Harmless little acts of rebellion

[KungFuPandaWorks]

This is completely LIGHTHEARTED.

My husband absolutely cannot stand Cardi B at all. If she comes on the radio he will switch off, if her songs on the TV he will exit the room or change the channel. Now I don't think she's amazing but, I must admit she has some catchy songs.

My little act of rebellion is when I'm in the car alone, if Cardi B comes on the radio I will turn it up extremely loud and sing my heart out, even giving the woman herself a run for her money.

What are you little acts of rebellion?

SIL and her husband insist that they will only drink certain drinks - she will only drink Bombay Sapphire gin NOT Gordon's or any other and he a specific wine.

I've had great pleasure serving them Aldi's own gin and wine whilst pretending that it's their favourites. Surprise surprise they can't tell.

And no, they're not polite enough to notice and not say anything. If they did I'd be asked something along the lines of 'ugh, what muck is this?!'

At self-service tills, I always make a point of pressing the 'OWN BAGS' button... and then proceed to steal a bag

I save up all my printing to do at work. #rebeltillIdie

Approaching speed cameras and giving them the finger, below dashboard level.

I totally forgot my dh works in a big law firm and sometimes he puts a reference in correspondence like “your ref:gfy” gfy stands for go fuck. Yourself

'I once had to sit under a noisy aircon unit at work.
I got so fucked off with every single fucker passing saying shit like "isn't that noisy - have you reported it to building services?" that I created a leaflet entitled "The Noisy Aircon unit - your questions answered" and had it in a little dispenser on my desk. '

Changing loo roll person here too
And graffiti grammar adjustments to signs - usually only apostrophes
I so want to adjust some letters though

Because my husband always promised to not be out all day whilst fishing with a friend but always did I retaliated by deleting all fishing locations from his satnav as he never knows his way to anywhere without it 😏

I never snap Kit Kats into fingers, I bite into them like they are any other chocolate bar

I have reported this post. It’s unacceptable.*

Some twattish drivers leave unfeasibly huge gaps between them and the car in front, when in a crawling / stopping line, to make some sort of passive aggressive little point. I take great pleasure in zipping around then and into the gap (when safe to do so, of course). By God it feels good.

You mean, when people leave an appropriate amount of space between them and the car in front?

Years ago I used to work in a bank and had to pay through to nose to park in the council car park nearby. One of my mundane tasks as a bank cashier was to empty all the large cloth bags of coin delivered and count into the small plastic ones. We had to separate out any foreign coins we found, and this included Channel Islands ones, which were identical in every way to British coins except they weren't legal tender. They were dumped in a tin under the counter, and left abandoned as we couldn't do anything with them.

One or two of the staff collected foreign coins as a hobby, and used to go through the tin every so often. I decided to collect Channel Islands ones.

They worked a treat in the car park machines. I had a never-ending supply, because the council paid their takings into the bank...

@sashh

I have ordered

Mark Thomas' book 100 ACTS OF MINOR DISSENT

Just the thing for a friend of mine !

I do this. I mentioned it on here once and someone gave me a snippy reply telling me off, saying how dangerous it is. 🤷

Thank you YaySeptember. I appear to have one of those snippy replies already!

Some forms offer a lovely list of titles to choose from, so I have a
Co-Op card in the name Sister Shoutymomma and a Debenhams card in the name Captain Shoutymomma.

I've occasionally vaulted the barriers at train station loos to save 30p, but can't think of much else. Taking notes on this thread...

When I resigned from an exceedingly shitty job with an exceedingly shitty manager I changed just one digit of about 50% of the telephone numbers in the online directory for our clients that she would now be responsible for calling instead of me.

When at a course / meeting lasting more than 1 day, where you're seated at tables (and most people sit in the same seat at the same table on the second day), I'm the cunt who sits deliberately at a different table on day 2. I even come in early to do so, even though I'd normally be bang on time...

Montana - 'vaulting' over anything is very impressiveyou deserve the 30p freebie at the very least!

I think I read on here once that someone got revenge on an inconsiderate driver parked on the pavement, by smearing a glob of Vaseline under the door handle. Saving that one up...

When my mother visits I always give her a cup of tea in a cup with a Welsh dragon on it. It's not because she's Welsh.

Mother87 thanks! Probably didn't look as athletic as it sounds though

KindleandCake I lol-ed at that excellent work

Anything against my mothers advice. She suggests I do X. I do Y, even if X is probably the better way. I'm 40 I don't have to do as I'm told.

In regards to driving the wrong way round a car park. Recently I was driving down the wrong way in a quiet car park. All of a sudden a car appeared from nowhere (we were both in the wrong as she was driving well over the speed limit that I was sticking to). I am now waiting for money from my insurance company as my car is written off. It has been rather stressful. Although I must admit it is the best possible outcome.

Regarding pegs. Think it was on here that I read that apparently pegs have to match and some people actively find colours that match the item they are hanging up. I actively search for completely different pegs. Not just colours, but pegs from different packets.

Not really an act of rebellion as such, but me and my 2 colleagues on my team are contracted to start at 7AM. I usually roll into work about 6:45-6:50 and you can guarantee that the other 2 on my team will be there working away dealing with the emails etc. I, however, will do anything else until 7AM. Look at the weather, read the news etc. I can feel them getting annoyed that I am not getting into my work 10 mins early like they do.

Need to do more of these suggested.

I have a boss who will talk over you and try and finish your sentence. This drives me ballistic as well as a hundred other things -stupid fluttering eyelash brigade moron that she is so every time she starts to do it, I stop, stare at her and say ‘no actually’ and change the end of the sentence 😂
