'I thought my husband stole my juice - then we checked our cameras and learned the truth'

Sheridan Hockley had been down with the flu and a chest infection, and claimed the orange juice was the only thing she could drink while she recovered from her sickness

A mum who thought her husband drank her orange juice - the only drink she could consume postpartum while recovering from the flu - was staggered to find a tradesperson had nicked the bottle.

Sheridan Hockley only discovered the truth when she saw doorbell camera footage of the man swiping the two-litre bottle and leaving the home, having worked on the windows. But Sheridan had already raged at her husband Jay because the drink was helping her recover from the flu and a chest infection.

Following an argument, the new mum skimmed the doorbell footage to find the tradesperson leave the apartment in Edinburgh with the juice. Sheridan, an Australian living in the UK, has shared her story on a podcast, following which other people expressed their frustration at difficulties they've encountered with tradespeople at their homes.

Brittany, Sheridan's sister, also spoke in the podcast. She said: "Sheridan went back to her husband Jay absolutely raging. She was hormone-filled, sick, and wanted juice."

"I cannot believe you drank my juice," Sheridan spat out. "You know I am here, struggling to stay alive, and you've drunk the one thing that I can consume." The couple argued about it but Jay insisted he never touched the juice.

And the footage captured the truth, to both Sheridan and Jay's shock. Brittany added: "He didn't just drink it - he went into their fridge, took the juice, and then left the house with this bottle of juice."

A co-host on the podcast, called Life Uncut, said: "You're allowed to go and get a drink as a tradie but you're not allowed to do your shopping out of their fridge."

Among the other stories left as comments under the podcast, or featured in it, were tales about a housekeeper pinching a candle from a property and one tradesperson doing his washing at a customer's house. One person said: "I'll always remember coming home from school one day and the cleaner was throwing a pool party in the backyard with her mates."
