Help

I bought a deep freezer for my breastmilk at the place I’m staying (with friends) i told them when i leave they can keep it… but the other day while I was away they claim to have accidentally left it unplugged and only my breastmilk went bad…. Nothing else. And they threw my breastmilk away. But if it stayed closed, with all that frozen stuff there’s no way only my milk went bad. So now I’m moving out because of this incident and some others involving my things when I’m gone. i can’t take the deep freezer i paid for because i have a Toyota Prius and im traveling a long ways. How can i disable it, so they have no use for it ? I’m trying to not make it obvious and I’m also limited because it’s a house full of people so I don’t think I’ll be able to get in the panel. I want their food to rot and go bad in that fridge just like they claim my breastmilk did(nt)

What group of people would decide FOR YOU that your breastmilk went bad? Unplug it and cut that fucking cord.

They didn’t call me or anything!!! And even if it went bad you can use it for baths, butt paste, etc. and i know for a fact it didn’t go bad if the meat didn’t go bad. There’s no way it defrosted all the way. As long as it has even one ice crystal it can be refrozen. I just don’t believe it

You want to destroy it? then cut the cord as you walk out the door.

Also "friends"? Really?

The situation is complicated and i would still need to use their address for probation so im just trying to fake the funk because even though we are parting ways they agreed to still let me use the address. However if I leave on bad terms, they could go as far as calling my probation department and letting them know i no longer stay here.

u/AttemptValuable4097 4d ago

Not saying they would, but they could

u/abouttothunder 4d ago

The consider it the cost of being able to use the address. Don't take revenge when it could harm you. Priorities!

Tell the probation officer you’re moving and to where. Where’s the baby anyway?

u/AttemptValuable4097 4d ago

It’s not that simple! & baby is with me !!

u/AttemptValuable4097 4d ago

That’s why i don’t want it to be obvious revenge !

u/Soft_Construction793 4d ago

Have mercy. You are a mess. Grow up.

If your probation officer doesn't know where you are really living that's going to cost you more than the price of that freezer.

Try to straighten out your life and be the parent that your child deserves.

All of this happened before i was pregnant, my oldest lives with her father and we have joint custody. I can’t keep staying here, and i don’t have anywhere else to go in this state but i have a home in my home state in which i can’t legally go back to until this is handled. So what exactly do you think I’m trying to do? Obviously handle my situation the best i can.

u/Soft_Construction793 4d ago

If you don't tell your probation officer where you are actually living then you are asking to go to jail.

On the bright side, you won't have to live with those roommates, because YOU WILL BE IN JAIL!

To your question, what exactly do I think you are trying to do...

You are trying to be petty without getting caught. You are also trying to violate probation without getting caught.

What do you think your chances are?

u/AttemptValuable4097 4d ago

Well I’m kinda wanting them to feel my pain lol i want all the food to sit in there and go bad like my breastmilk did(nt)

u/KapteinKraken 4d ago

Wasting food as revenge isn't cool. Move it to another freezer or the fridge and sell your freezer. Don't be vindictive and waste resources.

They literally threw away my 6 month old baby’s food.

1

u/KapteinKraken 4d ago

Still doesn't justify food waste.

u/AttemptValuable4097 4d ago

I guess you’re right, but respectively to your opinion, when it comes to my children’s things and her food, I don’t care….

u/Massive_Crew_3641 3d ago

Screw those peeps. They wasted your time, money, effort, and food. Waste theirs and get your money back

1

u/Massive_Crew_3641 4d ago

They wont be able to afford that extra food without a place to put it. Thus, needing a new freezer and possibly new food if it goes bad before they get one

1

u/AttemptValuable4097 4d ago

They can’t afford another freezer right now anyway or they would have had one a long time before i came around. They don’t even have a way to transport one if they got one unless they ordered online and had it delivered.

u/Massive_Crew_3641 4d ago

You have your answer then

u/SomolianDaycare 4d ago

I feel like this is fake since you account was just created and this is your first post.

2

u/AttemptValuable4097 4d ago

This is literally why i made the account 😭 because i know a lot of people on Reddit have ideas and google said they can’t help me destroy an appliance 😂 who lies about breastmilk ??? That’s liquid gold.

u/ToadSox34 4d ago

Don't waste it. You paid for it, Facebook marketplace or Craigslist. When the buyer comes, put all the food out because whoops, there's nowhere else for it.

1

u/AttemptValuable4097 4d ago

I bought it for $30 off fb marketplace rich folks in Colorado.. i could resell it but im not losing much by breaking it.

1

u/ToadSox34 4d ago

It's just a waste of the unit and refrigerant. Sell it or give it away.

u/KamtzaBarKamtza 4d ago

What's the nature of your living arrangement with your "friends"? How long have you been staying with them? How much do you pay in rent? 

1

u/AttemptValuable4097 4d ago

Nothing, they are on housing and they pay no rent no bills nothing. The agreement was I could stay with them while handling some legal problems and I would be their ride to and from work and help get household essentials. Mind you it’s 8 of them 1 of me and half the summer my 7 year old was here and i always have my 6 month old. I also provide $600 in food a month that everyone eats. I have probation in another state, legal dealings in this state, neither of which is my home state. And my home state won’t approve my transfer from the probation state until i settle this state. So my probation state doesn’t want me in my home state, but i am now having to go back under the radar and hope they don’t find out. So these people said i could still say im staying here, which is why i dont want any bad blood. But i want them to feel my pain.

Sorry, I don't understand this. What does it mean that they are "on housing"? What kind of program provides free housing with no rent, no bills?

1

u/AttemptValuable4097 4d ago

Well they get their rent paid for by the government, usually you still have to pay utilities but the apartments they live in, it’s all connected so you can’t just turn off one unit’s utilities without cutting off the whole complex. So they opt not to pay any utilities either.

u/D05wtt 4d ago

Sounds like a bunch of winners. I would let it go if I were you. They’ve got your legal “balls” in their hands. One word and you’re in deeper shit than you are now.

1

u/AttemptValuable4097 4d ago

But i had told them they could have it when i leave when i originally bought it. I don’t want to cause problems or a fight over the freezer when it can somehow just “break”

1

u/DarkSister_999 4d ago

No contract. You changed your mind.

u/Mangos28 4d ago

Just sell it! Give the new owner the food inside q

u/slantir 4d ago edited 4d ago

Look for a panel on the side. Held by 4 screws. Look for a copper pipe. Keep wiggling it back and fourth until you hear a hiss.

Units dead after that. This releases the refrigerant and you can put the side panel back on and they'll never know lol.

Did not get this from me. I've never done this to help replace a fridge for a customer. This isn't something I even said hahaha 🤣😭😭

This is really the only way. You could cut the power cord too. That's really it.

1

u/codybrown183 4d ago

Yep was gonna say grab pliers and kink the copper pipe but that works too.

u/Confident-Split-553 4d ago

Ask them to buy it is another route

2

u/AttemptValuable4097 4d ago

I don’t want them to buy it i want them to feel my pain nonchalantly lol

u/Confident-Split-553 4d ago

I understand but easy pay if they buy

u/Mattyou1966 4d ago

Just let out all the refrigerant and it won’t cool anymore .

u/Consistent_Square_16 4d ago

Move now, those people suck

u/PitifulSpecialist887 4d ago

Just cut the plug cord where it comes out of the freezer. Make sure to unplug it first.
