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?

Oh I just remembered something that I do to my friends /DP all the time...

If I transfer them money I put the reference as things like Anal sex, or dildo. DP started doing it back to me and was sending me money while telephone banking and the woman said to him "do you want the same reference? Blow job? “

When there's no one about I try to go the wrong way around car parks when trying to get in or out.
I went to a festival and everyone was herded the same way and you could only get one way over a bridge. I haven't been to said festival since. I'm not a sheep.
Oh and those mini roundabouts that are just basically raised circles of paint? I drive right over the top of them. They used to be junctions anyway.

Called pest control on an old boss of mine, said there was a particularly difficult rodent issue they needed to come and sort.

Also-

1. Squirted anti bac gel in someone's shoes
2. 'Accidentally' squirted tomato ketchup over an annoying colleagues white shirt
3. Put fish food in someone's washing detergent
4. Put bosses name into a hairdresser call back system asking for a perm (He is bald ).

If the person in front of me when queuing to lay in the supermarket can’t be bothered to put a diver down, I purposely don’t do it for them. Then I enjoy the fact that they are held up when the cashier has to remove an item or two of mine when they realise.

We also have a kettle that you can set to any temperature. DH likes his tea at 74 degrees which I think is too low. I always do it higher then tell him I’ve followed his instructions.

I also wash and dry inside out clothes without sorting them out for DH and DS.

If DH has done a crap job of washing up and there is a smear or bit of food stuck to something, I’ll give him the item rather than cleaning it.

When I was working in an inbound call centre I would get great delight in telling and awkward/abusive/nasty caller to Call Us Next Time

stoneagemum That’s reminded me of another one! When I worked at a telephone directory service and a caller was being a dick, I’d purposely let them rant/be vile for ages, keeping them on the call and meaning they were spending loads of money instead of ending the call.

Loving this thread.

But the one thing I've taken from it is when ds has hospital apt's (various consultants over various hospitals) I'm going to take tea/coffee and biscuits for the staff. Can't believe it's sackable to have a free tea when working your unpaid break.

DH is very uptight, and I'm not allowed to make any mistakes at all., and I must listen to what he wants to talk about, or else I'm "being rude".

So, when he's away, I - drink alcohol. Lie down on the sofa. Dick around on the internet. Listen to music. Enjoy the bliss after I put the kids to bed of no one talking at me or wanting anything from me. Eat some nice foods all by myself without him. But mostly have alcohol without him expecting it leading to anything.

@YouJustDoYou I do all that when dh is around or not. He sounds like a total control freak. Does he ever make mistakes? I feel sorry for you, I couldn't live like that.

@raspberrycordial no, no mistakes. Ever. He is literal Superman. Perfect never making a mistake ever human being :( Never has even dropped a cup, plate etc. Doesn't even stumble, fgs. Never trips, never even mispells anything, never burns any food, can do 2 hours sleep and still be a perfect parent...it's very exhausting.

I'm not even exaggerating...have known him almost 20 years.

Whereas I'm clumsy. I get tired. I need 7 hours sleep. I drop stuff. I trip. I get grumpy with the kids. Tbh, it's actually...kind of nice when he's away (which is about 5 days at a time). Ah. That's sad.

Er, don’t be a plonker! You leave huge gaps to keep the traffic moving? Have I got news for you - it doesn’t!

We, a quick google would show that I’m right, but I’m happy to leave the disagreement there.

My ds never shuts drawers or cupboard doors once he's opened them.

I use to remind him frequently.

Now I wait until he's gone back to what he wants to do. Let him start playing a game on computer or watching you tube/tv. Then ask him to go and shut it.

He's actually very good and does.

Sometimes I don't even wait though. I accidentally sit on remote so tv turns off or switch WiFi off and then on again and when he moans about WiFi or tv suggest while he's waiting for it to start again he closes all the doors and drawers.

I'm hoping at some point he'll actually learn to just do it.

I always leave a generous gap in traffic jams because I once watched a video that said that it eases congestion. Its got something to do with an accordion effect???

Whenever DH is away (once a year) I order the takeaway that makes him ill.

At work I always gatecrash any student event to offer to "help" and then help myself to any free food that's on offer.

I also turn my phone upside down during adverts in my games, and turn the radio off for Serious Jockin.

I once lived in an area where all garden waste had to be put in special 'garden' bags provided by the local council at a cost.
I used to pop all my grass cuttings in supermarket carrier bags and then put them in the bigger black bin bags
I also sent all junk mail back to its sender or if an envelope is provided then mix up the mail a bit

Iv perfected the magazine flick
They always have loads of leaflets inside which are rubbish but by picking up the magazine from the top and giving it a flick. they all slide out and stay on the rack

Weren’t the black bags those compostible ones??

I work in a lab. We have little round plastic inserts we put in the top of some blood bottles to differentiate between them. They were stored in clear plastic sample bags (so you could see the colour). Someone took the time to make some labels for the (clear) bags saying pink inserts/green inserts.

I emptied them out and swapped them over

My passwords are all swear words.

My stepson has a thing about the loo roll going on a certain way. I never even noticed which way round it was until I found this out. I spent a month putting it on the 'wrong' way as it was always me who replaced it.

OMG I've done that too, I sent some money with, 'anal lube' - it's a reference to an episode of mock the week - look it up on youtube.

If my dad sends me money it is, 'to my favorite daughter' - I'm his only daughter so it'd true.

I brought the maternity staff at the hospital the biggest pack of PG Tips I could find. It’s outrageous that they don’t get tea. And it sped up my discharge...

When everyone has left work and I have a lot to do, I like to take my shoes off and sit cross legged on my chair. Also listen to Ramstein or The Prodigy while writing incredibly boring procedures. I don’t look like the type to listen to that style of music.

Last weekend in the pub loo some waggish person (man) had put an agist, sexist ode about women on the back of the door.

So I took it down, screwed it up and threw it away. And did the same with the one in the second loo too.

Sashh water boils at 100 degrees. At 96 degrees it is not "boiling."
