For a graph G, we define a small automorphism as one that maps some vertex into its neighbour. We investigate the edge colourings of G that break every small automorphism of G. We show that such a colouring can be chosen from any set of lists of length three. In addition, we show that any set of lists of length two on both edges and vertices of G yields a total colouring which breaks all the small automorphisms of $G$. These results are sharp and they match the non-list variants.
