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 did the supermarket divider thing yesterday, got tutted at, but smiled sweetly at the tuttee.
I have a very annoying colleague. I like to move her pen, just slightly, so it's no longer lined up with the edge of the desk.

Dh had a thing about all the heater knobs in his car pointing the same way. Funny how I always accidentally moved them with my handbag when I got in.

Despite several letters I never returned my dad's disabled badge when he died because I couldn't bear to send off a photo of him to be destroyed. It's still in the cupboard to this day.

Not locking the toilet doir b eww cause it says please lock for you're inconveniance because personally i find it more convenient to not lock it. If it said to lock it for other's convenience I'd do it.

When my photo was taken for my ID I blinked (not intentionally). I was asked if I wanted another one taken and I declined. Walked around for several years wearing a badge which had a photo of me with my eyes shut.

My partner likes their toiletries in a particular order, with specific spacing on the shelf, They also have to be the correct distance from the wall. When they do something to annoy me I subtly move them, just enough to create confusion but not quite enough for it to be obvious they have been tampered with.

When I do the laundry, if a sleeve has been left inside out or is scrunched up inside the top bit I wash it as it is and hang it to dry without putting it where it should be.

I also deliberately use pegs that look foul against the colours of the washing.

If I find a dirty glass by the side of the sink after the washing up has been put in the dishwasher I leave it there. If it is still there the next day I put it back in the cupboard without washing it. This doesn't bother me because I don't use the glasses.

I turn the sound off in shops where they have those loud adverts on TVs, if I can find the switch.

In a previous job, we used to get to drive clients cars. If they were rude clients, we'd change every setting (seats, rear and wing mirrors, heaters, radio stations) and wind the back windows down.

I make up entire lives for myself with hairdressers.

I provide made up names at Starbucks

@AJPTaylor

I deliberately stack the dishwasher in a hap hazard fashion just so he can rearrange every fucking thing in it. I started doing it after 20 years of him opening the door and moving a few things around no matter how I had stacked it. So now I just fling it in at random.

One Christmas I gave all the members of my brothers family (incl teen children) a remote for their TV so they didn't have to fight over it and they could all change the channel.

I stick to “the man” by marking all adverts on my Facebook feed as irrelevant.
