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?

Loving this thread; it's made me comment on here for the first time!

I have no imagination at all. But I have searched and searched my actions, and found I do these:
All along the stretch where I usually walk the dogs there are 3 'dog-poo' bins; they ALL have those stupid signs that tell you NEVER to put any other rubbish in them. It is along a major route and on a shoreline. I ALWAYS pick up rubbish that has been thrown out of cars and/or come off the sea, and put them in the nearest bin. They will give us a normal bin one day.
On the same stretch of road; it's a 30 limit and the police sit in a layby near my home. If I'm approaching and I can see someone speeding through the village I'll flash them before they get to that spot (only when the cops aren't there). It's hilarious to see them desperately brake as you go past

@tenredthings I do this 😂😂
My OH has been warned multiple times!

I've also just made a healthy chia pudding and realised I add a generous little slug of whiskey to most recipes...

I like to eat a whole packet of biscuits to myself and leave a couple of crumbs in the packet and put it back in the cupboard 😂
My OH goes mad but I think it's hilarious!!

I insist on driving at the advised 20 speed limit through my village. Especially at school pick up time.

I drive round Sainsbury's car park following the arrows but I don't go the way everyone else seems to. You can always get a space that way as you arrive sooner than people who go the 'generally accepted way' Other drivers seem to hate this and glare at me, I like to smile at them.

On my commute to work instead of waiting in the huge line to turn left at the roundabout I get in the right hand lane and go all the way around the roundabout, this saves me about 10 minutes. People waiting as you pass them in the huge lane look flabbergasted.

I use the proper light switches to turn the lights on instead of asking Alexa to do it.

Streamingbannersofdawn, you are a genius!!!! I love the roundabout dodge and may well adopt it if you don’t mind!! I sometimes turn left (when I want to turn right) onto a busy main road to go to the next right turn to turn back the way I want to go iyswim.

My husband taught me this dodge...It's great! Why didn't I think of it before?

Today I put the empty cat food tin in the regular bin as it was smelling my kitchen out, but it was too rainy (absolutely pissing it down) to run to the end of the garden to the recycling bin. The black bin is right by the back door. I know, I'm a devil

Yay I too do the roundabout dodge.

Alexa is linked to my spotify account so when my daughter is listening to George Ezra or Ed Sheeran, I change it to Metallica or Slipknot.

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.

Oh I do this but wasn't sure I should fess up. I usuallly keep myself busy putting more items on the conveyor and feigned indifference when the person in front is moaning

@JadziaSnax same.. tho when she puts her depressing bloody music ( Lewis capaldi) I change it to "YMCA" 😆

When someone really pisses me off on the phone I do the whole v sign/middle finger thing whilst I'm talking to them in my reasonable phone voice.

When I hang up I stick my tongue out at them.

I have a different version of the roundabout dodge (although I have done the one described above): there is a roundabout near me where the left lane is turn left only, and even has a separate road bypassing the roundabout; the queue in that lane is always long, even though the traffic does not even have to give way. It is possible, and perfectly legal to use lane 2 to turn left at the roundabout (although you have to give way), so I often do this.

When those pesky cold callers call asking if you have been in a car accident recently . I tell them sorry she’s not here - she died - in a car accident 😂

Washed and ironed all his shirts with the sleeves rolled up. After asking him 3 million times to please unroll the sleeves before putting them in for washing.

I carefully cut round a certain area of page 3 www.mumsnet.com/emo/te/2.gif.pagespeed.ce.pqlGYGVWqX.gif

Getting thrown out of John Lewis for playing on the escalators - going up the down one, and down the up one .. huge fun. I was 35 :)

Oh. And cleaned the loo with DH's toothbrush after he'd REALLY pissed me off ....

That's really bad isn't it?

On holiday I smuggled out a fully loaded hotdog in my cleavage from the cafe to the sun bed without the food police (lifeguard) seeing me and getting told off. The next day, my friend and I smuggled hotdogs and chips for the kids and they had an illicit picnic behind some strategically placed sunbeds.
Oh the adrenaline and the thrill of breaking the rules!

@bagginses

I also kept receiving those calls telling me there was a virus on my computer and that I needed to turn it on for them to help me sort it out. So I played along, acted all panicked and said that yes, yes I would go and switch on my PC and could they hold on whilst I did it. My record was keeping one person waiting for over 8 minutes before they realised I wasn't going to come back to the phone.

I will have to remember this next time , ingenuous !
I have been getting a lot of them calls recently and have said / done the following ;
"but which computer do you mean , I have got 4 - 6 - 10 ( what ever number pops into my head )

SHIT i knew it was a dodgy to buy one in a pub carpark , I will throw it away now . ( followed by a loud crash , normally a roasting tin been thrown hard on the tiled floor )

The swine has been on some seedy website again hasn't he ? tell me which one it is so I can add it to the divorce papers.

Fuck I think thats the one that I stole.

With one I played along cos I was bored ,
Him - your desk top has been hacked Arizona here is the code you need for me to be able to sort this out for you ( gives me a really long ID type code consisting of lower and upper case letters and numbers.) which I diligently wrote down
Me - I am not sure if I have wrote it down right can you repeat it
Him - repeats it but it was slightly different

Me - No thats not right can you repeat it again ( unsurprisingly it was different )
Me I repeated my number back to him really fast and wrong
Him - yep that right
Me - that that was number of a piece of medical equipment I have just bought so it must be wrong
Him - ok never mind the number just log on and I will be able to remotely access your desktop
Me Umm My desk top is at work
Him . . . . . dialling tone.

@JadziaSnax I do this to DD too. She listens to “NightCore”, whatever that is, all I know is that when I listened to 30 seconds of it I felt like I could hear colours I too am of the rock persuasion although she finds it way more annoying if I put “old” music on so Elvis or The Beatles.

I'm a postie and on the outside gate of a house I deliver to a sign has appeared saying 'Ring bell and wait!' I may or may not have written 'please!' underneath......
