AITA for emptying the chest freezer after finding out my BIL was selling food out of it?
I have a chest freezer in my garage that I've had about six years. Back in spring my brother in law asked if he could keep a few things in it because theirs had died and they were waiting to replace it. I said yes, there was space.
I only go out there every couple of weeks. Over the summer my own stuff got harder and harder to find, and then last week I went out for a bag of chips and the whole thing was full of identical foil trays, stacked and labelled with dates and initials on masking tape.
He's been running a meal prep business out of it. He sells to about fifteen people through a Facebook group. There were somewhere around NINETY trays in there and my own food was in a carrier bag at the bottom underneath all of it.
I didn't ring him. I took every tray out, put the lot in the wheelie bin, and messaged him afterwards to say the freezer isn't available any more.
He says that was three hundred and fifty pounds of stock and two full weekends of cooking, and that "you could have just asked me to move it." My wife thinks he's right about that part and that I've made Christmas awkward over something one phone call would have sorted. I think if he'd told me in spring what he was actually planning I'd have said no.
AITA?
TLDR: brother in law asked to store a few things in my chest freezer, turned out he was running a meal prep business out of it, and I binned about ninety trays without warning him first.
