To ask about your little rebellions?

[Sensibletrousers]

I’m sitting here about to get changed for Zumba and I want to wear shorts but my legs aren’t shaved. I will be wearing shorts anyway. It’s a little rebellion, a tiny “up yours” to the man.

I have always found little ways to rebel (recovering people pleaser) that don’t actually hurt anyone so that I don’t have one massive rebellion and ruin my life one day!!

I also don’t share food, even with my kids, and am unapologetic about it. It’s now a family joke.

What little rebellions do you enjoy?

I like ignoring the Sat nav and using a different route that I know is better. I get to do it often as there's roads newer than my Sat Nav near our house. And its confusion over the "new" A14 amuses me disproportionately.

Always sitting in First Class on my commute into and out of Clapham junction. No one checks and there are always empty seats, even if the rest of the train is ridiculously rammed. On Friday nights I sit there with a can of M&S gin and tonic as a treat 😂

If someone puts an early meeting in my diary without first asking me if I am available, I decline it.

Everybody thinks I work longer hours than I actually do (wfh). I am often back in bed with a coffee after the school run.

This is not a 'harmless rebellion', it is antisocial behaviour.

Surely what you have posted can't be true?

This is a joke right?

Clicking "no" when someone asks for a read-receipt.

I swim into people who try to muscle in on my lane. Not everybody, if It's just busy and can't be helped then I'm as considerate as possible. But the people (usually men) who walk past all men who are often already taking up way more space, then start where they can see me swimming towards them.

Are you joking?

What the actual fuck😳

If this is true, you're slightly deranged

I had a dr appointment this morning which was very quick, im late into work but they've adjusted my rota to start at 10.30, i could have made it for 9.45 but instead i turned round and am in costa having a coffee and a roll instead. Feeling naughty but nice.

@Dotjones , what a stupid thing to do.

I pick the most unlikely title on forms - think ‘Baron’, ‘Lord’ or ‘Reverend’ 😂

It’s a middle finger to the patriarchy.

I’ve been turning up for meetings with posh people clutching a McDonald’s milkshake since my boss told me I’ve got to look more representative.

Please don’t feed the troll.

These threads always seem to go from 'I tell the barista my name is Humphrette' to 'I've never paid for any of my shopping at M&S self check out' to 'I poison any living creature that enters my garden' in about twenty minutes.

I use Sainsbury "bags for life" in Tesco. And vice versa.

I deliberately do things that piss my DH off, like not replace the toilet roll when I'm done, not use foil on baking trays etc. I do 90% of the housework and mental load and it gives me a thrill of satisfaction to see him get annoyed at domestic stuff. We used to share laundry until I kept "forgetting" how he prefers his shirts to hang dry so now he does it all himself.

Ha ha, me too !

When I used to make DHs lunch box, if he had annoyed me I would put in a yogurt and no spoon.

My little rebellion was to pick up discarded masks on the street and put them in the bin. Maybe it was someone else's little rebellion to not dispose of them properly.

My other little rebellion is to queue in shops rather than use self serve. I dislike the machines and I feel the more we use them, the less choice we'll have.

I don't follow the arrows in IKEA

When my children were in a pushchair I used to play chicken with other people on the pavement (usually men). They would be walking straight at me, expecting me to move over so I would pretend to be gazing at something to the side (traffic, shops etc) giving them no choice but to move over or walk into my pushchair.
Nobody ever walked into my pushchair ;)
