I’ve had it with my mom and sister, Chloe, snooping through my packages. After their house fire, they moved in with me, and despite my requests for privacy, they kept invading my space. I decided it was time to teach them a lesson.

One day, after receiving a package, Mom and Chloe entered the room, curiosity evident in their eyes. “What did you get?” Mom asked. I told them to respect my privacy, but they shrugged it off, promising to try harder.

Later that day, I found an opened package on my bed—my fiancé’s expensive cologne. I called for them, and when they appeared, guilt was written all over their faces. They claimed they were just curious, but my frustration boiled over.

That night, I planned my revenge. I prepared three special packages filled with items to surprise and confuse them. The first two packages arrived, and I noticed they’d been opened and repacked. The house felt unusually tense.

The third package arrived the next day, designed to scare them. When Mom called me at work, her voice shook. “Are you planning to do something to us?” I savored her fear.

When I got home, Mom and Chloe looked anxious. “What’s wrong?” I feigned innocence, enjoying their unease. Chloe held up items from the package: handcuffs, tape, and a book titled “How to Get Rid of People Who Open Your Packages.”

I laughed, breaking the tension. “It’s just a joke! I needed to get your attention about respecting my privacy.” They looked shocked but soon understood.

“I ordered that book to highlight your bad habits,” I said. “If you’d respected my boundaries, we wouldn’t be in this situation!”

They apologized, and for the first time, I sensed genuine remorse. I emphasized that my room and packages were off-limits, and they agreed to respect my space.

From that day on, my packages remained untouched, and the atmosphere in the house improved significantly. Sometimes, it takes a little creativity to teach a lesson. My mom and sister learned the hard way that snooping has consequences, and I finally got the privacy I deserved.
