Little acts of rebellion

I have been on MN a long time. Anyone else remember a thread like this one about acts of revenge/ rebellion and one of the horrible, 'it's such a laugh' contributions was from a poster who was annoyed by her neighbour's dog. Next time she went on a long journey, she kidnapped the dog and let it out of her car twenty miles down the motorway. She was laughing so hard at her little act of rebellion that she didn't reveal whether the dog had been killed on the motorway.
I really hate spitefulness and cruelty in any form. Some posters think it is such a laugh. It makes me upset.
Anyone else remember the very sad dog story?

He was bloody annoyed at the price 😂I remember it even now - and his glee at getting them back. Same as your friend.

I used to work as a translator for a company that was most poorly-run place ever, to the point of being criminal (loads of employees sued and even denounced them to the authorities). They were awful.

My tiny revenge was sprinkling my translations with words or phrases that were 100% correct, but would sound a little bit naff or dated to native ears. Ridiculous I know. No one ever read my language anyways, they just had to have it as a formality.

Some uptight types in here tonight OP. 🤷

I do the coffee/tea teaspoon thing for those who JUST KNOW and can taste it, idiots.
Also make a brew in what ever order is most convenient, if that's milk then water and a tea bag thrown in in top, so what. Squeeze the bag enough, perfect brew. Again, no one ever knows or can tell the difference 🤷

If I can get away with it, in Supermarkets/Spar etc I turn a whole pile of The Sun over so they can't be seen. If a few less are sold that day, job done 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣😭 I needed that

If dh annoys me I give him a pink pillowcase. Not that he's ever noticed.
I did also once move a book by OJ(autobiography?) to the bottom shelf behind lots of other books in a bookshop somewhere because I can't stand him.

Apologies.. ‘a day or two.’

I loved Minimilli's post. Really made me smile. It reminds me of when my ex used to leave dirty socks on the floor rather than the laundry basket. I used to put them in various places to annoy him - jacket pockets and hoods, stuffed in toe of shoes, in his briefcase (he discovered that pair while talking to the bank manager about a loan), inside his guitar and clarinet. I used to snigger to myself doing it.

About 50 years ago my dad and I stopped at a motorway station for a cup of tea. He was so annoyed at the price he stole the small teapot.

In a house share I lived in, I was the only one who ever put the bins out. I would frequently have weekends away, would come back to an overflowing bin/pushed down bin that had been ignored by everyone. They clearly saw it as not their job to deal with.

My small act of rebellion was when I left this house share, I bought the cheapest crappiest bin bags I could find and left them in the cupboard. House mates later complained about them so I know they really hated all the subsequent bin changes they had to do 😂 #sorrynotsorry

😂

Posts on here have suggested it as well as real life examples. WFH folk will never admit it which explains the vitriol when it’s suggested that they spend an a tea day or two in the workplace.

Who does that though? I wfh and do my hours (actually I do more as I start an hour earlier cause I can as I am not commuting). As do 99% of fellow wfh-ers. Just cause you are not able to wfh, no need to tar us all with your cheating standards.

Did you use all the acronyms?

You AND your friend need a lifelong prison sentence! @crochetmonkey74

Disgraceful human beings. How can you look yourselves in the mirror?!

#kidding 😂

As for me, I have quite a number of little acts of rebellion stories, but I'm a bit too shy/not brave enough to post them on here.

Nice reading others though!

😬

I went in insert supermarket name a couple of weeks back. Used scan and shop. Filled 2 large bags. Went to complete the purchase, pointed the scanner at the machine and stood there for ages waiting for it to load. It wouldn't load so I alerted the assistant. She strolled over, faffed about for a few minutes, called another assistant over who announced that they have been having issues with scan and shop for a couple of weeks and I would have to rescan all my shopping again. No apology, just walked away. So one by one, I took my items out of my bags and scanned them. Part way through the second bag I got fed up and just paid for what I had scanned , repacked the stuff and buggered off. I got about 10 quids of stuff for free. I'm not sorry, don't care if its theft. If they had known about the issues for 2 weeks they should have got the IT engineers to fix it

If you have never been self-employed, then I understand you don't get it... but no small business over charges deliberately or otherwise.
Support them wholeheartedly, or do not go there. Either way, please don't make life harder for them if you disagree with their prices.

It's hardly the crime of the century nicking one little loo roll!

Happened to someone I know recently- they wanted a plant for the front of the house, got outraged at the garden centre when it was priced at multiple hundred of pounds and they swapped the price tag with cheaper version of the same plant, which was smaller and more sickly looking. ‘It’s just a plant, the world has gotten mad!’

Some right miseries on here tonight op

A thrice licked teaspoon....there's a thing. I used to have to make tea for someone who hated coffee and claimed they could taste coffee if you used the same teaspoon to remove the teabag after putting coffee in. Obviously that's exactly how I did it every time. And as for the lady who insisted her coffee mate and coffee were mixed before the water was added....!
People are funny creatures.

To all these sanctimonious people claiming 'theft!' And 'think of the poor staff!' ... are you WFHers who steal time from your employers/customers to nip off to do your shopping/laundry/pick the kids up/go to the gym/ take up tables at the library or coffee shop?
