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?

You can’t change the boiling temp of water.

Technically it depends on external pressure...

I’m a primary school teacher so I usually photograph the errors first then get my very young children to spot and correct them. I hope I’m arming the next generation of grammar warriors.

Oh I love the fact you pass it to your children !

@Inebriati that is genius

And @AngeIoMysterioso that is brilliant about the cup!

The escalator I just went down told me to hold the handrail. I did not. I also refused to cross the road via the little fenced off island in the middle of the road, I walked round it because it was a more direct route to where I was going.

Their bloody expensive!

They’re.

I accept that 9.4 is a style thing. SPAG errors are just wrong.

I eat my toast (or other crumbly food) in my partners spot on the sofa. He eats every meal at the table (his mum's a clean freak and he was brought up to eat everything at the table. Its ridiculous but I enjoy it.

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.

At normal atmospheric pressure water boils at 100 degrees. So if you live on a beach yes water doesn't boil until it reaches 100 degrees, however at quite low altitudes water can and does boil at lower temperatures eg if you live in Buxton your kettle probably boils at 99 degrees.

Also I wasn't saying water at 96 degrees is boiling, just that a kettle that switches off at 96 could be for coffee.

And don't get me started on pressure cookers.

I break the stalk off broccoli in the supermarket before I buy it. I don’t use that bit, so I’m not paying for it!

If nobody is sitting in the ‘Premium’ seats at the cinema we always move into them once the film starts.

Just thought of one, the local pub decorates for a lot of things, at easter they have soft toy bunnies.They may or may not have been left in positions that look like they are...well breeding like bunnies

I rearrange stuff in MILs bathroom as she is a big fan of "pottering" when she comes to our house

@Skinnychip my MIL is exactly the same. You are my hero. I’m so excited to do this!

My small act is quite outing as I’ve told a few people this IRL... I’m currently pregnant with DC1. MIL has bought shed loads of baby stuff with “I Love My Daddy” and “I Have The World’s Best Granny” type slogans on but nothing with “Mummy” on... so I’ve bought DD an “I Love My Mummy” babygro to wear for the first time she meets MIL

So which one of you was it that went into Tate Modern and arrange the whole display of little artist mannequin hands in the shop to give the one finger salute? All neatly lined up and facing the same direction. It must have taken ages!

I sometimes drive the wrong way around a mini roundabout if no one else is around

When possible I park directly outside my house, even if it leaves an odd gap that means another car can't fit in there. I SHOULD move up to maximise parking but I don't.

I never use the toilet on my break at work, always go during work, i like to get paid to have a shit and piss

"Their bloody expensive!"

They’re.

Yes I used the wrong their/they're by mistake. Next time I see a spelling error on someone's property I will go armed with a pen and change it and hope they don't accuse me of criminal damage. Just because it's wrong doesn't mean you can go drawing on it!

If I don't particularly like or want to associate with someone, I post selfies online on the days of events I have declined going to because I'm too 'busy' to attend.

We have to do trainings at work often where there is an E-course, then a test which you have to score a particular percentage in. I never do the E-course, and just Google the answers to the test.

If my partner is away, I always eat my dinner in the living room instead of at the table.

You can’t change the boiling temp of water.

Technically it depends on external pressure...

True. I meant, you can’t change the boiling temp of water inside a kettle. Unless it was a pressure kettle, but then...why?...

Also, isn’t tea or coffee made with hot-but-not-boiling water absolutely rank?

Also, isn’t tea or coffee made with hot-but-not-boiling water absolutely rank?

Tea probably does, coffee is better made with very hot water not boiling.Coffee makers don't boil the water.

This is actually quite vindictive

Two little ways I rebel against childhood restrictions: I often wear trainers without socks, because I was forbidden to do this as a child.

With presents, the downside was being sent out of the room while mine were wrapped (my brother used to banish me gleefully). So when my DH wraps mine, I’m there with him. I am blindfolded for this, but it feels rebellious, partly because people (including MN) think it’s weird. 🙂

I'm not rebellious but my mum is. At the cinema when the voice tells you to put your 3D glasses on she refuses saying she'll put them on when she's ready.

I was told off once, about five years ago, by a shift manager because I was wearing the wrong colour socks. I now take great pleasure in wearing the most obnoxious socks I can when I know he's going to be in because the cut of my trousers means they don't show.

When I go to my mums if she is in one of her moods I rearrange her herbs and spices so they are no longer in alphabetical order.
