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.

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.
