The world that we have built for ourselves is full of handy gadgets and products that we use to make our lives easier and more comfortable. Pretty cool, isn't it? Yet there is a downside to all this convenience. We have become so reliant on all these things in our day-to-day lives that if they were to be taken away from us, we would struggle to know how to live without them!

This tongue-in-cheek Twitter discussion, initiated by Yowie Wowie, hilariously sums up this situation by asking: “You are a burglar but instead of stealing things you do things that are mildly inconvenient to your victims. What are you stealing?”

From phone chargers to Tupperware, Wifi code stickers and toilet paper, these evil geniuses are determined to find people's weaknesses and exploit them to the maximum!

Scroll down below to see the hilarious thread for yourself, and feel free to come up with your own in the comments!

Yowie Wowie, whose real name is Keifer, is a New York-based Trinidadian who works as a musician. He really didn't expect his funny tweet to blow up like it did, and has enjoyed reading through the responses. "I was curious to see what other people would come up with," he told Bored Panda. "They were hilarious!"

Due to his love for music, Keifer told us that the item that he most dreads losing is his precious headphones. But what couldn't you live without? According to Bustle, a study was conducted by UK-based loan service 'Lending Stream' where nearly 2,000 British adults were asked to name the things in life whose lost would inconvenience them the most.

For men, the majority of them (40 percent) said their TV was the most important thing in their life, while nearly 50 percent of women said it was their toothbrush.

Things like shampoo, moisturizer, hair brushes, shower gel, and conditioner made the top 20 list of things women couldn’t live without, while things like going on a vacation, their sisters, their dads, and sex fell further down the list.

On the flipside, after television, 36.5 percent of men said they couldn’t live without their partners followed by their beds (35.5 percent) and their cars (32.5 percent).

The study also found that the average person would be willing to shell out more than £4,000 (about $6,250) so they wouldn’t have to live a year without their favorite thing. Who could go a whole year without brushing their teeth?

Chris deBoer, CEO of Lending Stream which carried out the study said: "This is a refreshing snapshot into the attitudes of people and how they choose to spend their money.

"Far from being extravagant with money, it is the simple things in life that they can't live without."

I would leave the adapters and just take all the cables they actually use and replace them with ones that won't fit.

If anyone ever steals your aglet (or it just falls off), make a new one out of tightly wrapped masking tape.

And put your drawstring in a straw to resting them or one of my favorites is to tape it to a chopstick and restring it. I’m a pro at this none of my sons waistlines ever fit because he’s too tall so I’ve had to personally string stuff for years.

You can also take a lighter to your shoelaces if your aglet is missing. Just spark it for a second or two until it begins to melt then blow out the flame and then squeeze it into shape with your fingers. Careful not to burn yourself.

But you have to super glue, or sew one end of the string on their hoodies so they can't fix it...ever...

Or if the aglets go, you can dip them in glue and let them harden. Agelet is a great words with friends word, when you only have vowels.😂😂

Meh, I have lived in many houses with range hoods and absolutely NONE of the lights ever worked. Now I know why, tut tut.

Ooh, what about those door stop things that keep door knobs from banging into walls? They probably wouldn't even notice til the first time it happens.

I would drill little holes in each spoon. So every time they eat with them they drip just a little and stain their clothes.

I would put clear nail polish over the deodorant. So every time they use it, it does not work. Its subtle but on a hot day it would be very noticeable. As for the toilet paper, switch it out for fast dissolving toilet paper.
