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 put my right shoe on first.

[Dark Angel]

actually some people think that you are being considerate when you put the barrier thingy on the conveyor belt, and they say, "thank you." very sincerely, not sarcastically.

Good on you sunflower68!  Little acts of anarchy keep me going too.

For one way parking lots, I soetimes drive in the out drive and out the in drive.

In my experience without the barrier thingy the cashier really does believe it is one long never-ending line of shopping, and does try to add it all on. I mean, why would you NOT use a barrier, unless you wanted your shopping added on??!

I like to act suspiciously in big shops to see how long before some security bloke starts to follow me around. Looking at security cameras usually does the trick.

[sunflower68]

Like that one Dom, will defintitely give it a go.

Don't worry Scarlett, I put it on eventually.  I just find people can be very territorial about their conveyor belt space and it's just fun to have something to do in the queue!

Completely ignoring the one way signs in carparks is best and then nabbing a parking space from somebody coming round the right way!

sometimes, when I go to tesco in the eveing I park in the waiting bay. It makes me feel like a real rebel! Parking half a mile away annoys me when all I want to do is buy my ready meal for one.

[woofgang]

if there isn't a barrier thingy, I still put my goods on the conveyor and I take one of the "buy insurance, take a loan, give us your money" leaflets out of the display at the till, fold it lengthwise and use it as a barrier thingy. This always gets at least one smile!!

[milly143]

notice how people only carry out acts of anarchy whilst shopping. hhhhmmmm, interesting.......

[CiderMonkey]

I don't always swipe my monthly Oystercard at the the start and end of my train/tube journey (sometimes the barriers are open).

[smudge]

Aren't some of us we little devils?

I always drive into the exit, at our local Staples/Halfords car park - it's quicker & no one has ever noticed yet!

I also like to park in 'waiting bays' at Supermarkets. If there's an attendant around, I usually smile sweetly & say that only I'm nipping in for a phone card - then re-appear with bags of shopping!

Like Dom - I would love to be pounced on for suspected shop lifting, only to give a smug smile & show them my receipt! The only thing is - I dread when I'm old & crotchety & inadvertantly shop lift. No doubt I'll just smile sweetly & manage to find an excuse then too!

*delete the we  *inadvertently

I got on a train the other day and did'nt pay.  I had intentions of paying at the other end but thought if they ask I'll pay if they don't I won't . they did'nt.....It felt good.

On pay and display car parks a friend of mine used to find a car that has been done, take their ticket from under the wiper, and put it on his car, so it looked like he'd already been done, he said it worked every time coz as soon as the car park attendant saw the ticket under the wiper it looked like he'd been done already! A little naughty.

[jake-the-peg]

It's even more fun to prey on those committing their little acts of anarchy.

Wait till you see somebody on their own in a parent and child parking space loading shopping into their car and rush up to them and say "Oh my God you've lost your child, I'll help you look!"

[luckystrike]

Sometimes when I'm out in the car, I beep the horn and wave to people I don't know, particularly people who are carrying something, like shopping bags for example.  The looks on their faces are usually a picture!

[smudge]

luckystrike - I beeped my horn at a kissing couple on Saturday night. They stopped, looked round & walked on! I often do it!
