Tiny acts of anarchy

[Arch]

What's the tiniest thing you do to upset the system?

Currently mine is:

I don't like the new coin designs. It annoys me that they are designed to match up, but being circular, they don't tesselate.

So, whenever I get one in my change, I'm taking it out of circulation, by leaving it on my sideboard.

Sooner or later, I suppose I'll need the money, but until then, every coin is a tiny victory...

How petty can you get?

This question is an Arch 'why'?

 

[Night Train]

Arch, if you want to really get it out of circulation send it to me and I will make sure it is properly disposed of for you.

Dont know why they designed new coins, we`ll be joining the euro soon anyway!

I occasionally jump red lights (only those ones on roundabouts) in my artic at 3 in the morning. Alright, I know this is probably not petty for some of you, but FFS, we're perfectly capable of doing roundabouts without traffic lights and I can see there's nothing coming. It just annoys me that every time I stop at lights I have to set off all over again, doing maybe 2 to the gallon if I'm loaded up.
It's not the most anarchic thing ever, but it is a little more anarchic than keeping coins on your mantlepiece!

When working away from home, I don't bother folding my folding bike when I take it up to my office or hotel room!

I have an HSBC account with 1p in it, it has been like that for 8 years... all the money they spend sending me statements, literature and other stuff is in someway pay back for the charges when I was a student!

For the time being the coinage we have now can easily double up as euros. 1p= 1cent, 2p, 5p 10p etc. 1£=1euro and so on.

LOL! I like that one johnnyh! That would amuse the hell out of me too!

I don't think I'm anarchic in any way, shape or form.... not that I'm aware anyway.

And you didn't fold it at tdr1nka towers either.
*suspects Landers has welded Brompton for fear it folds mid ride!!:wink*

my girlfreind has to have everything in order and in a certain place, i make a point of choosing a particular item and then move it to a different location or place it at a different angle.

The best example is mixing the tins up in the cupboard so that the chopped tomatoes are on top of the beans and not stacked on top of eachother in a uniformed manner.

Whilst this does not upset the world order it does bug the living daylights out of the other half, which is fun.

We had an yearly pack from them the other day and the missus is starting to worry that I still giggle and walk off saying "that cost 'em"

I think I do that unwittingly. My wife likes things in their place and I can never be bothered, or remember, or think it matters. So I invariably put things away in the wrong place, just through not thinking.

I'm still trying to think of anything I do deliberately with anarchy as motivation... and I can't think of a damned thing... seriously. I must get out more!

Highly unlikely.

The Euro is on the verge of collapse along with the Spanish economy to name just one. The Germans are more likely to ditch the Euro than we are to join it.
