“He Didn’t Stop Crying For An Hour”: Guy Adds Ghost Pepper Flakes To His Leftover Pizza To Punish A Food-Thieving Sibling

Love them or hate them – chances are, your relationship with your siblings is as bumpy as the most treacherous road one could possibly find.

It’s no big secret that sibling bonds are among the most challenging and, perhaps, even brutal ones – however, it’s hard to say that the phenomenon is unusual.

Whether you quarrel because you genuinely can’t stand each other or, as per this instance, because you continuously catch your little brother at food theft – it’s vital to remember that, at the end of the day, the connection you have with your sibling will last longer than any other bonds you might have throughout your life.

It will most likely outlive the one you have with your parents, love interests, spouses, children, and perhaps even friends; however, this doesn’t mean that you’re obligated to endure their antics, especially if they’re at their wildest due to those nasty teenage hormones.

    Sometimes, an act of small-scale retaliation isn’t a bad idea

    AITA for spiking my leftovers with Ghost Pepper flakes to teach my brother a lesson?” – this netizen took to one of Reddit’s favorite communities to find out whether he’s a jerk for sprinkling one of the world’s hottest chili peppers on his leftovers to get back at his little sibling who kept stealing his food. The post has managed to receive over 29K upvotes, as well as 1.3K comments discussing the man’s sweet revenge.

    Brother “spikes” leftover pizza with ghost pepper flakes to teach his food-thieving sibling a lesson

    The man began his post by sharing that his little sibling is infamous for eating other people’s food. The parents did get involved – however, nothing has helped, and he continues eating meals that he knows are not his.

    One time, the family decided to order in. They got some pizzas from one joint and each ordered their own, but since the author of the post wasn’t at home, his dad took the order knowing that the man would be happy to eat it the next day.

    Since the packaging is the same, each family member wrote their name on their box so that they could easily tell the pizzas apart, but even that didn’t stop the little guy from devouring the pie.

    Once the author got home, he was excited to get that pizza out – yet, when he opened the box, he noticed that there were only two slices left. He immediately knew that his sister hadn’t eaten it because she’s not so fond of pepperoni; it wasn’t his mom either since she’s on a plant-based diet, and it wasn’t his father because he never touches anything without asking – so it was clear that it was his little brother who committed the crime.

    According to the author, the events left him rather displeased since the pizza business they ordered from is superb, and he couldn’t be satisfied by only a few pieces.

    Well, here comes the revenge plan: The man stated that knowing his sibling and how he’d demolish the rest of his box soon, he decided to sprinkle some ghost pepper flakes on the last two slices.

    Later on, when the author of the post was minding his business in the living room, he heard his brother coming down the stairs to eat again. The youngster grabbed the pizza box right in front of the man and took a couple of bites. The post’s creator rushed into the kitchen to grab and hide the milk, and seconds later, he heard his brother’s panic.

    Apparently, he didn’t stop crying for an hour.

    My mum had a work colleague who stole food every single day. So the rest of the team got together and made some delicious looking cupcakes which all had a secret capsule of blue food colouring inside them. One bite from this person and she had a blue face for a week. Never stole again.

    I see food theft as a "fvck you" to the person that you're stealing from. This kid KNOWS it's not okay to steal other people's food, even family, but the little shithead does it anyway. If I were OP, the second little bro started crying, I would have laid into him, verbally. "THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T STEAL OTHER PEOPLE'S FOOD, YOU F*****G A*****E! I WILL KEEP DOING THIS UNTIL YOU F*****G STOP, YOU PIECE OF S**T". I know that sounds harsh, but a simple "talking-to" from the parents clearly did nothing. At all. Assholes get treated like assholes. NTA in the slightest, even if it makes me petty, idgaf.

    So hear me out here. The little brother is only partially an AH and the responsibility lies with the parents. Why? Because the lil bro is an effin teenage boy. They eat from sunrise to sundown. If you are not going to get enough food just for him, his "starving" body will make sure he'll get his hands on something to eat one way or another. My brother was a teenager 30 years ago but I still remember him stuffing his face what seemed like all day long. Was never fat either. Teenage boys are like babies, a full nutritional meal every two hours lol

    I DO NOT share my food. The only couple of people that I might let have a bite are my sister and my mom, otherwise I don't share food. I certainly don't share my food if it has been stolen. If someone was starving, I would share my food, but if a person is just being a greedy pig, they are not getting a bite. I like this revenge.

    Grabbing and hiding the milk. Have to say, that was the best part of the story. It's like a silent "I own you now, little bro!"

    In response to where this would be considered assault if done in the workplace - There are quite a few places in the US where tampering with someone's food where you knowingly create bodily harm (in this case they can make an argument that they suffered intense pain from the ghost pepper) is a felony. Doesn't matter if the food was stolen or not since the intent was to cause harm to the food ganker. Now, I am not saying that proving the intent is easy nor am I advocating for the law, nor am I saying I approve of the stealing of food. Just stating a fact around food tampering.

    14?. He's not a kid. He's 14. He knows what he's doing and he keeps doing it because there was no demotivating factor... 'talking to' by parents has obviously not been a deterrant. Sorry, I thought this was a child - like... I dunno... 7 years old. 14??? self-centred, little jerk - he's lucky he just got ghost peppers. (I still remember watching the drama of the office-food thief and the chocolate cupcakes made with laxatives)

    My twin 15 year old sons eat EVERYTHING no matter who it belongs to. They get punished by me leaving rotten food around for them to get into because they aren't smart enough to check if it's still edible. Lmao

    Good-natured AH, but also NTA lol. Spiking the pizza with tongue-killing pepper is mean, but against a food thief or in this instance, plain food robbing, is absolutely justified XP
