Little acts of rebellion

Sitting in a lovely but overpriced coffee shop today with a friend, and after discussing how overpriced it is, she confessed that when she goes to an overpriced coffee shop, and she thinks it isn't fair, she takes a toilet roll as a little payback. It just really made me laugh. Do any of you have any little acts of rebellion like this? I don't think I have any but I must do.

Why a toilet roll though? If you're going to steal something at least make it a teaspoon or something

I'd better not reveal I sometimes take extra sugars and mini jams from the hotel buffet. I'll be hung drawn and quartered

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I had to register online to buy an item and the website wouldn't let me register without providing a title. ( which I see as completely irrelevant . So I registered as Dame Cheguevara hamster. Please form an orderly queue to curtsy.

@Minimili this really made me giggle 🤭 that’s quite a list.

It’s a bloody toilet roll not the crown jewels!

She already has teaspoons, a toilet roll is more useful

An idiot yelled at me for putting rubbish in her bin so now every time I walk past her gate I open and close her bin to wind her up.

And my DH never puts the iron back and leaves it hanging around in the kitchen so each time I put it away I put it in a different cupboard, so he has to search for it every morning.

Little acts of rebellion....going off path when it says stay on path...just not doing what some things tell me to do..only little things, but its a little victory nonetheless.

crochetmonkey74 · 12/05/2024 08:44

Just as a point of order are we calling @KarlaKKs dad a dirty little thief or are we just doing that to the women?

To imitate OP's idiot friend, I am going from now on go to stay in expensive hotels, but then Im gonna be shocked at the price of the room and carry out some furniture to make up for it.

Make sure you go to multiple expensive hotels though... Because obviously you haven't learned not to go to them, clearly your outrage wasn't enough when you took the display cabinet from The Royal Season's in London last week...

Well, I'll just nip in to your house and take a loo roll, thanks!!
I'm sure you won't mind, after all, I'm not stealing your grandma's diamond ring she left you ...

She's not an idiot despite the many people on here determined to make that the story. She's had a petty outrage and done a silly response. Remember @KarlaKKs lovely old dad is also an idiot then, so don't forget to call him one too

Love the stealth boast that you know a posh hotel and what it has in the lobby 😉

My DP always has a book on his bedside table. He reads about a chapter every night. When he annoys me, I move his book mark. During a particularly irksome phase, I remember him telling me he was enjoying the storyline, but didn't like the way the author kept jumping around between the past, present and future, and was quite repetitive. I did feel mild guilt at ruining his opinion of the book/author, but otherwise felt it was completely justified 😂

For those concerned about coffee shops, I have been known to leave behind hand soaps in my local one. Just the ones I got for Xmas that I wasn't too keen on.

KarlaKK · 12/05/2024 15:33

The dirty sock sandwich is next level. Wish I'd thought of that.

KarlaKK · 12/05/2024 15:34

Love this

I know them well, it's how I've furnished the Summer home in Seville.

She can't read menus or realise how much something costs unti lafter she pays for it, surely that is not a sign of advanced intelligence 😂
