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?

Haha

I have been known to artfully place a spoon in the sink so when DH turns the tap on he gets a face full of water.

Brilliant! I was going to weigh in, but saw others had taken up the gauntlet!

I don't shave either! I used to shave my facial hair but then masks happened and I got out of the habit as no one could see my face. I got a fright this morning when I looked in the mirror, so I might have to remember a bit more! My legs are fine the way they are, I even wear shorts! 🙀

I love this

One of my housemates (male) will sit at the kitchen table then leave the chair out so it gets in the way of the fridge instead of pushing it back under. I've taken to putting it up on the table, in various different ways, depending on my mood.

Oh, and another one! My landlord is a nobber, a while ago he said I was 'odd' (during a lecture where he made me feel like I was about 12, long story there) so I've now left my 'Beware, crazy sheep lady!' mug on display in the kitchen. Makes me smile! 🐑

Every time I use the loo at work, I turn the coat hook on the back of the toilet door 90 degrees to the right because FUCK THE MAN

Farting when I'm on the up escalator coming out of the Tube

I know many uptight men and women will get a good strong whiff of it😅

Apparently, I should be more sensible and sedate as I'm an older parent. I've just booked up for a nose piercing.

I just love that there is a mug like that out there! 🐏are very underrated, IMO.

Going up the wrong side of the steps (especially at the station).

I'm in awe of this. I have so little sense of direction that I can spend years following the bus route rather than dare deviate from it, for fear of adding an hour to my journey!

We do this purely to stop the shop advising us of stealing the bags lol.

Well mostly I do bring my own. But sometimes I forget or I end up having to buy things unexpectedly and am walking/on the bus so need a bag or two. In which case I'll take a bag or two. Better for the planet than me driving to the shop, better for my finances too. There's a whole lot of things that Tesco and the likes could be doing about climate change. Charging me even more money than they already do isn't one of them.

Well done, you! Sometimes I feel terrified of traffic wardens! If I see one, when I’m walking, I suddenly panic that I haven’t paid for parking!… then realise I didn’t even drive the car! 😂

I purposely didn't wash the greenfly off my DPs salad this evening because he was being an arse.....never bite the hand that feeds you! Felt good watching him munching on all that extra protein. 🪳

I do this too. My daughter knows all the statistics on male violence against women, we talk about women who have stood up to the patriarchy like the women who pretended to be a man to study medicine, the women who ran a marathon and the male officials who tried to stop her, how she just ran away and they couldn’t catch her. My daughter knows she needs to continue to smash the patriarchy, support other women. My sons will learn this when old enough to understand too.

I love this.

I recall going for dinner at a friend's house. Her DS asked what was for dinner. My friend replied; 'Beef stew'. He moaned; 'But I don't LIKE beef stew?'. My friend without missing a beat said 'Do you like beef casserole? I will do that instead'.

That was better apparently and he ate the lot.

(He's now 15 and eats everything)

A long time ago I was in benefits and bought beer for the lolly pop man (it’s a silly tradition we have, locally. We buy chocolates, beer, biscuits etc. for seeing us safely across the road)

I was told in no uncertain terms should I be buying beer with benefit money by a health visitor once.

So every Christmas and summer holiday, the lollipop man got beer. (I spent around £5, so not an exorbitant amount)
The kids would run up to him smiling with the present and a home-made card and give it to him.

i also made sure that I bought a bottle for the school summer tombola as well.

I don’t drink or buy alcohol regularly but telling me I shouldn’t buy it all together made me angry.

I cover the pile of Daily Mails at Tesco with a copy of the Guardian.

when airlines start randomly tagging bags to go in the hold at the end of the queue, I always get picked. It's like a curse. Recently I've started just taking the tag off and take it on the flight.... I always have a backpack, maybe it looks a little like a suitcase, but I always put it under my seat. I also have young kids and fly alone a lot, so waiting for the hold bags is just terrible.

fly alone with the kids*

Not shaving my armpits..... I'm single and no one ever sees them. Apart from the mammogram ladies

That is seriously gross!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 But soo funny!!
