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.

but at the same time the govt also needs society to have more people ?

I used to turn carrier bags inside out for this reason 🤣
Maybe I should start doing it again.

Reminds me of when shops routinely used to plastic bag your purchases. I was a teen and as I always did, asked for no bag. I think this was in woolies. The jobsworth cashier told me I 'had to' have one so they could see I'd paid for my things. I took my stuff out, said 'that's what the receipt is for' and left their crappy bag sitting on the counter.

Are they feck.

Mind, nor are other methods of killing animals.

I still won't buy clothing brands that pulled the plug on overseas suppliers they had firm contracts with, but reneged on them when Covid hit, leaving thousands of small businesses in Asia in jeopardy. I prefer to deal with decent human bengs.

Could you name the clothing brands @GreenCandleWax
or alternatively name those that didn’t renege on the small businesses ?

Yes, that's correct. I hate shop assistants and have zero respect for them. In fact, I think I might just wander down to Waterstones now and tell them to fuck off.

It’ll be a tough decision for her so may I step in…? Natal.
Actually it’s only fair, if you do Natal I’ll go JNF.
I like this game

THIS for sure! Those gadgets are infuriating!

Yes for the purpose of the economy - they want people to work in certain jobs and also to pay tax. They don’t want an increase in population for shits and giggles.

If all the children went out and earned good money then great. But they appear content to just have more and more children of their own (not surprisingly).

Given how much they have already cost in education, healthcare, maternity etc, do you think they are ‘earning their keep’, let alone paying even a tiny percentage that they have already cost.

There’s a film coming out- heard it on the radio this morning, and it’s all about his genius!! 😲

Not necessarily. I once colluded with an assistant in a garden centre shop in hiding the chemical slug pellets. We both thought they are cruel, and he put the organic versions out prominently.

I don't get why trans girls don't just join mixed sex beavers/cubs/scouts. My girls are in these organisations and love it.

Feels like the parents are trying to make a point by enrolling them into an all girls organisation.

I buy cheap shit clothes from Temu on the basis that they last just as long as anything else (my clothes last decades years) and are much cheaper.

And then some other assistant has to put it back. Still pointless

In fact he probably had to do it himself after you left…

I met Trinny once. She was lovely!

Have you ever worked in a shop?

I have and it was boring AF.

I used to love it when the customers messed up the jumper display meaning I had to fold them up again and therefore had something better to do than stare at the wall for hours during quiet periods (mens clothes shop, week day shift).

I'd happily have put books back in their rightful place had i worked in a bookshop. I'd be secretly pleased that someone had interacted with them - it would make it all feel just a little less pointless.

I have worked in retail and people making unnecessary work pissed me off. Fair enough if you liked folding the jumpers or whatever.

And the posters on here who seem to think they are taking a stand… they really aren’t.

The teachers at DS's school are striking today. I am not letting him do the work set.

Im pretty p'd off they felt the need/were made to set work at all. It's an in-house issue that is very strike-worthy. I've also been quite vocal on the WA groups about refusing the work and have co-opted a few supporters.
