Tiny acts of anarchy

[cchapman]

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!

Have you thought that it is the current students who are paying for all the bumpf you are receiving? And that rather than being an anarchic act, it is actually perpetuating the system?

 

[johnnyh]

yeah but now I am older and wiser, and obviously much grumpier, I dislike students and they deserve all they get

hahaha life eh!

I dunno. I had a student bank account with HSBC for several years, and never paid a penny in charges - I got a free £1500 overdraft and a 3 year rail card.

I'm now on a graduate account, and still not paying any charges...

I like to remove the unwanted packaging from stuff I buy in the supermarket and leave it at the checkout. Pizza boxes, cereal boxes, outer wrapping from multipacks of stuff. Those silly plastic hooks that Morrisons likes to fit to bananas.

Sometimes it can take a few minutes, and someone has to come specially to take away all the packaging.

Supermarkets don't like you leaving without buying anything, do they? They make it very difficult with barriers and turnstiles and what-have-you. They even employ a bloke in a uniform to glare suspiciously at you as you leave.

Well, sometimes I can't find what I want, so I leave without buying anything.

In coffee bars and fast food places I always ask for 'small', 'medium' or 'large' instead of 'regular(tm)', 'super(tm)', 'tall(tm)' or whatever other nonsense descriptor from the book of retail b*llocks they've stuck on the price list.

I go in through the exit and out through the entrance.

I once bought a return ticket -- but didn't come back!!!!

 

[Landslide]

I once bought a single ticket, even though I've got a girlfriend.

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

All adverts for everything irritate me, and they always get muted.

I nick fruit from the canteen at my workplace. You can't do that in an artic - it would definitely be noticed...

True, but you can nick a lot of fruit.

If they say do you want it "regular" I say - no only once please.

And I never call it whatever they call it in Italian "Moccochoolatte" or whatever. I just ask for a black coffee.
