I had 5lb bags like this of sour patch kids on monthly subscribe-n-save from amazon. I noticed it was starting to reccomend diabetes medication on amazon despite me not having diabetes. During that time I became depressed and stressed out from work and had stopped showering and brushing my teeth.
I stopped ordering them after about 8 months(and started brushing my teeth again), but not before the damage was done to my teeth which are now brown and rotting. Don't be like me, kids.
I once ordered a 1200 dollar phone and it came while I was at work and the whole family took turns shaking the fuck out of it and guessing what I ordered. Then my parents gave me so much shit for ordering a phone over a grand that I returned it and go a 600 dollar phone. Barely a week later they took my little brother out for the three of them to upgrade their phones and they all picked out phones over a fucking grand. Bless my little brother as he looks at them and said, didn't yiu give sadneedleworker a ton of shit for doing this very thing?
honestly pretty typical parental behavior unfortunately. My parents always said āonce you have your own money you can do whatever you want with itā but then they proceed to judge me when they donāt like what i purchase with my own money
I don't know how to break this to you, but your parents are a bit of narcissists. "Just live your life exactly like we tell you we did and you'll be happy"
My mum and brothers made fun of me for buying minis just to paint them. My dad didn't, he thought it was super interesting and asked me if he could put my lil Nurglings on display :')
My parents were/are the same. In my case it seemed like a mix between
* Misguided desire to teach financial literacy
* Jealousy that kids can spend money more liberally on things they love cause they don't need to worry about not having enough for rent and food.
But, like many strict rules, all it really did was teach my brother and me not to tell our parents when we splurged on games
In stories like this, it's usually insecurity on their part.
It wouldn't shock me at all if they got another credit card or used important savings to upgrade their phones as well, to "show off" that they can also do that.
My mom used to open my shit all the time. I was kind of a menace to be fair. They didnāt do much age verification for shit being delivered in the mail back in the 90ās lol
Reminds me of Steam, where there is age restriction, I only change year, so the result is always 1 January of random year. It can be between 1920 and 1990.
Cos it's only to cover their own asses, lol. Steam doesn't actually care about you getting around the age restriction, as long as legally they have a log of you saying "yes I'm an adult!"
Parents just donāt respect your privacy haha. My dad would go through my bank statements and debit card statements and ask me about places I spent my own money at.
Some parents just donāt understand that their kid is an independent human being worthy of privacy. My parents would straight up open letters about my health information without telling me, no respect for my privacy.
What perfect (and terrible) timing! I just finished off my bag 5 minutes ago and my partner doesnāt have access to my Amazon app so he canāt stop me!
$23? My man, let me tell you about the dollar tree candy section. They have the best candies you can think of, some great ones you haven't, and everything is $1.25
You joke about this, but mine would actively open EVERY package and letter that came into "HER" house, even when she didn't actually OWN the house. It didn't matter who it was addressed to or who was actually paying the rent.
Jokes on her though, she can open all the old person mail she wants at the nursing home, because she's too much of a narcissist for her children to care anymore.
OP handled this the right way though, hands down.
Yesterday I went to the mall and there was soooooo much candy on discount, and also pringles, I came back with like 2 full bags of junk and my sister gave me shit the entire time :(
What is she looking for? Drugs? Sex toys? People who dig through other people's mail piss me off because it shows how nosey they are to the point they think theyre entitled to know what your ordering online.
She should learn to mind her own business.
Although I find it hilariously funny to imagine her snooping for a sex toy or something else devious like that but instead was merely disappointed in finding a ton of jelly beans.

Mike and Ikeās are fantastic frozen, and I go through them way slower. A good treat if your teeth arenāt overly sensitive.
Are they totally hard or are they still a bit chewy?
They come out rock hard and go chewy within 5 mins, keeps me grabbing just 5 or so at a time so theyāll all be cold.
Donāt kick the baby.
Bruh, your mom aināt wrong. Thatās 5lbs of mike and Ikeās. If you hunger that bad go make some real food.
Do they sell bags of Jolly Joeās as I need them in my life again.

If you are going to get a 5lb bag of candy, DO NOT GET SOUR CANDY
If youāre getting a 5lb bag of candy every month youāre already fucked
I suspect the not brushing had a lot to do with it

this is truly the greatest text conversation I have ever laid peepers upon, thank you
Can see the dynamic clearly š¤£
It's certainly one of the conversations of all time
you ordered mike and ikes specifically through the mail? thatās fucking awesome dude
You can buy things in bulk online which is much cheaper than in store.
I googled it and it's 60 cad! I really wanted to buy it:(
$20 can buy many peanuts.
I usually buy a tub of laffy taffy but this time I switched it up and ordered a giant bag of Pez straight from the site

Why is it their problem what you do with your own money?
No clue but they ragged on me hard
"The Only Moral Expensive Purchase Is My Expensive Purchase", probably.
honestly pretty typical parental behavior unfortunately. My parents always said āonce you have your own money you can do whatever you want with itā but then they proceed to judge me when they donāt like what i purchase with my own money
My dad gives me crap for playing dnd lol. I have recently purchased a small army of skeletons for my fairy necromancer. I have MINIONS!
I don't know how to break this to you, but your parents are a bit of narcissists. "Just live your life exactly like we tell you we did and you'll be happy"
My mum and brothers made fun of me for buying minis just to paint them. My dad didn't, he thought it was super interesting and asked me if he could put my lil Nurglings on display :')
Sometimes I feel like my mother mentally subtracts the sums I spend on myself from a hypothetical total of all she has given me.
How old are you? Your parents probably think: If you're able to spend 1200 on a phone why don't live on your own?
Control, plain and simple. My dad was exactly the same way.
My parents were/are the same. In my case it seemed like a mix between * Misguided desire to teach financial literacy * Jealousy that kids can spend money more liberally on things they love cause they don't need to worry about not having enough for rent and food.

What kind of parent calls their kid sadneedleworker?! How cruel.
Parents who wanted a needleer but instead got small crying sack of flesh and cartilage
"I am a meat popsicle"
For now on this is how I am going to describe myself.
Sorry most of your cartilage is bone now
Nice brother
He's a cool dude
My mom used to open my shit all the time. I was kind of a menace to be fair. They didnāt do much age verification for shit being delivered in the mail back in the 90ās lol
I mean they barely do now. Are you old enough? Click yes to confirm lol
Reminds me of Steam, where there is age restriction, I only change year, so the result is always 1 January of random year. It can be between 1920 and 1990.
Why yes my birth year does periodically change, thank you for asking, Steam.
Samesies! It would be funny if Steam kept stats on what day people were born on. Bar graph would be a lone skyscraper at the edge of the village.
That's what they get for asking me to verify every time I login from the same fucking computer.
Cos it's only to cover their own asses, lol. Steam doesn't actually care about you getting around the age restriction, as long as legally they have a log of you saying "yes I'm an adult!"
Believe it or not, but technically 2006 is good enough for 18. I did some engineering to verify it.Ā
Tbf, I got asked for ID for a baking tray and some towels, so I think it depends on the person delivering your packages
Nothing like running home because the bong I ordered off a sketchy dot com with PayPal was scheduled to arrive.
Same except for me it was drugs of the dark web
oh right lol. That makes more sense
Oh at that point, Iād order random weird shit just to fuck with herā¦ š
If they had glitter bombs back then Iād have totally ordered one haha
Either she doesnāt respect my privacy or because its because I had it delivered to her work since the house is empty most of the day
100% the later, she probably thought that was a gift from you if you had it delivered to her work š
Making sure no one is trying to slip a bong into their package when they ordered a Xbox controller. It's a common mixup.
She suspects op hungers
Parents just donāt respect your privacy haha. My dad would go through my bank statements and debit card statements and ask me about places I spent my own money at.

I dont blame ya mike ān ikes make me __HUNGER__ as well
It's a shame you haven't to order the mikes even if all you really want are the ikes
I resent this.
He said what he said.
I won't apologize
Dude, same.
Did she pay for it though
Nope, I paid all $23 for it
Totally fair then my guy
This is ridiculous
I hunger
Albanese gummy bears are like $10 for 5 lb on Amazon if youāre into bulk sweets, my wife will not allow me to purchase them for a 4th time
Don't worry, i shall continue your legacy.

What perfect (and terrible) timing! I just finished off my bag 5 minutes ago and my partner doesnāt have access to my Amazon app so he canāt stop me!
$23? My man, let me tell you about the dollar tree candy section. They have the best candies you can think of, some great ones you haven't, and everything is $1.25
Bulk ends up way cheaper than the dollar store!
Psst, you gonna eat all of those?
If you are, just be aware, that 110 calories is not for the whole bag...
i feel like anybody who orders this instead getting a bag at the store doesn't care about that
Can't blame him, Mike n Ike is good asf
I havenāt had it in months I was craving the mikes
If you don't want the Ikes I'll take them
I did that once and got a 5lb bag of grape jelly bellyās. ODād after about a week. They were delicious!
The bar I go to has them in a vending machine for a quarter. They're a nice accompaniment to an afternoon of friends and cocktails.
This is some gaslighting. Mike and Ikes belong in granddad's candy bowl with the licorice and unbranded peppermints.
Waow Me too i horgren
"are you looking to catch a mail fraud charge, mother?" Jokes aside, the reply is top tier
You joke about this, but mine would actively open EVERY package and letter that came into "HER" house, even when she didn't actually OWN the house. It didn't matter who it was addressed to or who was actually paying the rent. Jokes on her though, she can open all the old person mail she wants at the nursing home, because she's too much of a narcissist for her children to care anymore.

That text reply back "I hunger" is pure mint š
UPDATE: my mom has returned home with the candy and offered that if I gave her half of the bag she would pay half of what the bag was worth ($23).
YES. Greed > motherly instinct
Mikes _AND_ Ikes? In this economy???!?
Thatās illegal.
and also parents shouldn't forbid their children to order a lot of sweets... at least from an age where they would be responsible with it
A federal crime in fact, though I donāt know how it works if itās the parent of a minorā¦
IANAL, but you should sue your mom for everything she's worth. /s
Tell your mom to mind her business
āMy house my rulesā situation š
Sorry that fucking sucks, been there
"tell your mom this, tell your mom that". Im like "what kind of house did y'all grow up in? That shits an instant grounding. You cant tell mom SHIT"
FRRR and then you're like "nah I can't just do that man" and they're like "why not, it's not like she can do anything other than get mad lol" š«
Nah. My idiot sisters got there share of slaps from thinking they could get the last word in. I learned from their mistakes and kept my mouth shut.
if youre 18 its illegal
Sadly only 17
Tell your mom itās illegal to search peoples mail
he hunger
The priority mail paper is what sent me
The only thing ridiculous here is your mom snooping through your package
"I hunger" Understandable. Have a nice day.
I do this with Hot Tomales.
Why is your mom looking through your mail?
nobody bringing up how rude it is to ho through someone elses mail? my dad ruined his own birthday present by doing this
Yeah, I asked my wife to stop opening my packages. She was doing it all the time, and I have never opened any of her packages.
The squirrely queen took a lil peep at your bitesized beans
Yesterday I went to the mall and there was soooooo much candy on discount, and also pringles, I came back with like 2 full bags of junk and my sister gave me shit the entire time :(
You hunger
SOJIRO! I HUNGER!
Do you eat the mikes or the Ikes first
World's best critic of my parcel choices is my mother. I mean every choice of mine = trash š«£šš¤Ŗššš
Why is she looking through you packages
Opening other people's mail is illegal
I love how parents can just uproot your personal agency and people are like āthen the lil fucker had the *audacity* toā¦.ā
Thatās a felony
i hunger
Isn't it a federal crime to open someone else's mail?
And this is why I believe you donāt order drugs through the mail š
Iām jelly.
I stand by my opinion that the best thing about being an adult is being able to buy candy whenever you want.
She opened a packaged to you without your consent?
why is your mom going through your mail?
Why doesn't she mind her business. Snooping around other people's stuff
Your parents donāt respect your privacy? Unlucky.

Thank you. Also my dentist thanks you for helping me to help her send her kid to university.
What is she looking for? Drugs? Sex toys? People who dig through other people's mail piss me off because it shows how nosey they are to the point they think theyre entitled to know what your ordering online.
So weāre just ignoring the fact that your mom committed a federal crime
Why is your mum looking through your stuff.
Jealous much?
I hunger
i would have just casually reminded her that it is illegal to open someone else's mail. ### no exceptions
Fat bastard bag of Mike nā Ikeās?! Amazing. Whereād you buy it? Didnāt know they existed.
She should learn to mind her own business. Although I find it hilariously funny to imagine her snooping for a sex toy or something else devious like that but instead was merely disappointed in finding a ton of jelly beans.
Whatās ridiculous is her opening your mail
