little acts of anarchy

[sunflower68]

Does anyone else  like to keep away the mundanities of life with a little anarchy? I enjoy paying for 3 or 4 GROCERY items at the cigarette counter of Sainsbury's (woah - I don't even smoke).  I sometimes put an old parking ticket slip upside down in the car if I'm only going to be a few minutes...dunno how this will help tho.  I have been known to place my groceries WITHOUT THE BARRIER THINGY on the conveyorbelt. Why do people in front have a half-hearted belief that without the barrier thingy they will be forced to pay for my goods. Welcome to the sad little world of me.

Sometimes I give my boss decaffeinated coffee when he asks for the strong one.

I know, I'm just crazy.

And my father-in-law always moans that I buy semi-skimmed milk and he likes full fat so when I make him tea I always use semi-skimmed and he doesn't notice the difference, but it's a secret victory to me.

Ooh - you are awful!

I do some very anarchic things in the supermarket - I get my money out ready for when the checkout operator has totted up the bill, rather than waiting until I have bagged everything and filled the trolley. I also don't park my trolley across an aisle when I stop to speak to someone! As far as I can see, I'm the only person that does either of these things!

 I can only confess to two acts of anarchy.  I used to live with a chap who was constantly extolling the virtues of his ex-girlfriend. Whenever he wanted a brew he would say 'make it me in Susan's cup'  (a hideous bone china mug bought by the previous girlfriend and a permanent reminder that she used to stare at the same ceiling as me). A looming appointment at the Dr's meant I had to take a urine sample. Ladies, have you ever tried to wee in one of those tiny bottles without getting your hand wet?!?   So I pee'd in his favourite mug, poured it into the bottle then made him a cup of tea!  Ha! Ha!   The smug satisfaction I felt made it a pleasure to hand him his brew.

Can't say what the second one was, the editor may slap me legs!!

This is my confession;

I go through the '10 items only' checkout with 11 items. I open up & sniff all the fabric conditioners & don't screw the lids on properly. I pinch the gloves at petrol stations for hair dyeing. I make faces at small children & look completely innocent if they tell their parents. I abandon my trolley in the middle of the carpark. I dismantle all the boxes of fruit in the fruit display until I've got to the bottom layer where the apples are at least edible.I also deliberatly act suspiciously in shops.After trying on clothes in shops, I put them back in completely the wrong place. If someone keeps driving too close, I let them get really near & then continously spray my rear windscreen washer. I'm the one who pinches the pens from Argos. I have never paid to see a single film at the cinema, I just walk straight in & sit down & I've never been asked for my ticket!  I don't know quite how I've got away with it for so long...but it's quite amusing when I take my friends.

You've got it right sunflower, it's these little things that keep away the mundanities of life!!

Purple Pixie, You complete and utter reprobate!!! 

Mind you, I do eat cherries and grapes as I go past the fruit in the supermarket - just too tempting and when I get to the delicatessen and they have all the little samples of cheese and pie, etc. I eat nearly everything.  Saves buying lunch!

[natalie_1982]

Oooh, Purple Pixie and FP you reminded me!  I took my neice to see Racing Stripes a few weeks ago and I taught her how to put a 'Pick and Mix' sweetie in the bag, and pop one in your mouth, put a sweetie in the bag....... She's four.  I felt really proud.

I, too, have pulled faces at children and then looked the other way.

We have two new horrible wheely bins which I am forced to drag for yards down our long shingle drive and then drag back the next day!  Our recycle bin is meant to have only cans, plastic bottles and paper put in it.  I put everything I consider they should recycle in it, not just things that are easy and are of the correct shape.  If they don't like it they can sort it out!

[smudge]

Oh FP - I'm exactly the same!

We also have a shingle drive & it is a pain dragging the wheelie bins up & down it.

I'm afraid to say I don't bother recycling at all (only newspapers in orange bags). After all we've just received our extortianate Council Tax bill - so they are going to have to earn it from now on! They do ****** all else, except sweep the road a few times a year! 

[smudge]

Oh b*gger it!

[Otrere]

I slow right down to 70 mph on the motorway when a BMW comes steaming up to the back of the car flashing its lights in the outside lane. After all, that is the speed limit! :-)


Incidentally, we Supermarket Cashiers know you types of people (yes unfortunately I work on part-time on the checkouts at present for my own reasons) the ones, who purposely don't put the barrier up, the ones who just sling their shopping on the conveyor belt haphazardly without regard for the person who has got to take it off at the other end, etc. etc. - we know your secrets and as nicely as we smile at you, you really don't want to know what we're really thinking........

my god what a right bunch of rebels we have on this site !!! what a laugh u all gave me.

[silly moo]

Loved your 'anarchy' jake the peg - must try that one.

[smudge]

FP - I lied, we haven't got a shingle drive, ours is a gravel drive - stones!

Just being a rebellious! -x-

When I go to friends or relatives houses I move an ornament each time or move a picture so that it�s not straight I remember my sister telling me that her husband kept swapping the ornaments around but he totally denied it, he�s a tight sod never buys a round of drinks so he deserves it!!!!!

[sunflower68]

Blimey and I thought I was crossing them boundaries...you lot take the biccie.   I thought of another one too - I enjoy graffitti - ing my name in lipstick inside lifts.  When I am alone of course.
