Someone has been stealing my food in the kitchen. I think that person really deserves a punishment. Any ideas?

Question

I'm living in an apartment with other occupants and we share a kitchen, and therefore, a refrigerator. Someone has been constantly eating my food without my permission. I'm very fed up of this. But I can't trace who that person is. So, I'm in a revenge now. I really want to punish this person. Please help!

Answer 1

Put a lot of chilli pepper in one of your dishes, that's a good punishment for the thief.

Answer 2

Have a meeting or write a note on the refrigerator. Or put your stuff into a locked plastic box on the largest shelf. The person probably only takes certain kinds of foods. So lock that up.

When people live together, there needs to be some trust that things like that won't happen. That happened to me when I was in a rooming house in college. She didn't take the ethnic food. Mostly just eggs. Happened to my son as well when he went to college and shared an apartment. Everyone knew who it was and he wouldn't change. That was cured when the semester was over and they split up.

Answer 3

This can be a real problem. When I lived with a shared refrigerator we kept out food in locked filing boxes. Milk and juice bottles didn't fit. If I were doing it today, I'd have a dorm size refrigerator in my room and put a padlock on it if necessary. Nothing worse than coming home thinking your going to make a sandwich and find that someone else has eaten your cold cuts.

Answer 4

Bring it to the attention of the group that you are aware that someone is eating your food without permission. Then for give that person in front of the group, even though you do not know who they are. Revenge is a two edged sword that swings both ways. Forgiveness is the honorable way to go and it will return to you with many blessings. Let go of what is gone and cannot be retrieved or it will control your life.

Answer 5

Make a small batch of brownies with 4 packages of "EXLAX" laxatives in them. They will surely $hiT their way through the next week and you will be happy about that stealing for the moment.

The day after, place a note about your brownies being stolen and they had a special drug in them for an experiment. The thief will then think long and hard before he / she does it again.

Next plan would be to install a little camera in the kitchen cupboard that has a hole in it and see for yourself who is doing it. then play it for the person and SURPRISE... they either move out or apologize !

Answer 6

Put a dye all over one of the dishes. One that doesn't come off skin. Whoever ends up with purple hands, is your culprit. The other option is to set up a video camera.

And if you really want to be mean, cook some meat that is bad, and store it in the fridge. Whoever gets sick, is them. Or, you could bake brownies with chocolate exlax in them. hehehe I'm evil.

Answer 7

The oldest and simplest solution to this age old problem is still the best. A potent laxative mixed into the food will not only reveal the guilty party, but punish them as well. Plus, it's really funny.
