Oh no you didn't! 30 acts of rebellion that will make your day

THEY'RE life's little rebellions - like jaywalking or taking the lift during a fire drill. Here are 30 small acts of defiance that will make your day.

Take that, world! Picture: Thinkstock

YESTERDAY, we had a fire drill at work.

I was one of the last out of the office, and instead of heading to the fire stairs to walk the 25 flights down to the meeting point, I jumped into the lift. Yep - I made it to the bottom floor in twenty seconds flat with not a bead of sweat on my brow. And you know what? It felt good. Great, in fact.

Now I will be the first to admit that, by nature, I am not rebellious. At. All. In fact that lift trick was one of my most rebellious acts ever.

But before you judge, you have to admit you cannot deny the feeling of exhilaration you get when you do something you know you weren't necessarily supposed to do. Because we all need something to get us through the day, right?

So, here are 30 of life's little rebellious acts. Some are my own, some are from others in the news.com.au office. If you can identify with any of these, share your own experiences below.
