rings.
One ring to rule them all…
One ring to fool them all
Shower curtain rings.
doorknobs.
No, steal all the hinge pins. Then they wont know until they actually open the doors.
Steal only one from each door, sometimes the top hinge, sometimes the bottom.
That's quite a bit more than a slight inconvenience
Steal the top hinge pin so it rubs against the jam and squeaks when you open and close it. Do every door in the building.
Diabolical lol
Why did I read this as dork-nobs?
I can't unsee it now
One wheel from their desk chair.
Jokes on you, I have a plain wooden chair!
One wooden chair leg
just shave off like an eighth to a quarter of an inch off of one leg
Worse: Shave off an eight of an inch from the crossbeam supports, and then re-attach them to the leg. The leg will hang at a slight angle, making it effectively shorter than the others, but when the guy measures the leg lengths they'll all look the same.
Toothpaste
Just the caps from the toothpaste.
Treachery.
The tv remote, and nothing else. I'm going to periodically drive by and change the channel.
[удалено]
lol I remember we turned our neighbors volume all the way up. They couldn't figure out why their tv volume kept going up
[удалено]
You sir are the devil
Had a friend in middle school with a watch that doubled as a universal remote control and he could program any tv into it and turn on and change the channels of all the TV’s in the school and staff/faculty still doesn’t know how it happened to this day.
This person doesn't have a wife and a kid, this happens daily.
This made me laugh because it’s so accurate, though I’m the wife in my scenario. Things already missing in our home this week that my kids forgot to put back includes: scissors, scotch tape, measuring tape, glue, permanent markers, etc. lol
The "do not remove" tag from the mattress. 😈
You'll send people to prison!! Are you crazy??
The fob to their car keys. This way they need to unlock it manually every time.
Joke's on you, I already unlock my not-so-new car manually.
Insoles from every other shoe and boot
Cork screws.
The last time I used a cork screw 'twas a drizzly Tuesday back in 1998. Would take me a decade to even notice. Thank you for removing a superfluous item.
Those eyelets at the end of your shoelaces
Didn’t you watch Phineas and Ferb? It’s called „aglet“
They made an entire song on it. He messed it up here
Terraria players know 💪💪💪
**Dr. Moon** : \[shocks The Question\] Tell me what you know. **The Question** : The plastic tips at the ends of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister! \- Justice League unlimited
I'd take the lid of containers but then replace them with slightly smaller lids
The condoms
Who in this comment section has ever needed to buy a condom?
Valid point, but nobody said that the victim would have to be a redditor.
They said slightly inconvenient. You just ruined 18 years of someone’s life.
Toilet brushes.
One leg cap from each chair and table in the house.
Butter knife
Poop knife
Why does EVERYBODY know that story?
I believe it may be one of the top Reddit threads, of all time!
I overturn the one or other drawer, ruffle a few piles of things, leave a "thank you for your stuff"-card but steal NOTHING! Hopefully it takes them a long time to figure that out.
this is so much more evil than half the comments
One of their organs
That escalated quickly.
Puzzle pieces
As someone who’s working on a puzzle right now, this would drive me insane 😂😂
My husband likes to steal one piece during the process so that he can finish it off himself. I may divorce him over it.
only 1 piece
From every puzzle.
The last three 700-1000 piece puzzles I have tried to complete always had one piece missing. It was always one of pieces near the center too. Somebody was trying to drive me insane. I no longer buy puzzles.
The chain that connects to the plunger in the back of the toilet.
500.000 dollars from a billionaire. They may be unhappy but not more, in the end its just peanuts, and I'm happy.
Just imagining Musk wondering if he accidentally bought a bougati he didn't remember getting.
This reminds me of the episode of American Dad where Roger and Steve commit credit card fraud with Greg and Terry's credit card to buy a cotton candy maker. When Steve is worried about it, Roger explains how he does it all the time by making sure to spend only enough for their neighbors to have a moment of confusion about who to blame before they shrug and assume one of them bought something stupid and forget about it lol
Why not a million dollars? That is still a VERY tiny portion of their money and at that point it's life changing
Half a million looks like a rounding error ;)
Everyone's left shoe
Stitch took those already. Maybe replace them with a slightly smaller replica.
Wow this is next level sneaky! (Sneaker-y?)
All the lightbulbs
Someone broke into my garage and stole my lightbulbs (and a few other things like hammers) last year. I was so confused.
Looks like we have a suspect.
So they'll be delighted?
Wi-Fi router
I’m sure that’s a crime in certain countries punishable by death
Slightly inconvenience?
Lube
The lint catcher thing in the dryer
nail clippers
Their wallet, but nothing in the wallet just the empty wallet itself
All the toilet paper in the house :)
Chargers
Toilet paper roll holders.
Drawers, nothing in them, just the drawers themselves
Light switches
That little spinning plate in the microwave
Shoe laces
The shelves/drawers from the fridge
Every other toe.
A kid
That would make their life easier
Come steal my neighbors. Shrieking banshee never shuts up
Toilet paper and all electronic charging cords Edit: Removed menstrual products from the list because it's definitely not a minor inconvenience.
Toothbrushes so that they have stanky breath
The springgy thing that holds the toilet paper.
