How many have considered this approach to food thiefs?

    I’ve seen this video like 3 times this week. The person walking by has nothing to do with this, the coughing is an external audio clip. It’s literally just a video of someone looking judgementally into their phone camera.

    Ghost peppers are bad she could have gone full send and used Carolina reapers 😂I never had a issue with coworkers taking my lunch depending on the person yea id probably do the same or maybe a laxative 🤣

    A couple guys from Rhode Island thought it would be real funny to do this to a man they met at a restaurant while on a road trip. They snuck some hot peppers onto his burger while he went to the bathroom and when he came back, he took a big bite. Unbeknownst to them, the guy had a stomach condition and the hot peppers inflamed it, making it difficult for him to breathe. He tried to direct the two Rhode Islanders to give him his medicine that he had in his pocket, but instead they grabbed rat poison he had on him for some reason (perhaps he was an exterminator?) and forced it down his throat in an attempt to save him. Needless to say, the guy died.

    So be careful.

    Everyone at work knows me. Nobody will steal my lunch.

    Won’t fly in Illinois. It’s still considered “aggravated battery” to booby trap anything that may cause injury.

    It is a crime to “booby trap” things, even food. Yes stealing food is bad, but you cannot intentionally cause distress to someone for the express purpose of doing so, even if it’s deserved.

    Now if you like really really spicy food, and you can prove you enjoy really really spicy food, then how can anyone blame you for someone else stealing your food you made to enjoy eating yourself.

    EDIT: a lot of people having mixed feelings about what I posted. I fully agree those who steal food form other’s mouths *ought* to be punished, and super spicy food is a fitting punishment. HOWEVER, regardless of your feelings or opinions about it, it is *unlawful* to booby trap your food with spice. Your *intent* to cause harm is what matters. People asking about loopholes, I am not a lawyer, not your lawyer, and even if I was, it is illegal to render legal advice on how to commit crimes.

  7. I always make my food insanely hot. Wouldn’t be my fault if they die as i fully intentionally wanted to eat that.

    My food remains untouched because the rest of my family has learned this same lesson. 10/10 would recommend

    I worked at a pretty nice restaurant about a decade ago. Our dishwasher was this short Mexican dude in his 40s and I was on saute most nights and made him dinner when I worked. He always asked for very spicy and would always complain that it wasn’t. I got sick of him giving me a hard time, so I brought some ingredients from home one day and made him a gnocchi dish with about 2 tablespoons of ghost pepper flakes in it. He never complained about my normal spicy dinners again lol

    I’ve done this. Worked in a large office and my food kept getting stolen out of the fridge. I just started making everything obnoxiously hot.

    Didn’t work though. I would just find 95% of my burrito in the garbage. So I started labelling my food with the Sr. Director’s name and that did the trick.

    It’s the whole reason I got into super hots to begin with.

    Perhaps like many of us:

    I freely acknowledge that I have a habituation. To the point that I’ve walked to & from a restaurant, half a mile back to my car, on a bad foot, just because I left my stash of smoked ghost pepper powder behind. So I would not be too concerned about being accused of setting a booby trap…
