Tiny acts of anarchy

[4F]

If I get junk mail that contains a free-post envelope, I remove my address, rip up the mail and post it back to them.

+ 1 Another game though is to save some up and return the free post in the other companies envelopes.

If I am watching TV alone (as it annoys Mrs OTH) I change channels whent the ads come on. Then I am getting the programme for nothing!

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.

I like that a lot. Will try that :0)

A couple of people have stuck it to my boss when they left. The best one was a guy in the design department who binned loads of disks and files in the days before he left so that the work would have to be redone. They recon that over the years it would cost the company about thirty grand to redo all the work as it came up!

My boss got the police in and they went to see the guy etc but there was nothing they could do. He denied it and there was no way to prove it was him as anyone in the office could have done it. My boss was livid, he was even talking about getting some thugs to beat the guy up! :0)

Your boss sounds like a pleasant sort of chap.

Those black socks with coloured bits on the toes. Matching them up seems like too much effort, so I wear odd colours. Also because it really annoys Mrs. Z.

PZ.

My late boyfriend was an odd sock wearer - he liked to test people's reaction to it. Someone once gave him, for Christmas, a set of socks with the days of the week on, and he complained that now he not only had to wear non-matching pairs, but that he had to make sure neither was the right day....

I'm quite impressed by the level of petty anarchy on here, well done.

BTW, that thing about not stacking tins together is alright, unless like me you buy Basics Beans and Basics Tomatoes, and don't look at the label carefully before you open the tin. I've only made the mistake of opening a tin of tomatoes for my lunchtime beans-on-toast once.

Ah, saved! Thank you people. I've just realised I do do some things that might be classed as tiny anarchism... though I'm pretty sure it's not my actual motivation.

I mute adds on the tele... if they are ones that just irritate me. Singing, dancing bank officers etc are guaranteed to get muted.

I also turn programs off that I loathe and think 'I'm not contributing to viewing/listening figures'.

I refer to some re-branded products by their old name; marathon will always be marathon. Though I suspect that's more force of habit than anarchy.

I fit Dexys Midnight Runners lyrics into my lectures.... Keeps me amused, anyway. Nobody's ever noticed or said owt.

My professor has a tendency to use Gary Larson cartoons to illustrate points....

I sometimes make a point of going into Tescos. Just to use the bog.

I was once househunting, the missus was unable to make it. The estate agent gave me the key to a property and let me go myself to have a look (it was empty of furniture etc). I had an overwhelming desire to "park my breakfast", so to speak, and there was some bogroll there. So I did

I expect it's desperately uncool, but I love tinned tomatoes on toast.

I was going to say that I sometimes RLJ, but now that I know that RT does it in an artic, I feel outdone. I nick fruit from the canteen at my workplace. You can't do that in an artic - it would definitely be noticed...

What do you lecture in? Gypo bands of the 80s.

It's not that it's uncool, I just don't like tinned tomatoes unless they are made into something like a sauce.

(it wasn't a waste, I just decanted the tin into a tupperware and kept it in the fridge. One tin lasts me three meals as it is, so I'm used to keeping the leftovers.)
