Hilarious Twitter Thread Of Things People Would Steal To Mildly Inconvenience Their Victims (30 Pics)
The world that we have built for ourselves is full of handy gadgets and products that we use to make our lives easier and more comfortable. Pretty cool, isn't it? Yet there is a downside to all this convenience. We have become so reliant on all these things in our day-to-day lives that if they were to be taken away from us, we would struggle to know how to live without them!
This tongue-in-cheek Twitter discussion, initiated by Yowie Wowie, hilariously sums up this situation by asking: “You are a burglar but instead of stealing things you do things that are mildly inconvenient to your victims. What are you stealing?”
From phone chargers to Tupperware, Wifi code stickers and toilet paper, these evil geniuses are determined to find people's weaknesses and exploit them to the maximum!

Every time you lose a sock in the dryer, you gain a new tupperware lid!
Yowie Wowie, whose real name is Keifer, is a New York-based Trinidadian who works as a musician. He really didn't expect his funny tweet to blow up like it did, and has enjoyed reading through the responses. "I was curious to see what other people would come up with," he told Bored Panda. "They were hilarious!"
Due to his love for music, Keifer told us that the item that he most dreads losing is his precious headphones. But what couldn't you live without? According to Bustle, a study was conducted by UK-based loan service 'Lending Stream' where nearly 2,000 British adults were asked to name the things in life whose lost would inconvenience them the most.
For men, the majority of them (40 percent) said their TV was the most important thing in their life, while nearly 50 percent of women said it was their toothbrush.
Your profile pic perfectly matches this comment.

I would take the straw out, clean it, then fill the straw with lube. So that when they use the lotion it will never dry lol.
I did this because my father-in-law gets inside of everything.
Load More Replies...Oh my god you could just do it to the bathroom and ruin the day. My sister had one of those arms that keeps the lid down so kids can't get in, when it was first installed she didn't tell anyone how to use it until they asked, and it was basically a game of 'how long will someone try to open this without asking for help.' For several that went there the point of asking for help was the point when they were about to explode.
That one time you go to someone's house and its entirely baby proofed 😡
Oh the years I had to bungee cord kitchen cabinets shut to keep cats out, lol.
Good thing they don’t have opposable thumbs, eh?
Load More Replies...Things like shampoo, moisturizer, hair brushes, shower gel, and conditioner made the top 20 list of things women couldn’t live without, while things like going on a vacation, their sisters, their dads, and sex fell further down the list.
On the flipside, after television, 36.5 percent of men said they couldn’t live without their partners followed by their beds (35.5 percent) and their cars (32.5 percent).
I... love that. I don't know why, but that's awesome.
Load More Replies...If you are the type of person who doesnt change the password to your own custom password... you deserve this. Plain and simple.
I would just replace the sticker with something very similar but with slight differences in the password.
Hi, Mother Shipton's Rave in a Cave, I lived in Knaresborough for about 12 years 1995 -2007 To all you other Pandas, Mother Shipton's Cave is in Knaresborough North Yorkshire UK, Mother Shipton was a prophetess who lived in the cave about 500 years ago. There is a well with a high mineral content that can make soft things like teddies and baby booties look like they're made of stone after about 3 months immersion. The things hanging up there look kind of spooky.
please, tell me how to do this! i have in this list a film like since forever! i finished watching it but skipped like the last few minutes and now it Shows not finished, even when i rewatch it. please help, it's driving me crazy
If you log in to Netflix on a browser, you get options to remove things from your watched list. It should act as though you've never seen it. However it shouldn't still be showing as not finished if you went back in to watch the end, so no guarantees I suppose. Anyway, once you're in, click your account image in the top-right, then choose "Account". (I had to click the Netflix logo in the top-left first.) Under "My Profile" you should see "Viewing Activity". Now on the far right of each item there's a "hide" icon (like the No Smoking symbol but without a cigarette). Good luck!
Load More Replies...I have stuff in my "continue watching" history I've never watched once. Fill me in?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO do you know how many hours I've put into that. And how many time I cannot remember what I watched last
The study also found that the average person would be willing to shell out more than £4,000 (about $6,250) so they wouldn’t have to live a year without their favorite thing. Who could go a whole year without brushing their teeth?
Chris deBoer, CEO of Lending Stream which carried out the study said: "This is a refreshing snapshot into the attitudes of people and how they choose to spend their money.
"Far from being extravagant with money, it is the simple things in life that they can't live without."
I would steal every left sock. They´d blame it on the washing machine, and it would never be traced back to me.
I had some friends whose toddler took off all the labels from the cans in their pantry. They had "surprise" vegetables at their meals for months!
I had a similar story with a friend of mine back when we used to do reenactment - WWII. We used to remove the original labels from the cans and replace them with printouts of old ones from that era to make our camp as authentic as possible. The proper way to do it is one label at a time. This friend was a bit absent minded at that moment, so he peeled about 10 cans of almost the exact size before realising what he has done, piling the cans together and sadly sighing: Welp, and now I have no idea where the spam is and where the peaches are...
Load More Replies...Who even invented throw pillows and what is the actual function of it? Stupid thing is just inconvenience and takes up space.
Load More Replies...….and for good measure u could also superglue shut the cabinets and drawers in kitchen
And put them in the carton in a really random order. They'd either have to go through and check all of them or be surprised at random intervals.
Load More Replies...dont swap the batteries. just turn them around so people think they are dead :D
I always spin the eggs before cracking them, to check whether they are raw or cooked (I have brothers) Raw ones don't spin well as the insides can still move. Check for condensation in case some git has frozen them to mislead you
And remove all the leads from the mechanical pencils and swap good pens for dead ones!
uh.... you can still press the switches on the keyboard... just no key caps?
You'd be surprised to see how many people can't type blind and will never find the a and e again.
Load More Replies...y is a vowel in English if there's no other vowels, so you'd take that too
Load More Replies...Plot twist: the owner of the house has only one leg- their right leg. No inconvenience had.
Exactly. Wars have been fought over the key! (Or if not, its about time they were).
Load More Replies...Id remove the tabs from every can in the house (bc it'd be inconvenient and I collect them)
half the fuses from the fuse box, the knobs from the washer and dryer, one leg from each chair/couch, the thing that makes the doorbell sound, the toilet lid from each bathroom(stick them to the living room ceiling with super glue and a whole role of duck tape because i can) as well as covering the top of the toilet with duck tape, tinfoil, and shrink wrap. 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
Load More Replies...Release the fruit flies, forget the kraken. Those little buggers will swarm all over their kitchen sink and all else there is a nesting spot to rest their tiny legs on. You are truly evil...muhuwhahaha.
Good luck to anyone who would in my house. I have a lot of pretty big books, with a lot of chapters. And that isn't including the monster Thomas the Tank Engine book from when I was young. 😃😃😃
Load More Replies...The pages of the books one is pure and absolute evil. I'm proud of you, yet intimidated.
It’s a measuring cup used for cooking. They usually come in sets of which consist of 1 cup, 1/2 cup 1/3 cup and 1/4 cup.
Load More Replies...The pages of the last chapter of every book ??? How dare you ! You deserve to be executed-
I like you because of your name, it's rare I meet someone with a similar name to mine
just take the rings for the curtain rod.. leave only the two middle ones lol
Lol don’t have a shower curtain! And you will never find all the tv remotes and iPhone chargers because we can’t even find them all! And also the cord and where it’s plugged in for my fridge is for some reason ridiculously hard to find.
You not evil enough for this thread. Go eat an ice cream and be eternally happy. Btw. Your cone I replaced with plastic. Hahaaaaaaaz
It's like a mechanical bull in the dark at 3am.
Load More Replies...Please come to my house. After tens years the thing is welded on with rust. At least it you took one I'd only be left with one to removed. Wd40 has done f all.
No, I think the springs would be better. I'm constantly taking my pens apart in class, and the number of springs I've lost... it's tortlure.
When I was little I thought if I blower into the the little tube with the ink in it I could push the ink down and get it to work again. I inhaled some ink. Spat it out and have never told anyone because I didn’t think I would need to. I was fine though
I would remove the inks and swap them all around as much as possible >:D
Mine beeps and talks every two minutes: BEEP BEEP BEEP Low battery.
Load More Replies...I would like to know that too... once, one beeped on a sunday afternoon, now I am sure the end is near
Load More Replies...As someone who has woken up to their house engulfed in flames, don't do this to anyone. Ever.
That sounds horrifying. I hope you or anyone else didn't get hurt.
Load More Replies...Why steal something to mildly inconvenience somewhen when you can potentially murder them! :-p
Oh dear...my next door apartment neighbor had one with a digital voice that said "Low battery" every 60 seconds or so. He either didn't know what it meant or didn't care. I had to call the landlord to get it fixed.
The light bulb from the ceiling fixture closest to the front door. The knobs on a cookstove. The E and T keys on a keyboard. I’s hard to yp much wihou hm.
All my clocks are digital. So that wouldn't work in my house. Hahaha on you.
Good luck on that one in my house. I don’t own a single clock with hands. Now, when hubby and I got married almost 44 years ago and received 10 clocks of different variations, all had hands. Might mention we went through 10 or 12 years of marriage before we bought a new clock.
I would leave the adapters and just take all the cables they actually use and replace them with ones that won't fit.
But what if you can’t find all of the adapters? Because I found about half a dozen adapters under my parents bed once and they had no clue they were there and I’m sure we have more hiding somewhere…
My so laughed at me but I taped our as soon as we got the remotes because been there done that.
Load More Replies...Nope. They actually mean a book shelf. Some unfortunate people are in the bathroom so long that they need a book and some people are so aware of this that they provide easy reading material - joke books and so forth.
Load More Replies...Screw the coffee filters I'm leaving fresh corn leaves because ouchie
If anyone ever steals your aglet (or it just falls off), make a new one out of tightly wrapped masking tape.
And put your drawstring in a straw to resting them or one of my favorites is to tape it to a chopstick and restring it. I’m a pro at this none of my sons waistlines ever fit because he’s too tall so I’ve had to personally string stuff for years.
Load More Replies...I would just switch each DVD into a different case. Muah ha ha ha ha!
You can also take a lighter to your shoelaces if your aglet is missing. Just spark it for a second or two until it begins to melt then blow out the flame and then squeeze it into shape with your fingers. Careful not to burn yourself.
Tape one end to a straightened coathanger/pipe-cleaner and thread through.
Load More Replies...Oh man... if i came home to this kind of hell, i'd turn around a leave! (finally an excuse to run away!! 8-D )
I saw the emoticon and thought it was a d**k oofy
Load More Replies...You can have the fitted sheets, they are just a pain. A regular sheet tucked in all around works better.
The kitchen scissors!!! Noooooo!!!! We lose them all the time and we have like three pairs for the kitchen alone!!
Microwaves must never be tampered with! that is dangerous. You can kill yourself doing such a thing. Not a good thing to even contemplate. Very dangerous. May as well handle explosives and wait for it to go off in your hands. Same thing. Just cut the cord. ^^
Actually the part they are talking about is super easy to remove, like literally just open the door like you always do when putting food in, then lift the spinny plate up like you would when taking it out to clean it, then the thing it sits on, like you would to clean it. Literally they are designed remove-able so you can clean them super easy.
Load More Replies...Actually that is the dryers job. It is usually trapped in the place nobody ever checks for them. Yup, trust me.
Load More Replies...That actually happened to me. Sort of. My house was burgled and they stole a sock to prevent leaving finger prints. M**o's.
I don't have a single pair of plain socks and a HUGE sock collection. This would take them quite some time, but it would break my heart :'(
If they’ve got a cat like mine the batteries on the table won’t be there very long
Eggs don't actually need to be refrigerated. They'll stay fresh on your counter for about 20 days.
Only in countries/areas where they don't wash off the protective outer layer (cuticle) of the egg.
Load More Replies...Oh for crying out loud......I have 2 sons .....15 years apart.......this is just the way my world turns
Leaving eggs won't do a thing. They sit in a warehouse for months before they even hit the stores bud. That isn't evil at all. Sorry.
Better yet, replace it with a different colour.
Load More Replies...Or replace all their silverware with those little ones for babies and toddlers! LOL
I'd dull all the sharp knives, and sharpen all the dull ones into razors.
The lids to the tupperware have already been taken. I suspect the dog.
I hate being this person, but please, PLEASE don't let your cat play with your hair ties. My kitty used to do the same, and I also thought it was super cute. Until one day when she couldn't keep down food and was in a lot of pain every time she was touched. I immediately brought her to the vet. She had emergency surgery to remove a blockage from her intestines. Turns out she was eating the hair ties and they wrapped around her intestines and kept getting tighter. Thankfully we got there in time. She's happy and healthy today, but the vet said if we had waited another 24 hours we wouldn't have been so lucky! And you can bet I keep my hair ties secured in a bag, in a drawer, AND out of her reach!!
Load More Replies...they have already been to my house, and have stolen all of the right handed gloves
I might actually hunt you down if you stole all my sharp knives, I'm very particular and my kitchen knives. Very. Particular.
Half pillow cases and half blanket cases so they have to use ones that doesn't match. :P
Instead of taking every sharp knife i would take the thing you use to sharpen knives
all the bugs and spiders be like: " ok ya'll i'm moving in"
Don’t they already? And frogs and snakes and lizards sometimes
Load More Replies...Id mess with the closet doors a bit, so they cant close all the way. Like so the door slightly stands out and you cant push it in.
That is infuriating. Worst than stealing something. You are sir, are an evil mastermind. I’m not sure if I should praise you for coming up with that
Load More Replies...Not the outside doors. Wouldn't want to endanger anyone. But all the others would be fair game!
Just padlock the doors. Fill in the part where you can try to pick the lock. Or better yet, solder them shut. But set an alarm on each door so when they do get it open....weeeooo wwweee oooo!
Iv actually done this to my friend I used to live with because she used to hang every jacket and coat she owned over every door in the house.
Ooh, what about those door stop things that keep door knobs from banging into walls? They probably wouldn't even notice til the first time it happens.
But I guess it wouldn't matter too much if they took the door knobs lol
Load More Replies...But what if I don’t have blinds like that? Only my Nan has them
I'm also going to lock all the doors from the inside so they can't get in.
Good luck with randomly rearranging my books, as they are in no particular order 😊
Ah, but you still know, which one is where. Now, you wouldn't.
Load More Replies...That wouldn't irritate me one bit. They're not in a specific order anyway
Mine are all random. However I would be quite impressed if I came home one day and they were arranged by the dewey decimal system.
I have pictures of my bookshelf order so I’ll just put them all back in their respectable place. Also, half my bookshelf is empty because I have books all over the floor of my room. I like putting books onto my bookshelf anyway so this isn’t bad
My bookshelf in my house is on carpet, so all the big books are on lower shelves. You'd probably make it top-heavy and squash yourself. But you go ahead and try XD
(currently cardboard pieces are placed below the bottom so it's stable)
Load More Replies...Arrange the books by color (I've actually seen this in design magazines - I don't think they understand how books work).
No no no with this you just replace the bags with other bags that dont belong to the item so when they try to fix it the screws/nuts and Alan wrench dont match and they slowly drive themselves crazy trying to figure out why it's not working!!
my kids do that already to any drink or food item..... leave just above the point of empty and leave the container in the fridge, or cupboard.... because they're too lazy to throw it away or be the "last one" the use whatever it is. brats. all of em!!
Loose car floor mats can cause accidents. This is not slightly inconvenience its a fatal sabotage.
But if they take my pencil erasers, all the leads will fall out! 0.7 and 0.5 will co-mingle in the desk drawer and I'll never be able to refill one confidently again!
Load More Replies...There's this folk tale from where I work, apparently one time this user called in and said that their password didn't work - if they entered it standing up. A tech went over and was able to observe and even replicate this phenomenon. When they finally solved it, they realized that the "N" and "M" from the keyboard were switched. Sitting down, they were touch-typing. Standing up, they were hunting and pecking, and getting caught by the switch. I dunno if it's true, but it's awesome...
Load More Replies...Ha, I'm way ahead of you. My keyboard is already not labelled. 71mqlJNDMY...L1500_.jpg
It’s alright. I remember where every key is on the keyboard so I’ll be able to figure it out. Or I can just press the keys and write what key it is again
the letters from my keaybord erased becouse uts old and cheap, I draw them back with liquid paper (couse Im cheaper than my keayborad )
My work keyboard has almost all of the letters rubbed off. (P, Q, Z, and X are the only unscathed letters.) I'm a really good touch typer but my coworker wasn't and had to have me help her when she was trying to do something on my computer.
I think most people have muscle memory for that sort of thing. It would probably take a while for them to notice.
I would drill little holes in each spoon. So every time they eat with them they drip just a little and stain their clothes.
Not ALL the spoons, just the little ones. Then they have to eat cereal with servingwear, and feel like they've shrunk!
To bad mine have already gone missing. I have teenagers and they seem to misplace them all.
I would put clear nail polish over the deodorant. So every time they use it, it does not work. Its subtle but on a hot day it would be very noticeable. As for the toilet paper, switch it out for fast dissolving toilet paper.
But they attacked my house already and now, I'm all right now.

Load More Replies...Instead of stealing, I would put some cat furniture in houses without cats, just to confuse people: "WTF, did you bought a cat without my consent?" or "Oh thank you honey, you finally bought me a cat! But where is he?"... So they know that cats rule the world even if they're not around.
Omg😮 You people are truly evil. Me..I'm moving everything that is not nailed down, 1/2 an inch to the left. Or right. heehee
Amateurs It’s not about what you can take but what you bring. Example: a pair of underwear...
I would take one or two puzzle pieces from each puzzle (and mix up all the CDs if they have any left or play video games)
The puzzle one is genius, because they may not get around to doing the puzzle for a few months. Than they start a new puzzle...sit back and watch the fireworks.
Load More Replies...First of all I would put small amounts of nutella on the toilet seat then on the toilet handle, the sink taps and the toilet door handle and the stair bannisters. Just a small amount then I would put a smear on every cleaning implement, towel and cloth. Then I would steal the light out of the fridge
Carefully remove then swap the labels on the Tuna and Cat Food tins.
Maybe someone has been foing this for years with drill chuck keys and the last pieces of puzzles.
When I had cats, they would eat my puzzle pieces. Little devils.
