Complaining
I like writing letters of complaint to companies containing the words "premier league muppetry", if only to give the poor office workers a good laugh on an otherwise dull day. Have you ever complained? Did it work?

I used to write one complaint letter per week
back when I was a student I discovered that at the time Tesco didn't care if you bought the product or not to honour any coupons, plus companies would happily buy your silence with a free products or £5 off coupon etc.
So I made it a mission to once a week turn my 2nd class stamp into a few quid off my groceries by complaining about something, anything.
This includes Terry's chocolate orange bars being much smaller than their wrapper, so the product took up disproportional shelf space and led to a dissappointing purchase!
Also salt and shake crisps missing the bag of salt, McDonalds drive through with a messy bag that "might" have stained my passenger seat etc etc.
Yes complaining often won't change the world but it can turn a small profit :-)
