Tiny acts of anarchy

[Chuffy]

If I find myself in MacDonalds I always order chips.

I drive my car at 30 in the 30 zone. I really enjoy the way it obviously irritates the driver behind.

When I go shopping I walk past the self service tills and vehemently oppose the beckoning of the operative to use one.

 

[Piemaster]

I RLJ pedestrian crossings that no one is using 'cos they couldn't be bothered to wait and had already crossed.

I press the button on pedestrian crossings that I'm not going to use, so that the people five minutes behind me won't have to wait that five minutes in the rain to cross the road. If they would change the sequences so that they change straightaway, I would stop doing it.

Damn right. Shops seem to forget they are there to seve their customers

 

[John Ponting]

Why do they have operatives at self service tills? They might as well make themselves usefull and serve customers.

Well, yes, so do I!

Surely that's a tiny act of law-abiding-ness, rather than anarchy?

It would be anarchy if you deliberately drove at 31 mph.

I put telesales people on hold whever they call.

Sometimes I just awnser the phone with a "I was so lonely, finally someone to talk to, will you be my friiieeeeennnnd?"

 

[johnnyh]

I had a telesales call yesterday, I think it is an energy company since they have left messages in the last week. I told the fella I was short of time and to please get on and state his business... he hung up.

I hate the way that utility companies always set the direct debits too high. So I phone them up and demand a refund, by cheque, and threaten to do this every month until they reduce the debit to the amount I'm actually using.

If you get telesales, put the phone down but don't hang up. I like to say how long they will carry on talking to thin air.

Given that everyone else speeds, in practice I reckon driving at 30 is anarchy. I really enjoy seeing a huge queue of cars behind me!

 

[alecstilleyedye]

i made sure i rode at a minimum of 16mph over the forth road bridge, because there was a posted bike speed limit of 15.

Occassionally I contemplate putting the junk leaflets delivered by the postie back in the postbox.

I like this idea - I know you can hand them back to the postman but I have a really nice one and I wouldn't want to get him in trouble or make him carry extra stuff whereas the guy in the van I don't mind giving him a bit extra work.

Oh, I also go in the exits at car parks and drive against the arrows. I'll also drive around them for ages, passing lots of spaces, until I find one I 'like'.

Hmm... you would be the one I stand in the middle of the entrance with my bike and try and explain slowly that the exit is the other one.

If I find a car in the ASL ... especially if I saw it enter it after the lights turned red, then I go and occupy the middle of the box (or infront of the box if necessary). When the lights change I get my gears wrong or something and takes me absolutely ages to pull away.

Are you my 92 year old neighbour by any chance? He seems to take great delight in holding up other traffic....
