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?

There are several ways of changing the boiling point of water.

I rinse my spoon and leave it on the draining board when I make a coffee at work. It annoys the competitive cleaning people. Not the actual cleaners, the staff who like to moan because someone hasn't put a spoon away the right way round.

I used to have a not very nice step in law who could be a cow about children's presents (very long story short, always demanding expensive gifts for hers, and every year getting our children a colouring book and some felt tips).
Every Christmas she'd give us a framed picture of her and her children. So I took to putting the little sticker from an apple over her face. When she visited I'd nonchalantly walk in the room crunching an apple. I'd draw attention to her picture and chuckle "what are my DCs like".
When she stopped gifting us pictures I took all her photos out and replaced them with pics of my horses. They looked great in frames inscribed "family"

So the children didn’t draw a moustache on aunties photo with the felt tips?

Some of the newsagents round here have bins just for those leaflets

I don't pay into the "tea fund" at work but have a tea and use the milk every day.

I also will leave TV volume on an odd number if DP pisses me off as hes funny about it always being even.

In long queues of traffic merging into one lane I'm that person who will use the overtaking lane right to the front and nip in.

Some of these are brilliant. I'm definitely putting my arsehole boss phone number on a gumtree advert!

@Whyhaveidonethis that's hilarious with the bank transfer references!!

My children don't eat fruit so I eat their share of the free fruit while shopping.

FabulouslyFab Actually, leaving gaps in traffic does help in keeping traffic flowing, because you don't actually stop behind the car in front.

Most traffic jams on the roads are caused by stop start driving, when drivers come racing up behind a slower vehicle and then braking sharpish to slow down, the next driver doing the same, and so on until drivers are actually stopping and starting.

How many times have you been in a jam where you see the road suddenly clear at the front of the queue as drivers start speeding up again, and wonder what caused the jam in the first place?

Many years ago I worked in a FE institution library. We had a lot of irritating students & staff who would just dump a pile of books on the counter and expect us to know whether they were returning or borrowing them (us library staff being far too lowly for them to actually speak to). Our boss just told us to suck it up.
One day, boss was away. I made a sign which read,"The psychic librarian is absent today, please make all requests verbally" and taped it to the counter.

oh this thread is inspiring!

Mine;
Stand outside my daughter's bedroom door and change the channel on the TV she is watching and do it about 5 times in a row

Use the disabled loo when there is a big queue right beside it for the Ladies one.

Cycle up one way streets the wrong way, their fault for not putting a lane in - it's done on plenty of them so why not all!

Never signed in/out at work - who cares nobody looks at it.

Put dog poo bags in other peoples bins when I'm out walking him.

On E-Learning for work - always go straight to the assessment, never read it all.

Say I have to wait in for something being fixed so I can work from home.

Used to not pay on the trains, never got caught and pay now as I earn more so can afford it.

I'm going to do lots more now!

@Yabbers I think @RedRec meant a gap you could fit 5 tanks in...

When I’m in Berlin I try to see how far I can get on my underground ticket. I buy a single but don’t verify it at the machine so can use it for multiple journeys. If the inspector came i would pretend I was a thick tourist (when actually I speak the language really well)

If one of our pets ( 2 dogs & 4 cats) has sicked up/ shat on the kitchen floor/sofa overnight I hide until my DH comes downstairs and then act really surprised when he goes into graphic detail about what a terrible job he had cleaning up the mess. If he has particularly annoyed me I might give a dog some leftover curry last thing at night which means guaranteed early morning rectal explosions. With the rugby World Cup just started the next 7 weeks will be fun.

If my teenage son is taking too long in the shower and running up our water/electricity bill, I manually trip the switch. He believes that the shower is just a bit dodgey so trips the fuse.

The way our plumbing is, I just turn on the hot tap in the kitchen.

My husband is convinced the Bogey Man looks in through the windows at night, he absolutely lothes any chink in the curtains or blinds, even upstairs. We live in the middle of no where so there is no one to peer in.
I NEVER close the curtains or blinds properly, drives him wild.

I refuse to answer texts or WhatsApp messages from our teenagers if they use text speak or don't punctuate properly.

DH absolutely despises decaff coffee, he thinks it an abomination against nature. Unbeknownst to DH, I decant decaff coffee into our coffee pot in the kitchen and have done since about 1997?

I am a very tidy person, with a place for everything and everything in its place. So, naturally it drives me up the wall when DH leaves a big tub of his E45 cream on the coffee table, and his argument is always 'does it really matter where the E45 cream lives?' In retaliation I might have been known to leave an armful of dirty laundry draped over all his fancy camera gear, and when he's incredulous as to why I would do such a thing, obviously I ask 'does t really matter where we keep dirty laundry?'

Gindrinker34 yes! I think my DH also thinks the bogey man looks into our house as well. He will close the blinds etc, before he puts the light on, so stumbles around in the dark across the room. I delight in putting the lights on and not closing the curtains. We have one window we might as well get bricked up as he always closes the blind on it, even during the day.

Jesus it must be a man thing! He says ‘draw the curtains when you are getting dressed someone may look in!’ Me: ‘were are on the bloody so the floor so unless it’s Spider-Man!’

I have to admit, I'm a curtain closer. If I'm home alone I shut all the curtains before it gets dark so the dark can't see in

I give rude people the finger. But I keep my hand by my side. They’ll never know but it makes me feel sooo much better.

I can't be alone in gently tracing messages with my thumbnail onto bananas in supermarkets? They only appear as the fruit ripens. I enjoy imagining people being confronted by a banana that says "We know" or "They are coming".

Bananas? I’m going to try that!

Husband has not been helping me out with toddler much today so I've hidden the remote control that access netflix etc!! He's the one that really used it! He's blamed the toddler!! Sorry baby! 😊

Also as a glasses wearer if ppl really annoy me, I may use a certain finger to push my glasses back up my nose!!
