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?

At work, when I have to write letters home for customers / clients, I always address the letter by starting with the Mrs before Mr!

I once yelled "fewer" at a cyclist who crowded me on the pavement. He was wearing one of those smug "one less car" Tshirts.

I’m another ‘protect same-sex rights’ stickerer

When I have to answer an advertising survey to read an article/watch a video, I purposely answer untruthfully to skew their results

I have the kind of job that requires me to be extremely pernickety. This comes with a general professional reputation for being strict and staid. I delight in running as counter to this image as possible, wearing bright prints in the office, jumping down the last few stairs, organising the best team days etc. My CEO is bemused but I haven't been fired yet.

I'm a regular commuter into Central London, used to be so polite to tourists taking a million and one photos of Big Ben on Westminster Bridge when I first started even though they were taking up half the pavement and some utterly ridiculous poses. I lost it though after the attack there and the massive metal/concrete bollards were put in place.

Now I march straight through them. I must be in so many photos: "angry commuter" as a caption

@Serenity45 I do the same with a middle finger 🤣

Cause some poor cleaner, probably female and on minimum wage to have to scrape off the stickers.

If I give way in the car and I don’t get a thank you, they get a very sarcastic thank you at them.

I like this !

I need to get some stickers 😉

In an election, when you get a survey asking what you’re going to vote, I always choose the opposite party.

You sound pleasant

But it IS one less car ☹️

or one fewer cars.

Once I emptied the dishwasher in reverse order to usual just to see how it felt (bottom to top instead of top to bottom as per our household rituals)

Had to have a sit down after that.

LNER fined me £100 for getting a later time train on the same day than on my ticket after I'd got stuck in some tube trouble/ closed lines getting across London.

I paid but vowed I was never going to travel with them again.

Been ten years now and never been back on their trains, feels like a middle finger everytime I book onto their lovely competitor instead. :)

I’ve refused to ask the ‘gender’ question at work since they changed it from sex.

I'm confused by this protest.... the sticker didn't come with a dick, you added a dick? Sounds pro trans to me! 😂

A few weeks ago, I was pulling out into a busy main road and the man behind me shouted “are you going today or tomorrow love?” He had to spend the next two miles behind me while I deliberately went 5mph under the speed limit while occasionally smirking at him through my rear view mirror.

It’s a little rebellion, a tiny “up yours” to the man.

That isn’t a “rebellion”. That’s a “hey, look, I don’t take care of myself!”

Literally nobody cares if you shave your legs or not (except maybe potential partners). It just says a lot about you 🤷‍♀️

My son finds it entertaining to occasionally invite me to game on private servers with him and his loose group of gamer mates from around the world. I stay muted unless I hear anything misogynistic then I unmute and do the Booming Mum Voice of Doom.

DS refuses to ever tell them if I'm online or not so I suppose he's a conspirator in my small rebellion.

That's glorious.

Most of these are a bit pathetic. No one cares if you don't shave your legs - chances are no one will notice - and if you're pissed off with your DH, maybe talk about it like adults rather than passive-agressively forgetting to put a spoon in his lunch box.

Look at you in your judgypants very loudly 'not caring.'

I don’t care if other people want to announce to the world they have no pride in their appearance 🤷‍♀️
