little acts of anarchy
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.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.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.
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!!
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.
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!
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........
