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?

When I was pregnant with no.3 last year I deliberately hid or binned ALL the Bounty leaflets that littered the delivery suite waiting room. I had to be tested twice for GD whilst pregnant at the maternity unit and to occupy my hungry mind I took sweet revenge on the evil Bounty bods. Petty, yes. But worthwhile IMO.

I used to have to add ethnicity to people's details when they joined the register of customers where I worked. It was totally irrelevant and intrusive. It was a very long list, at the top was black African. Guess what.

37Nexa that reminds me of a hen party. All us ladies started the evening in the hotel bar with the music channel on the TV. ONE man comes in, sits at the bar and gets the bar tender to turn it off and put the football on. My friend had a TV remote app on her phone and turned it over from her bag. With a puzzled look he had to keep asking the guy behind the bar to keep turning it back and every time the football came on she switched it off 🤣

There are some great acts of some rebellion here , you lot are mad !

My own one , I use buses a lot a absolute min of 4 on a working day , If the drivers have driven nicely without slamming the brakes on accelerating hard waiting for people that are running to catch it etc I always than them as I am getting off, but If they have been an arse I DONT thank them .
That will show em !

When I was pregnant with my DD, my boss - who was a complete cow - told me I had to wear flat shoes for work because of health and safety.

I wore red high heels every day I was at work during my pregnancy, insisted on working right up to my due day (she tried to make me finish earlier) and walked into the labour suite at the hospital in my red high heels (I was in lab our at the time!).

Come on lets groove-on-down, catch the bus into
town I feel like ducking & a-diving I've had a
dreadful week, Oh God -look, it's that geek Old
misery who does the driving That driver's sitting
there, no teeth & greased-back hair A union jack
stuck on his briefcase If you give one loud cough,
he's sure to throw you off Deserves to taste
somebody's bootlace

Bus driver 7103 - Hot Dog! He's really got it in
for me.....Road Hog!
He's such a po-faced clown, he'll sulk and then
he'll frown Will not put up with any joking Drives
like a maniac, tears up all the tarmac Slams on
the brakes if someone's smoking

My DGM used to embarrass me with her casual racism towards my friends when I was a teen.
So I opened a picture of her & my Grandad, and replaced his face with a picture of Saddam Hussein.
It was up in her house for nearly 2 months before she noticed

When I am at the shops without my kids, I stand on the red ‘lava’ tiles.

I sometimes start arguments mostly about petty things whenever I feel mischievous. He had said to me the other day; "Oh I just fancy a cheese and bacon roll." to which I respond with; "It's a bread bun, not a roll." and things kind of went south from there.

After going back and forth for roughly fifteen minutes or so, he actually got out his phone to show me some bakery articles I think it was on Google to back up what he was saying. I then decided to add more fuel to the fire by telling him that those articles are clearly written by people who don't know any better and he gave me such s menacing look. It's a good thing looks aren't able to kill! 🤣

This isn't an abusive relationship. It's just how we are with each other and this is how we add spice to liven things up a little.

i sometimes..use bathroom cleaner,,in the kitchen.I put olay"night regenerist cream"on- in the morning....

Casually placing the twee tartan doggy-shaped stuffed doorstops in a shagging position in a National Trust shop window, then sneaking away to a safe distance to watch the appalled reaction from the old farts.

Sometimes i put dirty laundry back in the wardrobe, normally DH's

Going on roundabout the wrong way wins imo

Middle lane motorway hoggers, it's me that undertakes you (when safe) gesticulating that you need to move over as you aren't overtaking anything!
🥰😘

Old farts? Do you mean the volunteers who work to keep our history and heritage open and available for you and your children to enjoy?

@GibbonLover I do the same or rip them when nobody is looking.

DP's hobby is painting little models of-I don't even know what-dwarfs or dystopian creatures 🤷🏽‍♀️ (he's a geek on the quiet and has always done it to chill out since he was a child). He has a whole kitchen cupboard devoted to it where he keeps his paint and the little men (?) he is going to paint. There is an actual army of them in there. This annoys me because I would rather use the cupboard for something else. (We are not short of cupboards however so I can't insist). When he has irritated me in some way I retaliate by removing them one at a time. He hasn't noticed yet. Little plastic bastards with their own cupboard...they give me the rage.

It will give you and your friend some great ideas.

Just remembered one.

I was working as a clinical physiologist, although in those days we were called techs.

You can record someone's ECG over 24 hours with a portable monitor. In those days it was recorded on a cassette tape. These were wiped with a strong magnet and reused.

Exceptone wasn't wiped properly so it had 2 ECGs imposed one on top of another.

The patient had to come back and we apologised and re did the test,

Obviously we then wiped the tape, we didn't put it into the computer and write a report with runs of two ECGs where one was in VT and the other sinus rhythm (so one normal and one very dangerous rhythm).

We also didn't put the patient's name as 'Avril Fool' and her address as '1 Fool's lane', we didn't put the diagnosis as 'piggy back transplant' - a heart transplant where the recipient's own heart remains.

We then didn't send it to a junior Dr who was stressing that he couldn't find the patient's notes.The secretaries in the office clicked with the name and address.

I Know it sounds mean, it really wasn't we had a really good relationship with this particular Dr and he'd previously requested an echocardiogram on a made up patient claiming he had an assegai from the Boor war stuck in his chest.

I can also reassure you that this was done on out own time not the NHS.

@familycourtq . ha ha I liked the video thank you , so glad you took the effort to write the words too . >> thumbs up emoji ( it really should be available)

I used to work for a boarding school that treated staff pretty badly (we were on call 22 hours a day, never got weekends off etc) we had these really ugly staff coats that we had to wear if we left the school. We had to return them when we left. My stepdad picked my stuff up on my last day and I snuck the coat into the van. When asked I apologised profusely and said he must have put it in by accident and promised to post it back. I used it to muck my horses out and garden in for about 3 years

Last night I remembered another one,
like most house holds now we have lots of recycling dustbins but when it was all new to us me and my neighbour use to move each others around and stick notes on them, ( they were all in the front gardens ) so sometimes we would crowed them around the front door so the other couldnt get out , or lay them at 45 degree angles on top of each other ( having sex against the wall ) . Lay on their backs ( sunbathing ) lay on their sides ( sleeping ) random fallen positions ( drunk ) all with 'mouths' propped open ( screaming/ hungry ) Neighbour did the best one though A long piece of string between two of them with a ball of brown packing tape in the centre , ( lady and the tramp spaghetti scene )

My DH insists he can’t stand courgette, aubergine, anchovies etc I take great pride in adding these items to dishes and not letting him know (grated, pureed, as a paste), feel quite smug when he compliments on the dish and asks me to make again.

@EL2019
I worked for a company that had a really strict stair code. We had training at least twice a year on how to use the stairs properly!

Where did you work that required twice yearly stairs training??

I did mine today. I got my DD flu letter from school today along with leaflets about various activities that we don’t want to hear about. So I put them back into the envelope to send back to school. They can have that crap back.
