What little acts of rebellion or activism do you do?

[Steelworks]

I’m not talking about going on marches, but minor things, that you know about.

Mine is I won’t play Michael Jackson songs, after all the alleged behaviour, which certainly wouldn’t be accepted by today’s standards.

The second is I won’t buy McCain products, after they put out an advert for Smileys, which referred to ‘knocker’s’ in them. I thought that language had died out in the seventies.

My partner laughs at me as I always call myself “a friend of the bus” and always stop to let them out if I can 🤣

As much as I do it to be nice (and because they’re carrying much more people than my car) it does also work both ways as I’ve had a few friendly bus drivers spot me waiting and let me out! I live in a very rural area so I assume they must recognise the friendly cars 😅

I block every single page or advert on FB that doesn't interest me because it's become basically just a site of advertising and I am annoyed that I barely get to see updates from my actual friends/family

I know that there are hundreds of millions of this junk on there so I'll never achieve anything but it makes me feel better somehow

I have to send letters out in my job. I always put the woman's name first, then their partners. Childish I know, oh well 😅

Deliberately park next to cars that are partly in the space I want - even if there are no other cars in the car-park. I also always position myself (either driving or forward) so that my passenger side is on their drivers side. Means they can't get in other than climbing over the passenger seat or going through the boot.

Sometimes, if there's a coffee shop nearby and parking is only for 30 minutes or so, I'll buy a coffee and sit outside the shop and watch until they come back.

Wtf 🤣🤣🤣

Second this.

It's true.
I was spoken to.
Though I didn't care. Its not my fault if their rules are so open to interpretation. 🤣

I don’t mask or people please anymore. It’s a blessed relief and I feel so much more confident.

Ryan air - yesterday I put my hand luggage in the sizing basket and it fitted but they said it was bending the metal by a couple cm and charged me 70 pounds.

Once landed at Salzburg airport, people were starting to disembark and I politely asked to used the loo and they refused due to “refueling”. None in sight.

I don’t need this level of nastiness in my life. Obvious antipathy towards the customers.

Hope that karma bites them on the ass!

That’s true. No one needs a reminder of Emma Watson’s year 6 school play enunciation.

I’m guessing you are joking about the connection between HP and Strike, yes?

I enter via the exit in certain supermarkets and attempt to exit without scanning my receipt, where possible.I object to being herded like cattle in supermarkets via their barriers . I am not a shoplifter !

Wtf, what is wrong with you? You know that people might park a bit funny because they need to get infirm older adult passengers or small children out or they simply need more space due to crappy knees that don’t bend as well as they used to? Who made you boss of the car park?

Well they don't work for a bank any more, and just as well. That kind of behaviour is likely to result in the ability of customer services assistants to compensate customers where they've been let down being removed to a higher authority, and everyone is worse off.

I get thoroughly peed off with the so often expressed opinion that because organisation are big and make a lot of profit that there's no victim if people steal from it. What that customer service agent did was little diffeent from someone on the till at Tesco passing items through unscanned.

It is the Give Women vote colours, now womens rights.

What's all this about exiting supermarkets with a receipt? I've never seen this! What if you didn't buy anything??

I like to put Julie Bindel's books in front of Shon Faye's or whatever he's called.

Absolutely. I completely agree 👍

How about Iran instead? Lovely holiday destination 😂

Well clearly you don't rebel against anything.
Which is not in the spirit of this thread.
So. Not sure what you were really expecting

In some sainsbury stores, to leave the self service area, which is now gated, you have to scan your receipt to prove you aren't a thief.

Oh my love you need to get some positivity in your life 😂

...plus Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, etc etc.

Love this!

I refused to put my pronouns on my work email and I wouldn't give my pronouns to put on my new name badge. It's obvious I'm a woman and I have a woman's name. I worked in a university so it didn't go down well so I told them not to be so ridiculous

Well yes because I think it's a shame! I have a friend who is always stressed because she burdens herself with the notion that the world gives a fuck about her futile acts of defiance. She absolutely exhausts herself with conscientious choices and none of it makes any difference.

The secret to happiness is knowing what you can influence and what you can't. The world will never match your ideals of how it should look. Get over it 😁
