If you wanted to completely ruin someone's day by hiding one of their belongings, which would you pick? For many of us, that item might be a phone or computer charger. If you've ever lost your phone charger while working or waiting to take a video call, you know that sinking feeling of watching the battery die with no way to charge it up again. There's an urgency to get your phone to a charger, and with a dead phone, you can't even order yourself another charger or contact anyone to let them know what's going on. It would be a slightly maddening way to mess with someone's head, and according to the commenters below u/turtle_lover77's story, there are a ton of other ways to get back at a thief. 

The writer of this petty revenge story is fed up with her brother, who keeps eating all of her food. It's not just any food: this person is a vegetarian, so when her brother scarfs down her special food, she's left to go hungry without other vegetarian options. 

Well, commenters gave her ideas such as switching the insoles in her brother's shoes, making them a little uncomfy each time he wears them. Others suggested that she finely grind up some super hot peppers and add it to his food! These commenters are ruthless: check out the whole story, plus their crazy suggestions, down below. 

Next up, this optometry office worker has just started her new gig, but she's already clashing with her coworkers.

    Eat my food? Have fun spending weeks "misplacing" stuff A little background, my (25f) brother (21m) eats my food ALL the time. I constantly complain about it to my parents but they don't care at all. This wouldn't be an issue, but as I am a vegetarian I buy my own food with my own money. It's annoying to go to the supermarket and then have all of my food eaten a few days later.

    Back to the story, yesterday I made lunch and left the leftovers on the kitchen counter as I was leaving for work soon and they would be my dinner. My brother, who decided to have lunch later not only ate the food my mother had left for him but ate my dinner as well.

    When I was packing to leave for work and saw my dinner was gone, I was livid. I confronted him about it and he laughed and said I should have hid it if I was going to eat it and that he had no way of knowing it was my food. While delicious, my food was very clearly not meat looking. Anyway, I had to leave for work and didn't have time to cook anything so I was

    So now, my petty self has decided to take revenge. While I cannot eat his food, I can hide his stuff. Today I hid his protein. powder, it was hidden well enough that he had to spend time looking for it, but not suspect I had done it. He has no idea, it is perfect.

    Tomorrow I'm thinking of maybe hiding his phone charger perhaps, who knows? The possibilities are endless.

    TL;DR my brother ate my dinner and had no remorse, so I am now hiding his stuff and making it look like he just misplaced it.

    Excellent_Ad1132 Eat your food and add ghost peppers to it after you are done, then leave it out. Do this a few times and I bet he will think twice about eating your left overs. Make sure that they are fine enough that he won't notice them or just put in the juice.

    require_a_daschu... If you can't eat his food/use his protein powder just throw it out. When he complains throw his response to you back at him..."you should have hid it if you were going to eat it, had no way of knowing it was your food."

    glonq Holy this is almost my kids! They are 25 and 21. Younger one is an inconsiderate who eats other people's food. And cares most about his protein powder and his phone.

    bibbiddybobbidyb... Swap the insoles of his shoes from right to left and vice versa (assuming not expensive shoes). It will kind of feel off but he won't know how or why.

    [deleted] Add hot peppers to everything after you take our your portion or get a small fridge with a lock for your room and a nanny cam to see if he tries to pick or break the lock. Sounds like he's doing this just to be a

    Stevenstorm505 Find powdered laxatives, add it to his protein powder container, every time he makes a protein shake he'll have to run to take a Especially embarrassing if he has to keep running to the bathroom at the gym.

    Or, since you have to keep wasting money replacing food he's eating, he may think it's the brand of protein powder that's doing it to him, so every time he buys a different brand just add more laxatives to it so he has to keep spending money on new protein powder to replace the previous ones.

    BrookeB79 Take your left overs and dump them in his bed. He wants your food so badly? He doesn't get a choice in how he receives it.

    Ok_Newspaper76... Hide one of his shoes or one of each pair of socks. Toothbrush or razor would be good too
