Harmless little acts of rebellion

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. Grin

What are you little acts of rebellion?

I too am user of random titles on stuff I order online that doesn’t matter. Mostly I am Lady or Reverend. I have also put in fanciful names in the deliver to part, so invoice to Newton but deliver to Admiral Lord Nelson or Captain Jack Sparrow. I like to think it brings a smile to a warehouse or delivery deliver somewhere

I also use a fake email address for any free WiFi, often ie [email protected]

I occasionally address letters/emails as 'Dear Madam/ Sir' just makes me feel good .

MulticolourMophead · 20/09/2019 12:43

Type CUNT on the end of emails to the bitch at work who has made my life hell, then change the colour to white before sending. So I know it's there but she can't see it...

Typing anything like this can trigger some targeted ads without the recipient of the email knowing why. Can provoke some serious frustration in some people............ 😁

I live in a 20mph zone. My rebellion is to be the only driver to actually do 20 rather than 30/40.....

I love this thread.

Other threads have started similarly but then descended into horrible acts of spite and criminality and the threads have (quite rightly) been pulled.

This one is fab.

And, yes, I use the titles too. It's my petty act of revenge that I am required to disclose whether I am Mr, Mrs etc

gostiwooz. That last line just turns it from good idea to true genius!

@DarlingNikita they absolutely can tell. Google “rajar quarterly figures”

I am currently on holiday. I don't shower before I get in the pool 😁

BitchyHen · 20/09/2019 17:44

Our old boss was a lovely man, with an unfortunate habit of using wanky phrases like "there's no I in team". Colleague and I had a running joke that the other half of the phrase was "- but there is a u in cunt". She bought a mug with a u on it and we would have a little giggle every time boss drank from it. Colleague and boss have moved on but the mug is still in the cupboard at work and it still amuses me when someone appropriate uses it.Grin

I am so going to do this 😍

I used to walk around Tesco using a Minions Fart gun, standing next to people and acting like a grown up. Massive guff noise and watch people move away, stare.

I used to take my DDs to Matalan to try on the OTT shoes. Set them challenges and sit absolutely pissing myself. They were 5 and 6.

BlueChangeling · 20/09/2019 19:13

I spent the morning reading this thread and got dad cause I couldn't think of anything, so I stole the shopping divider idea... The lady behind me in the queue this evening was really not amused Grin

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 20/09/2019 19:56

When I'm hanging out the washing I don't use matching pegs on each item that is a hanging offence Shock

Mine:

If someone behind me (driving) really fecks me off , I go out of my way to let other cars pull in front of me from side roads (rather than just ignore them) . Hey! I;m being considerate letting other drivers 'blend' in.

I will peg DH and DS boxers/trunks by the crotch and really snap the pegs shut

It's a bread bun, not a roll."

I think you'll find it's a barmcake Grin

I shout “Oh oh, police!” when passing the crowds of illegal gamblers (con people) on Westminster Bridge etc. They all disappear like magic!

It's a cob!

When I've stirred my coffee at work, I rinse and dry the teaspoon and then balance it on my nose before putting it in the dishwasher.

You watch. I'll get caught tomorrow!

NoraEphronsneck · 20/09/2019 20:25

CharlotteUnaNatalieThompson I only work part-time and take great pleasure each Friday saying to my hateful colleague 'C U Next Tuesday'.

Even funnier is that I've told a few people who sit within earshot of us and it amuses them greatly.

ElizaDee · 20/09/2019 20:39

It's a roll.

NotMyRealName123 · 20/09/2019 21:47

The pay-per-pee toilets at train stations etc - just pull the turnstile towards you half a turn and you can step in and through.

apparently

SamBeckett · 20/09/2019 21:51

@yeySeptember ; How do you do that ? its not fair , ( I now want a sullky emoji )

@iklboo I am with you its a barmcake or possibly a oven bottom muffin but only if it is a Sheldons OBM ( local bakers )

I must admit that, getting bored of a vague friend of a friend who has turned Very Vegan and posts twice daily photographs of his vegan meals on FB and about how other people are really unhealthy because they aren't vegan, I copied a stock photo of a ragwort plant and posted it on my page. With the caption "Yummy Ragwort Tea. Natural and incredibly fresh. You can forage for these plants at the roadside!".

I also sent back a letter from a solicitor addressed to "Mr. and Mrs. DH", and wrote on it "please address letter correctly". I have never adopted DH's name so they should have got it right.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 20/09/2019 22:23

When someone is walking towards me on their iPhone, I refuse to give way to them (my DD sometimes grabs me and hisses I know what you're doing, Mum )

To see their shocked little faces that gasp there's a person there and Oh they weren't looking out for PhoneZombie.

If they look a tad apologetic , I tut .
If they look pissed , they get a "Look where the Hell you're going eh?"
I can get away with it, I'm ancient and I give No Shits .

My aim is for someone to drop their stupid phone .

My DC are banned from doing the Walk'n'Swipe. Even indoors.

AbsolCatly · 20/09/2019 22:30

We have photo ID cards at work worn round the neck on a lanyard - big no no to not wear it - mine is there but I turn it back to front when I am pissed off
