Hiding food.

[L-PinkVsD-Pink327 177]

You know, I'm going to get my brothers for this. In case you guys didn't know, I'm only able to eat certain foods.

 

So when my little brothers decide to take all of the rest of that certain food, then leave half of that to rot on the table, THEN I have to clean up that (It mocks me as I carry the plates to the sink)...

 

*sigh* Now I have to cut into my sleeping time to make more for tommorow. So any suggestions on how to hide food that needs to be refridgerated? I'm getting sick of this and I don't want to wake up again with nothing to eat for breakfest or lunch.

 

Any ideas? I'm three steps away from taking the food container, putting it in a cooler, filling it with ice, and hiding it in my closet.

I usually hide it somewhere most people don't look, like behind the vegetables.

Buy a mini fridge and keep it in your closet.

Make something really really good that you know they will eat. Eat some of it so that it looks like leftovers from an earlier meal. Sprinkle a generic laxative over the leftovers. Place leftovers in fridge. Allow a lesson to be learned the soft way.

Theres only an 8% chance my parents would allow me to buy that, even with my own money.

 

Besides, there's no electrical socket in my closet, and any wires leading to places my little siblings can't see leads to them looking themselves. When they find it, their thought process goes like this: "My big brother hid this from us. We shall inspect it heavily to see why."

 

I speak from expierence. That's how I lost my first Nebulizer. And second Xbox. And laptop (Well actually my parents took that before my siblings could break it. My mom placed it somewhere and we never saw it again.)

If you can only eat certain foods due to a medical condition, what they are doing is the very worst kind of bullying. I don't mean to sound mean, but if I were you I would just bid my time. Next time you see them eating their favorite food, just calmly lean over and smash your hands into it. Mash it to a mess, and then dump it on them. If this doesn't work, go into their rooms when nobody is home. Find their most prized possession, and break it. Then when they run and tell your parents, calmly explain why you did it, and tell them all that you will do it again if they ever tamper with your necessary nourishment again.

 

Frankly, if they stole your nebulizer, you should tell your parents about their continuous sick and malicious attempts to cause you bodily harm.

 

I can not stand bullies!

 

One more thing. How handy are you with tools? Buy a lock and install it on your bedroom door.

[Swoop 2,279]

There appears to be only one obvious solution here:

1. Put your food In a box and lock it with a key.

2. Bury the key, and build a house on-top of the hole where you buried the key.

3. Then move into the house on-top of the key. Problem solved

But in all seriousness, you could possibly consider locking your food in some sort of container with a key or combination padlock. That way you can stil keep your food chilled in the fridge, without having to worry about your little brother nicking anything.

I understand how you feel. My father sometimes takes some salty stuff from the kitchen, where my mom keeps them to calm down her stomach issues.

He says he "can't see her name written on it", but that's the lamest excuse in the world for taking what someone needs that you don't.

 

 

Telling your parents is, of course, the best course of action at this point. In case you already did and your brothers are still doing it, I'll assume that: a) they can't keep your brothers' behavior in check, your brothers do that only when they're not there, or c) your parents... simply don't even care.

Swoop's suggestion to put a locked container in the fridge sounds like a good idea. Unless your brothers can pick locks, or can invite a friend who can do it for them.

 

Getting revenge (hiding something of their own, making a mess of their favorite food...) might feel good on the spot, but it won't do a lot in the long run. As for teaching "lessons" (such as putting laxatives in food leftover), it depends; they might get the message and decide to stop, or tell themselves it's just a one-time thing and keep up the bullying.

And worse still, they might want to get back at you. Not that they'd be going out of their way, but they might decide to "punish" you, steal something that they weren't initially intending to take.

 

I'm not gonna say that's your siblings' motivation because I don't know your siblings. But bullies and tyrants are generally worried that some sort of weakness will impede their dominance over their victims, moral values being among such weaknesses.

Because remember, those who do things like these, usually seek the feeling of power. And if the victims try to get back, well - they must be repressed with little mercy, because mercy equals pity equals weakness.

Buy a mini-fridge.

 

They can never get in.

 

Profit.

Actually them breaking my nebulizer was more due to them dropping it several times (I was wondering what that thumping was) while they tried to figure out how it worked. Their ages are between 5-10, so them doing stuff like that is expected.

 

The reason I kept it in my closet was because there was no other safe place to put it. However I got abit lazy in packing it up the last time I used it.

I'm notorious for hiding food.

If the food is not perishable I will hide it in a draw (if it wont attract bugs). If it will then I might hide it high on the shelves in the kitchen or maybe in an empty pot.

Who took the cookies from the cookie jar?

Who took the cookies from the cookie jar?

 

I did...problem? ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

Speaking of cookies, I always hide some of those in my furniture

[Lucky Bolt 35,246]

My siblings are always hiding the cookies and what not from me.  Too bad for them though, cause I’m smart enough to know just where they hide them...and I often hide stuff from them in revenge.

We often shares so we don't bother hiding food. Even to the extend if there's a slice of cake, we'd split into four pieces.

[Dreambiscuit 11,398]

I don't really have to hide any food because nopony at my place likes the stuff I eat. Most of it is too spicy. If they want to take a shot at something that's been doused in Ghost Pepper sauce, be my guest. It'll only happen once methinks.
