Your favourite rubbish acts of rebellion

I'm going to wear shorts tomorrow, whether I'm allowed or not.

you don't wear shoes? Stick it to the man!!!

gav you actually did that? you rock. take a picture. You can cut out your head for libcom showing if you want.

yeah but you're well proley cos you work in a pen factory.

aye, but i'm a precarious agency office boy in a pen factory, i personify the condition of the contemporary proletariat

I was involved in a particularly inept rooftop protest against the Poll Tax. The street the building was on was so narrow, that no-one could see us.

Take that, Thatcher. And, indeed, capital.

well, re. stationery distribution i actually 'liberated' 40 envelopes, 40 double-sided photocopies and 40 first class stamps this morning in the interests of the class war

anyway i think i've already told people elsewhere on libcom about my most useless act of defiance, which must have been my and about four mates' go-slow against the G8 2005 when we ended up actually working faster than we normally would have done, and got commended by our manager for it

KERPOW!

That's not too rubbish conor, I mean at least you had a laugh. Supergluing atm's might be less cool though.

I lived in a peace camp in Madrid during the Iraq war, plenty of sun, weed and whiskey dunno how it was meant to stop the war though.

True we did have a laugh, and I got a free pair of detention shoes from the copshop

Two decades back I temp worked in London taking apart a factory that was being shipped north to where wages were cheaper (this was the actual reason given). From what I could piece together there had been a small riot in the factory when this was announced but that was some weeks before we arrived and the old workforce was mostly gone. So a couple of us sabotaged the operation by
1. Breaking things as we packed them - thousands of smashed bulbs, dented panels and bent bars headed north.
2. Boxing stuff in ways that would make unboxing a nightmare (eg cutting the bottoms out of boxes of 1000 loose screws before putting them down)
3. Loading pallets onto trucks in weird ways that would make unloading difficult (eg all the weight on one side and you get two people to stand on the other as you forklift the pallet in).

By the time they got rid of us there were something like 80 container lorries jammed up in the carpark at the other end.

The fact that the boss was an anti-Irish bigot who insisted on calling us all 'Charlie' made it all the better. His bigotry was essential to the whole thing as on the few occasions he noticed anything he just presumed we were thick or lazy and assigned me to floor sweeping duty for a few hours as punishment.

You harsh bastards.

He didn't give us a tip. Dr. J's kids luggage was safe cause he gave us 50 bucks a piece, soda and cookies.

Its rubbish because for all the fucking up it did it was a pretty poor semi individual response to the situation - lots of punk points but not much purpose. I may have misunderstood 'favorite' though - I read it to read 'best' or 'most amusing' acts whereas maybe you were thinking 'most rubbish'.

Under most rubbish when they introduced CCTV to Dublin a group of us spent hours fly posting 'your are being watched' posters all over the place.

That's pretty rubbish. The attack on the colombian embassy wasn't too hot either.

At university we stuck some poster of something fairly innocuous (i forget what) on our kitchen window on campus looking out so everyone could see it. Some jobsworth ripped it down, so i kept buying posters i found for sale in the union that just said 'FUCK OFF' in massive letters and sticking them up for him every day. when I ran out of money i started making my own.

oh and when my mates' rooms got raided for drugs i went outside to the security van where the campus security guys doing the raiding had come from and smashed eggs all over the windscreen

That's fucked up, he was in Ghostbusters man, he doesn't owe you shit. I was lurking, and you made me log in just to say that.

Just you. You cool cat.
