Kidnapping George Clooney

SmileEachDay · 15/05/2018 20:20

TERFing.

Literal violence.

Sundance65 · 15/05/2018 20:51

Just asked them and all said immediately........drunk and disorderly......

mostdays · 15/05/2018 20:53

Something involving me losing my temper spectacularly.

BitchQueen90 · 15/05/2018 20:57

Drunk and disorderly definitely. I'm way too mellow for them to ever think assault or anything similar. I do like a good drinking session when I have the opportunity.

Whatififall · 15/05/2018 20:57

Murder of my exh.

Some sort of driving offence as my poor driving skills cause great hilarity to my family. (Not dangerous, just no spatial awareness so regularly hit walls when parking etc)

stressedoutpa · 15/05/2018 20:58

Stabbed my boss Grin

mumonashoestring · 15/05/2018 20:58

DH would apparently assume I'd given a police officer a bollocking piece of my mind. Can't imagine why Grin

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 15/05/2018 20:59

Shoplifting Blush

IJustHadToNameChange · 15/05/2018 21:00

They'd be speechless. They'd be stunned and wondering if there was some sort of mistake.

Cocolepew · 15/05/2018 21:03

Assault.
Or burying MIL under the patio .

jamoncrumpets · 15/05/2018 21:04

Driving offends

stayingaliveisawayoflife · 15/05/2018 21:05

Probably something after being kettled at a march or demo!!!

Lobsterquadrille2 · 15/05/2018 21:06

Also criminal damage. My lawyer sister once accused me of this when my wait in A&E was considerably worsened by sitting in front of a sign "Women's and Childrens Ward". I waited until she'd gone to the toilet and stuck the apostrophe in with my eyeliner Smile

NoodlesLivesHere · 15/05/2018 21:10

Assaulting an arsehole driver that has cut me up but actually caused an accident instead of my driving preventing it like normal

In unrelated news I have a fully functioning invisibility cloak for my car when it's in motion, free to the person who can remove it Grin

StillMedusa · 15/05/2018 21:11

Criminal damage ..like an above poster, I have been known to take a marker pen to badly written signs!!!
(I will ask my DD2 what she thinks I would have done when she gets in!!)

TheClitterati · 15/05/2018 21:12

Civil disobedience.

Grin
hunterbear · 15/05/2018 21:13

Stolen some Chanel

annandale · 15/05/2018 21:16

Shoplifting, but they would assume that I'd just forgotten to pay.

It's possible that at the moment they would think I'd gone off on some grief-fuelled rampage like in the movies. Lethal Weapon stylee. They would soon realise it was unlikely though.

Oldbutstillgotit · 15/05/2018 21:37

Very slowly killing DD’s abusive ex . Would want him to suffer the way DD and DGS did. Pretty sure they would all be outside with placards insisting it was justified. One day .....

mavismcruet · 15/05/2018 21:40

Mum - tax fraud or money laundering
Dad - mistaken identity/wrongful arrest

They have vastly different opinions about me Grin

Giggorata · 15/05/2018 21:51

Murder (I have a list)
Some kind of criminal damage/civil disobedience
Trespass.
Speeding,

blueskyinmarch · 15/05/2018 21:52

Smacking my brother round the head for being a dick.

AwkwardSquad · 15/05/2018 21:56

Political protest or assaulting a pavement cyclist

cjferg · 15/05/2018 21:56

Probably drugs...
