Tiny acts of anarchy

[Cubist]

I once sellotaped a freepost envelope to a HUGE pile of old newspaper, took it back to the post office and posted it back to the slimeball catalogue company it came from. It easily weighed twenty kilos.

When the League Against Cruel Sports introduced a freepost address for donations, an awful lot of people in the hunting world decided what they really needed was a few bricks, pieces of walling stone and so on. Clarkson is supposedly on record as offering to donate a pair of paving slabs. I remember the news article which followed a few months later where the bill topped some excruciatingly huge figure, and the govt decided to bail them out!
Here's just one of the pieces you'll find if you google the event:

I always address stuff to where I used to live in Twickenham....... to Middlesex.
AND the stamp goes on upside down. (as has been mentioned)

Following on from Mortiroloboy's rant....

I have been known to infiltrate cinemas equipped with my own refreshments. In one case, several cans of cider, a bottle of wine and a brace of goblets to drink from. Do you have any idea how hard it is to remove a cork without it going 'pop'?

When people insist on sticking dead on the speed limit, I enjoy putting my head lights on full beam and sitting on their bumpers.

No you don't enjoy it, it just means that you are getting stressed, wound-up and aggressive.

I take great pleasure in slamming my brakes on for imaginary unicorns crossing the road whenever some twunt sits on my bumper with their main beams on.

I sometimes swap the stickers round in the reduced bin to get silly cheap cheese. Though thats more shoplifting if I am honest.

Was it someone on here who when writing to an address in Scotland, puts 'care of England' before the postcode at the bottom of the address?

That caused no end of amusement on our shoot, but some complained that collecting all those old Yellow Pages to post was quite a effort.

shoplifting?? if you are honest??

I pay all my bills on direct debits except the Water. They really annoy me by charging too much and over the last couple of years they hiked up their price by loads to "make improvements". I dont see why I should pay for their infrastructure up front.

So I bin the bill, bin the red one and pay when the really nasty one comes through.

I did hear of someone who wrote "and not a penny more" on his cheques to rip of utilities.

Well that would be me.

I did that with what was then called 'rates'.......... 1200 quid for shite services I really begrudged paying that.
Services are better now though..............still hate stumping up for it................?.......................hold on a min. ...........the mrs pays the council tax. :?:

I feel better already.

Obtaining goods by deception. Maximum penalty: 10 years imprisonment.

Legally, no, that's not shoplifting. In the eyes of the law it is not the shop who is offering something for you to buy... it is the buyer who is making the offer to buy something at a particular price.

You are simply making a different offer for a good, and if they don't take issue with this, then the transaction is good.

 

[CopperBrompton]

The law disagrees with you :-)

You are free to offer a different price; you're not free to deceive the store staff into thinking that the store management has set a different price.

Milo didn't say that he wasn't the shop owner, though.
