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?

When I was pregnant and people asked me if we knew the sex of the baby I would always say no, it’s a surprise, even though we did.

None of their feckin’ business!

When I sung Baa Baa Blacksheep to my daughter at the end instead "and one for the little boy who lived down the lane" it would be a "little girl" who lived down the lane. No idea why, just came naturally.

I used to know a thoroughly unlikable older man, but something he said has proved invaluable: "Never make your information fit the form. Make the form fit your information."

I take delight in doing this. And once, when I was in a dispute with a financial company & they sent me a bill to send back with 'Do not write anything under this line' at the bottom of it, I wrote under the line 'THIS NONSENSE MUST STOP' - & it did! They sorted out the dispute.

Genius. This made me laugh so hard.

Absolutely love this!

I always take the best bits of bacon. Boy inhales his food, girl drops more than she eats. I buy it, I cook it, so I sneak the best two rashers for myself, mostly guilt free!

I have just bought myself a Charlie Brown (as in, Peanuts) watch. Charlie's arms are the hands of the watch. It is gloriously childish and unnecessary and is a big two fingers to my father who was emotionally abusive and never let me have a similar watch "because it's stupid and I'd grow out of it".

I wear "night cream "- during the day.... And use "bathroom cleaner"on the kitchen

Why use the Sat Nav then?

@ShouldIStaySelfIsolated @ThatFraggle

Tehehe I partly specified the order we do it just to ellicit debate - delighted you have responded! (a small rebellion again)

Quite agree it probably does make sense to go bottom up but if you pull out one drawer at a time it doesn't make any odds I don't think. I've always just done it the way my mother taught me - she is to blame for all my weaknesses, while I will take credit for all my strengths ;)

But... glassware at the bottom? Risking your life in my household, but apparently perfectly normal in some homes!

I’m sitting on a train next to the teenager who pushed in front of me to get on. There were plenty of other seats but I thought I’d piss her off a bit.

Not to piss on your rebellious chips, but isn't night cream a different formula to day cream and for a reason?

My DP is very superstitious (I am not) when I'm angry with him I do curse symbols at him with my hands behind my back. I have learned these online. It's so childish because I do not believe that they work at all and he has no idea so is unaffected, but it's the firerce joy that if he found out he would be so pissed off.

I drink from a mini Prosecco when I'm on my own in the cinema.

I love this!!

My sister does this! One time we went together to get our hair done and my sister had to prep me like "oh BTW they think I'm a criminal defence lawyer" 🤣🤣

I do this, I like to have the sat nav 'on call' in case of diversions. But I have a regular journey argument with mine where I ignore it telling me to take the next exit about 10 times. It melodramatically keeps putting back my ETA until one particular exit, when it sheepishly realises I'm right and knocks about 20mins back off the arrival time 😆

🤣 Stealing this.

This is genius, I am stealing the idea.

I've done the random other supermarket shopping bag, and turned a nice neighbour into doing the same. He gave me a lift to Asda once and was horrified I took a large aldi bag in. Saw I wasnt shot on sight and now takes any bag he has handy.
I've done patriarchy chicken forever, I broke a bone, was on crutches, moving quite slowly. A man stopped dead in front of me and I looked at him, raised my shoulders and said, well I ain't moving mate. The look of hatred on his face means I do it all the time now, since about 1987.

I've been a DR, JP, dame, princess and Lord and more many times. I dislike miss Mrs and Ms. So I randomly choose now if there are those options. I don't understand why we even need these anymore. I have a first, middle and surname. Surely some combination of those would suffice.

If I am being tailgated - I brake, give them the v sign in the mirror and then drive very slowly

A man once yelled at me 'cheer up love, it might never happen' and I replied 'I just found out I have terminal cancer'.

I also always incorrectly answer surveys to skew results. And I'm an analyst who works with surveys daily!

OP, if you think your unshaved legs are rebellious, you should see my bush.

Another from me, this thread has cheered me up immensely after a really stressful week, thank you everyone!

My parents live in the countryside and the road is popular with cyclists. Whenever cyclists are talking to each other, they talk very loudly (I guess because they have the sound of the bicycle on the road close to them) but it means we can hear the conversation absolutely crystal clear along a good 2-300 yards of the road from the garden patio which is a good 30 yards back from the road behind a big hedge.
I always chip in to their conversations shouting back 'Oh yes I find that too!' or 'Yes Sarah is SUCH a sweetie!' or whatever a suitable comment might be. If I can make it have an embarrassing slant I do. I take untold joy from it.

@MissHarrietBede maybe.?I do not know-i have neither read the ingredients nor the science on this matter. its not an everyday event. I do it.because i can. ... in my head that is a little rebellious? Non detrimental to my life really.my face aint fell off.

Years ago, when I used to work in customer services and I had a twat on the phone I would put them on speaker and the four of us in our bank of desks would sit and laugh at them silently and flick the Vs at the phone

good times

Lol I do this to and if they keep tailgating me I do it a few more times. They normally back of.
