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?

If I know what I'm getting in Ikea I go in the exit and straight to what I want.

If you use a supermarket with a rotating door (I've seen them in hospitals too) there is a small unobtrusive button, this is to slow the door for anyone who is less mobile. I take a ridiculous amount of pleasure when some barges past me and strides through the door and then has to stop because the door has mysteriously slowed down.

I recommend Mark Thomas' book 100 ACTS OF MINOR DISSENT for ideas.

My dh is constantly telling me not to rush around but Ive always been the same and Im not intending to change .
That was until he wanted me to drop him off at his local as it was raining,i said yes sure he then said to me to hurry up lovely , when I find the car keys I will was my reply,couldnt find them for a good half hour. Actually they were in my pocket . And Im not owning up to it either.

One school I worked i had a ridiculously strict dress code, I may have worn my blue flame new rocks hidden bu me slightly too long suit trousers.

When I empty the dishwasher (100% always my fucking job for some reason) I don't put the cutlery away in the right spaces, I just fling it all in the drawer.It irritates the fuck out of dh but he irritates me by never doing it so...meh.
If he leaves his clothes or washing (clean/dirty) all over the bed in the morning I just chuck it all on the floor on his side of the bed for him to deal with. I realise this is petty as shit but it drives me demented.

Also when I am obliged to do my yearly "customer care" e-learning package at work (and bear in mind I'm a nurse in the NHS so even the title of the training fucks me off) I click through it while actually answering phone calls or doing other work, or if I'm more likely doing it in my free time at home I watch peaky blinders while doing it. Not one word of that crapola has ever gone into my brain, which makes not one bit of difference to the standard of care and compassion I give my patients.

Growing up, it would drive my mum utterly demented if any of us dared to lick out a bowl, after something like ice-cream.

Now I take great pride in licking out bowls with great enthusiasm!

I sometimes go out through the entrance door in B&Ms rather than the exit door if I haven't bought anything.

I have been known to rearrange the letters of the spice jars in the supermarket so they spell out naughty words such as boobs, Twats, arse. Asda had some candles in jars with letters on the front. My sister and I did it with them too. We went back a few days later and they'd removed the vowels!

II never snap KitKats into fingers, I bite into them like they are any other chocolate bar*

Woah.

I thought there was a law against this?

My colleague is a well known pain in the hole. He loves his stuff exactly as he leaves it on his desk. We have a hot desk office which he ignores because he has to sit in the same desk everyday. Sometimes when I am in early I sit at his desk and he silently short circuits but can’t say anything.

I came home with a model that allows you to change the boiling tempurature by pushing a button.

Wtf? You can’t change the boiling temp of water.

My sister is a staunch guardian reading socialist who thinks the Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph should be banned so once I got her laptop and changed her screensaver to hundreds of tiny pics of the DM and DT

have you got a picture?

If those who correct menus knew how much it cost to have them made and printed you wouldn't deface them. They are designed the way the owner wants them not the way you want to read it. Their bloody expensive!

I take all the clean washing out of my daughters laundry bin , fold it up and give it her back 2 days later as clean washing

Their bloody expensive!

I hoping that is a deliberate use of the incorrect homonym.

Wtf? You can’t change the boiling temp of water.

a) yes you can

b) you want water at 96 degrees for coffee

If I can get away with smoking somewhere I shouldn't, I will (always outdoors and when no one else is around), empty train platforms at night, inside bus stops, the non smoking path areas in work etc. I just don't see the point in not when there's no one about. I feel I have to add I carry an ashtray pouch thing for fag ends.

there is a mini roundabout at the end of my street that I (and everyone else!) drive over every day, because if you want to go left you cant physically get your car round it, its also a bus route and you can tell who is a new driver to that route doing an 83 point turn first thing of a morning and holding everyone up!

now I will feel a little rebellious every morning myself!

no! not if you want to go left, if you want to go right!

woops!

They are designed the way the owner wants them

I suspect the owner would have preferred grammatically correct, but that mistakes have been made.

In the case of prices marked as 9.4 instead of £9.40, then yes, they probably have made a choice. A poor one, but a choice nonetheless. I wonder how many people ask them which currency they would like to be paid in?

I've a couple more to add. After asking my kids twice to tidy something, I'll move it. And not tell them where I have moved it to.

I also really enjoy when the kids are hanging out in our room, sending music from my phone to the wireless speaker, on full volume. They do shit themselves!!!!

I won't reply to text messages form my mother when they contain text speak.

Oh, and the whole DP, DS, DSILEXPDS4, nope, not playing. I don't know why but for some reason, it really annoys me!!! I think I may have inadvertently used them previously, but I must have been having an off-day.

I do this too, and have introduced the game to a few friends. We managed to get shit, twat, tits AND arse out some initial mugs in M&S once.

Have you noticed how hard it is to find a U? Can't think why ...

I can’t think of anything I do bar refuse to conform to the age restrictions placed on me my society. I’m in my forties and have messy hair, bright blue tights teamed with sensible heels and like to dress like I’m going to work even though I’m a SAHM. I just refuse to be pigeon holed. I will look like whatever I feel like on that day regardless of my wrinkles, my weight or my plans.

@Uniformuniformuniform they should ensure their grammar, spelling and punctuation are correct before sending the menus to print then!

Whenever I'm pissed off by someone at work, I don't let on, but every time I'm within earshot of them I hum the Justin Bieber tune 'OH baby, you should go and love yourself' over and over. It makes me happy to know I'm basically humming 'go fuck yourself' but everyone just thinks I'm happy in my work ! :)

a) yes you can

b) you want water at 96 degrees for coffee

I don’t mean to derail the thread with physics, but water at 96 degrees Celsius is not boiling water. It’s just very hot water.

As you were.

When I was heavily pregnant and working in a drs my evil bitch manager used to give me grief a lot so I took upon myself to have a lay down in an un used doctors room most days whilst pretending to do "admin"

I refuse to pair socks. Apparently pairing socks is my job because I do all the washing (I do all the housework in general actually) now I have a missive drawer full of odd socks, when socks have been washed the all get tipped into the drawer.
