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?

My National Trust card and mail is all addressed to ‘Princess’. Why was that even an option? Of course I was going to choose it!

If you did this in our church in winter you would have icicles hanging off!

My late MIL used to very tidily fold tea towels and pile them up on the worktops, I used to unfold them and scatter them round the kitchen.

Ok. I would actually hate you for doing that. I like neat folded piles of tea towels. What's the problem with that?

I was often in the middle of doing things and would need to use them, when not in use there was a rail for them.

Right. So why not just use them and leave them? Why the deliberate mess?.

Unless you're part of the viewing figures scheme what you watch makes no difference to the figures. They're extrapolated from a data set of people who take part, with their full knowledge and permission so you would know if it was you, not actually calculated from every TV in the country.

Page 17 of the thread - this is the first one to make me LOL😂

Indeed. Less an act of rebellion that one of dishonesty, I would suggest

It is basically theft. Over here people often see minor shoplifting as a joke, but in another country it may land you a very unpleasant experience with shop security or even police. Yes, over a stupid plastic bag.

Absolutely. For what, 15p ?

When my children had been complaining about their dinners a lot, I would make beef stew with lots of vegetables and potatoes, I meal I quite like but the rest of the family doesn't. I called it the reset dinner, it would be some time before they complained about dinner again as they knew there was a second portion in the freezer.

I use sweary passwords but more because I am so fed up with some websites. I am just typing out how I feel when I type out EffThisShite!@ Or whatever .

I’m the only one at work who refuses to add a profile picture to our project management software.

They know what I look like ffs.

Mine only lets me roll over 3

LOL 🤣 according to supermarkets themselves carrier bag prices go up in order to discourage carrier bag consumption. It's nothing to do with costs. And do you know how they monitor carrier bag consumption? That's right, they count sales. So every time you buy a carrier bag, that's another tick on the chart that shows we're all using too many bags, which ultimately leads to a price increase for everyone.

On the other hand, me taking the odd bag without scanning it when I've forgotten my reusables/am on the hop, that doesn't register at all. Statistically I am driving down the bag charge because I'm not recorded as using any bags.

You're welcome.

I love this!

Alternatively of course, everyone could just keep left on the pavements instead of blocking the whole thing and there would be no conflicts or need to play patriarchal chicken

Easy.

On the dishwasher, I didn't know there was a right way and wrong way. I firstly take out the easiest stuff to put away.

As for the carrier bags, if you don't pay for them, it's theft. Look up the offence under the Theft Act.

Oh and I have changed my username even though I am neither ginger nor a guinea pig and don't have any pets. I guess that is marginally rebellious :)

Interesting logic. Still theft.

Was thinking of this thread yesterday whilst visiting my Aunt in her care home. My aunt is mid 80s and has always been a bit of a character though vascular dementia has stole a lot of that now including her voice on occasions.

The care worker was trying to encourage her to eat and drink whilst they were tidying her room but every time they turned their back she gave them the fingers behind their back and scrunched her faceup like a bold child. It made my heart so happy and I hope if I live to that age have her sass.

I really like this. Petty for no reason. Fully support.

That reminds me of my grandmother. She was in bed, very ill, and I think people were encouraging her to eat when she no longer wanted to. After she died we found an iced cupcake in her bedside drawer. So typical of her, polite but a rebel at heart.

I like this. I might stream it on my iPad later to add to the figures 👌🏻

We bought a old church pew for the breakfast room. Some overly religious relatives like it because of its history. I have been known to find it a handy place to leave a pile of books on Humanism when they are visiting.

I don't iron tea towels. Sorry Mum.
