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?

I keep my red wine in the fridge because I prefer it chilled.
When I smoked (post smoking ban) I used to make a point of blowing the smoke from my last drag out as I walked back into the pub/whatever building I was in.
I give a false name in Starbucks.
This one is slightly outing- my mum has this thing about eggs, she has to remove the 'bit' (the small white part that holds the yolk in place before you crack the egg. When I was a kid I assumed you had to remove it so in cookery class I was dutifully doing it until everyone asked me wtf I was doing. I haven't bothered since.
Every time I make a cake, my mum asks me if I've taken it out, I always says yes.

I remember someone telling me that red wine should be a little cold as ‘room temperature’ was a bit chillier back in the dark ages.

Oh and when I order things online and fill in the details form, I always use random titles such as Lady, Reverend or The Right Hon etc. I hope it makes the postman smile when he delivers a parcel for 'Lady Starpepper' to my 3 bed semi

Oh - I am going to be Admiral next time I get the chance!

Oooh I feel vindicated about the red wine now. Thanks Lordproffekko

I give a false name in Starbucks.

I give false data in almost every case where it's juts being harvested. Any nosy person or organisation will get lies.

If asked for a postcode in a shop (have they given that up yet) I always gave the one of an office in Reading I used to work at in the 90s.

Most of my passwords contain swearing.

I used to put junk mail in the reply envelopes from other junk mail and repost them - I figured it kept Royal Mail going and someone had to pay people to open it all. Now it's just e-mail spam :)

Our dog is the best rebel ever!

My DH has taken over the spare bedroom as "his" space. He has a sofa in there and his yoga mats etc to do his meditation.

Our dog has free access to every room in the house - except for DHs retreat. DH says he doesn't want her "filthy body" all over his stuff! (So rude about my little darling)

He never shuts the door and when he's in there DDog knows she must just lie on the threshold.

But as soon as DH goes out, she runs upstairs and rolls all over his sofa and yoga mat! I haven't encouraged her - she does it all on her own. Obviously I don't discourage her either!

😂😂😂

Here's a picture of the rebel herself! 😍

Dogs - they just know don’t they?

I think its more likely that she is picking up his scent to signal that she belongs to his group.

In a large shopping centre near me they have painted blue footprints on the escalators to show you how to stand, obviously I don't comply. Hubby takes his shirts off leaving the sleeves inside out. That's how I wash them and hang them back in the wardrobe. He loads and unloads the dishwasher as i don't do it right (tee hee)

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

I worked on the consultancy side of a construction company. We did this training twice a year. I believe one of the utilities companies here does it too. There are more at work accidents on stairs than you’d think.

I give false data in almost every case where it's juts being harvested. Any nosy person or organisation will get lies.
I always login to those free WiFi hotspots with an email address of [email protected]. When they ask for a postcode, I give the postcode of their own place or head office.

When I was younger and in clubs and was being bothered by people asking for my number, I used to give out the number of the local STD clinic.

The only one I have now is hiding food, so all the gannets in the house don’t scoff it all at once but in the past - so many.

• deleting phone messages from ex’s undesirable friends.
• turning up the oven so his food got burnt
• changing the washing temp to 60 so his jumpers shrunk
• nicking all the best socks for myself
• changing an angry note he left about the hot water thermostat into a sweet polite one complete with hearts and kisses
• deleting millions of porn images from his pc
• using said pc to copy songs onto minidisc when he was out, as he refused to do it for me (yes it was a long time ago)
• keeping all the best linen for the spare room and scenting it with Jo Malone linen spray.
• and hiding it when his equally grubby brother came to stay, giving him the shitty polycotton sheets.

b) I took a children's bible from a church a couple of years ago to use at work and I still have it.

I don't think that counts as a harmless act of rebellion, that's really bad. You can't steal from churches.

my hairdresser shares a carpark with our local Conservative MP - I usually reverse park perfectly into spaces but somehow here I park managing to use half of one of theirs as well - because I really want some twat to march into the hairdresser and tell me I have blocked their space so I can reply 'well you have fucked the country up so we are even' sadly still to happen but I also always give their CCTV the big finger

I love the one about teaching the bread bin a lesson!

Some of these confessions are literally admitting to being a thief though

The Kit Kat one is abhorrent, obviously.

Sometimes I put stuff in the dishwasher that is not dishwasher safe. Yesterday I put in my dd's curly straw, and now it is straight... so that was a mistake...

I used to work in a shop that sold mini artists mannequins. I may have posed a few suggestively.
It was me who wrote "poo" on the etch a sketch. We had a ridiculous manager at one point who insisted everyone tidy up at 5pm regardless of anything else needing doing or the actual state of the shop. That particular day had been very quiet, I had tidied everything in less than half an hour and had another 90 minutes to kill.
It wasn't me who arranged the decorative polar bears though. One was on all fours, another was reading up. Horrible things that shat glitter everywhere if you touched them.
It wasn't me, but I watched my colleague put them out and line them up. Took ages for the manager to work out why people kept sniggering.
I was also told I had to wash up a load of crap in the staff room kitchen, none of which I had used and most belonged to a trainee manager. I did pick off the more obvious bits of food, but I didn't wash it properly. I may also have used the cloth the cleaner used on the floor. Oops.
I don't work there any more. Thank goodness.

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.

Do you throw them away? You should hide them around the house in weird places and deny all knowledge.

No-as much as I'd like to, I don't chuck them. But actually that's inspired. I might start hiding them in weird places for him to find

@GuidoTheKillerPimp

In a very ordinary office with two flights of stairs!

@PriscillaTheHun brilliant!

No, just any old fart who wouldn't see the funny side of some light hearted mischief.

I took a children's bible from a church a couple of years ago to use at work

This counts as spreading the word of God!

Some of these are brilliant and I'll definitely be trying harder to put them into practice.

My own little act of dissent is to speed up whenever I see a police car so that I'm going just over the speed limit, say 32mph in a 30 zone. I'm usually a stickler for speed limits but doing this makes me feel like a hardcore rebel.

@Ahundredpercentthatbitch. You would not leave the tap running if you had a water metre!
