Can you imagine going to get dressed in the morning only to find none of your pants had buttons on them?

At least with the first pair, you’d be minorly inconvenienced and move on to another. But what are you going to do when NONE of your pants have buttons?

Hopefully your evil thief left behind some safety pins.

Quite a few people wanted to take things from the fridge, but the lightbulbs were by far the most popular.

It’s probably easy enough to find another, but having to shine a flashlight in there until you found time to go to the store (and then figure out how to install it) would be beyond annoying.

Speaking of being left in the dark, how infuriating would it be to have to replace all the wands (or “twisty sticks” as Seamus the Shank Engine calls them) on your blinds in order to get the right amount of light?

That’s just cruel.

This person isn’t going in halfway. They’re taking all sorts of things that are inconvenient to replace.

And since Tupperware lids are so hard to keep track of anyway, you’d be looking for them for hours wondering where the mismatched stash was hiding.

Oh, and the stove burners are a nice touch.

It’s nothing that a piece of duct tape won’t fix, but can you imagine having to replace all of those remote covers?

How long do you think it would take you to figure out they were intentionally taken?

Ok, so taking the pillows is just rude, but stripping the canned goods of their labels is next level.

Imagine never knowing what was in store for you when you opened a can for dinner.

Is it tomato sauce? Corn? Soup?

There’d be only one very inconvenient way to find out.

What’s worse than just taking all the fruit? Opening it just enough so it can spoil within hours.

That’s wasteful AND inconvenient.

It would feel like the sock goblins were working overtime if you suddenly found yourself with no matching pairs.

Would you know someone took them or simply assume the day had finally come when the laundry won?

Oh, this person isn’t stealing your keychain, they’re leaving that behind along with your keys.

But that won’t do you much good after she steals those little rings that connect everything together.

Just picture having to carry around a pile of keys all day and sifting through them to unlock each new door.

Say goodbye to your microwave, remotes, and toilet. They’ll still be there, they just won’t be easily useable after this thief hits your home.

For some reason that makes it seem especially irritating.

Every now and then you need to access that long and convuluted (but secure!) Wifi password written on your router’s sticker.

But can you picture going to consult it only to find it’s been peeled away?

That’s the kind of cruel thievery that leaves you shaking your fists at the sky as you prepare for that long conversation with customer service.

Do you remember exactly where you left off on every show you’ve watched on Netflix?

Isn’t part of the beauty of Netflix not having to think about it and simply pressing “continue watching”?

Well, say goodbye to the “chill” part of Netflix & chill after this thief stops by.

We don’t even want to know how long it would take us to figure out that someone had stolen the bottom of the lotion pump, especially if they left the top on there.

We’d be pumping away to no avail without realizing there was nothing there to deliver the product from the bottle to the pump.

Well that’s quite a welcome home. No water for you!

We’re starting to wander out of minor inconvenience territory with this one. Buying and replacing all of your faucet handles is a major pain!

Someone’s gone overboard!

Let’s get this straight: no TV, no ability to charge your phone, your bathroom gets wet when you shower, AND your food has all spoiled.

Wouldn’t you just rather someone grabbed some cash and took off?

Ok, we can live without the first three (though we’d be annoyed) but taking the knobs on the stove is just low.

That stuff is hard to replace and we don’t want to see anyone using pliers in the meantime!

Just take the Tupperware lids already! We don’t want to see how much leveling we’d have to do if someone cut our table and chair legs.

That’s next level nasty.

Apparently, quite a few people aren’t willing to steal but they are willing to mess with someone until they go insane.

What do you even do when you come home to find your house babyproofed?

How do you think that police report is going to go over?

We all like our space, whether it’s physical, mental, or electronic.

You could still use the space bar if someone stole the key, but you’d have to type a lot slower to make sure you hit the right place each time.

This is the kind of thing you don’t know you’re missing until you really need it.

Of course, you can grab some dish towels, but nothing works as well as an oven mitt.

We’re crying foul on this one for the sick burn.

Not content to just steal the ink from the printer, this sinister thief is taking it from the pens too.

Enjoy signing that check in lipstick.

Then again, it might save a lot of paper!

Not only does this guy want to ruin your morning shower unexpectedly, but he wants to rob you of your breakfast as well.

That’s a recipe for one seriously bad morning.

Just steal our wallet already! Geez.

Now we’re left hanging when we go to triumphantly start the final book in a series, getting poked in the face with pillow feathers, hurting ourselves trying to cut up the ingredients for dinner, and convinced we’re seeing crooked half the time.

We’d pay for this person not to come into our home.

So this robber wants to take your bathroom implements AND let you go mashed potato-less as well.

Enjoy your dirty hair, dry lips, sharp nails, messy hair, and baked potato.

Twitter thieves really like to see people wobble on their chairs. And they have no respect for hardwood floors.

Anyone who thinks this is a slight inconvenience has never had to pay to get their floors refinished.

Oh, c’mon! Just steal the ice already. This is going too far.

Can you imagine making the perfect drink only to have it come out tasting like hot dogs when you plopped in that ice cube?

Eww!

This really is a slight inconvenience, but we’d likely spend some time wondering where all those twist ties went.

And we might spend an embarrassing amount of time wondering if our cat managed to develop opposable thumbs so they could steal and play with them.

Guess you’ll be ordering in after this thief hits your home.

Then again, the cheesy card might make us lose our appetite.

This person’s demented ambitions are a great way to ruin someone’s day.

How long do you think you’d spend looking for the first two items? And the lightbulb above the stove is one of those things that just never gets replaced.

We’ve gone beyond stove knobs here to ensure you’re not twisting or pulling open anything at all in your home.

Have fun at the hardware store after this.

At least you’ll get some redecorating out of it all.

We can only hope we’d notice this before using a cotton swab with a blunt end.

That’s a harsh move. We’d rather give up the whole box of Q-tips.

Losing your remote sucks, but having your channels change unexpectedly is just weird.

While someone’s getting a good laugh out of it all, we’d probably have to give up TV for a while.

Good thing they didn’t want to steal the book collection as well.

Ugggggh. We can just picture going to make that smoothie or milkshake with all the ingredients ready only to find our blender missing its lid.

How long do you think you’d spend looking for it?

Or, worse yet, would you try to come up with a hairbrained scheme to try to use something else in its place? (Note: that ALWAYS leads to disaster.)

We’d be leading that slip-on life for a while if we were forced to replace all the laces in ALL of our shoes.

It’s mentally exhausting just to think about all the size and color matching involved.

Maybe this is one reason to have fewer shoes.

…Nah.

While dozens of people suggested taking all of the toilet paper, this evil genius knows the very definition of “slightly inconvenience.”

This might be our favorite idea for the sheer confusion and exasperation it would cause.

People really love their lids.

Did you ever realize how helpless you’d be without them?

What a pain to come home to a bunch of dried out condiments and have to unwrap the airtight cling wrap you’d need to use to seal them up.

Well that just ain’t right. This thief is just going to steal the best part of the coffee – the caffeine!

Would we be energetic enough to get mad about it once we figured it out?

Probably not.

Have fun relaxing in a house full of furniture with no cushions after this thief hits your home.

This is more than a minor inconvenience though! It’s an expensive fix!

Most people need a Sharpie only every now and then and can’t find one at the right time anyway.

But we think it’s extra diabolical to leave the Sharpies behind and just steal the caps, as one commenter suggested.

Then again, you know someone in the house is getting blamed for that.

There are enough ill-thought-out videos on YouTube showing people how to open wine bottles without an opener to prove that people get stuck in this situation fairly often.

No one likes that helpless feeling of having a great bottle of wine trapped inside a bottle they can’t open!

Just head to the store and replace it though – don’t play with knives and fire!

While not quite as sinister as stealing all of the labels off of the cans, this one will really throw you for a loop.

Wwe can always keep an eye on those french fries until they’re done, but how are we supposed to know how much liquid to add to our stovetop concoctions?!

What?! No!

We’d laugh. We’re cry. We’d head to the hardware store immediately.

We can already picture someone trying to rig up a new oven rack using something that will inevitably melt. Bad idea.

But honestly, we’d be happy to have someone take our oven racks when they’re at their dirtiest. Then we don’t have to feel bad about buying new ones instead of cleaning them!

Not only is a laptop charger expensive to replace, but you know you’d be looking for it everywhere if it were the only thing to go missing in your home.

How infuriated would you let yourself get until you just broke down and bought a new one? (We guess that would depend on how much juice is left in your machine.)

So much for soup time after this criminal hits your silverware drawer!

Meanwhile, they’ll be at home laughing and picturing you trying to eat your cereal with a fork.

Cruel!

The cap and lid obsession continues.

On the one hand, it’s nothing a little cling wrap or foil can’t solve.

On the other hand, we’d be furious about not being able to store these upside-down in order to get the most product out.

It’s pretty sneaky to steal all the large towels and force someone who is all wet and chilly to have to dry off with only the hand towels you left behind.

This person knows from experience just how frustrating it can be.

And then what do you do about drying long hair?!

Some people can eyeball the measurements while cooking, but for those of us who are nervous in the kitchen, we really need those measurings cups.

And they’re always the last thing we reach for just as soon as we need them.

This thief is not just stealing the cups, but that speacial treat we needed them to make!

We never really thought about what we’d do if someone stole every drinking vessel in the house.

It would certainly feel silly to drink out of bowls.

What would you substitute until you could get more? Plant vases? Your hands?

Most of the time you could drink straight from the bottle, but what do you do with the tap water?

Here’s another commenter who draws the line at stealing but is perfectly willing to torture someone.

How long would it take you to lace the last half of all of your shoes without the plastic cap that helps glide it through the hole?

And how angry would you get while doing it?

Not everyone likes salt, but it can be important for cooking.

And for salt lovers, we can picture a frustrating day or two as you’re forced to eat all of your food without seasoning.

On the bright side, it’s cheap to replace and going without might help bring down your sodium levels!

We’re perfectly capable of committing this act of thievery ourselves.

We’d be pretty bummed to open our Lucky Charms and see the best part missing.

Imagine if you lived alone and this happened – would you assume you were sleep eating?

That’s just cold.

It would probably take months for us to realize we were missing the lid to our roasting pan or our largest piece of bakeware.

And by that time we’d would assume it still had to be somewhere and would waste precious prep time tearing apart the kitchen looking for it.

Damn, some people are really evil!

All this person wants is a sliver of your left shoe heel.

But the price you’ll pay is a lot higher when your back starts to ache.

We’d notice this immediately but would be left mightily confused at who would steal only those.

Talk about a way to raise stress levels!

Plenty of people still have one analog clock in thier house.

We’re honestly not sure which hand is more inconvenient to lose. At least the loss of the long hand could only make you up to an hour late.

Proving there are more insidious ways to make someone suffer, this commenter isn’t going to take your stuff. They’re simply going to maim you by leaving Legos on your floor.

As you wander around wondering who has been in your house and what they might have taken, you’ll get a terrible surprise with every step.

We’re going to call that a major inconvenience.

Not only is your Wifi unavailable now but you get to wait for the Internet company to send you a new device and then change the password on all of your connected devices.

Fun.

Some of these have been mentioned before, but we’re trying to picture our reaction to slowly finding each item missing.

It would take a while to figure it all out and by that time we’d assume we were just going insane.

And, really? The last chapters from our books? That’s like stealing victory right from our hands!

For some reason, this one strikes us as the most annoying.

Now your shoes are going to be smelly and uncomfortable and your makeup won’t go on correctly.

Lame.
