What little things do you do to annoy people?

[DokiNaku 31]

Slightly annoying other people generally brightens up my day a little bit. I guess you could say I have a slightly more mischievous nature. 

• I like to follow traffic rules to the letter. Full stops at stop signs, driving UNDER the posted speed limit by about a mile or two, and always remaining one to two car distances away from other vehicles. These habits seem to drive the people behind me mad!
• I like to look people in the eyes when I talk to them or if we are in direct contact with each other. I work at a grocery store and during that small silence between when the customer pays with their card and the machine is processing their information I will look at them with a small smile on my face. Often they will look at me and quickly look away or keep eye contact long enough to figure out I am not about to look away and they will soon find something else "interesting" to focus their attention on. It's like a little game for me and it really helps pass the time!

So what about you, how do you like to annoy your fellow human beings? 

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

that annoys people? I do the same as you but i go a littler farther.

 

1. I poot when people are to close to me just to annoy them
2. i wear offensive clothing(band tees and boots)
3. I am slow to accelerate when driving(saves gas)
4. I blast my music in parking lots
5. I swear up and down the block

I usually just try to make funny jokes at people that I hate. Or at least, try to piss them off for fun. I try not to be too much of a jerk, but for comedy it is so funny.

[TwilizzleFoShizzle 95]

1. TWSS at all times

everything is a meme reference

explaining everything in the most complex terms possible, usually expressing even things like toast using trigonometric functions

constantly leaving doors open but yelling at others when they leave my door open

buying 200 dollar headphones and never wearing them just because I need an excuse to play music through my speakers

bass guitar at 3am

really, REALLY loud voice

using shift key for extended capital letter statements and caps lock for single letters

deleting system32 on people's computers

downloading a bunch of porn to peoples school computer accounts

I like to tickle and generally molest my closest friends. My girlfriend reminded me  that I also like to use "the chickens" on her (pointer and middle finger together, tapping around the collar bone and neck, heh heh.) I also use sarcasm in a way that it often goes undetected and I trick people into silly things. Like I tricked a classmate in Tech School to look up the movie "Borker" (as opposed to the movie "Parker") and I fooled my sister into thinking that the eject button was the play button one time. Also, I like grabbing other people's stuff so that they will look for it. I just like being obnoxious in general sometimes

It is always fun to be polite and friendly to those who do not like you. I have a few co-workers who hate me. In return I over exaggerate my smiles and hellos to sound uber-friendly. You can tell it just makes their skin crawl.

The others bit were just fine but I'm sure the possibility of potential sexual assault and petty thievery would annoy me just as well.

I wish I could do that but every time I fake a smile I either end up looking like a child molester or a serial killer, you seriously have to be a master in the art of bullshit to pull that off and that isn't exactly my first language. There was once this checker I worked with who could do that and I would have loved to jam my fist down his fat gossipy mouth seriously the only person I hated more than this jackass was the lying scum at corporate who suspended and almost fired me for some technicality I am not at liberty to discuss here.

 

I suppose the only things I can think of off the top of my head I do that can annoy people is that I tend to be extremely blunt and have a habit of saying things people often don't want to hear and generally running my mouth off at some inopportune times. When it comes to telling the truth I can often be like Applejack on steroids, seriously if there is something I don't like I say it loud and clear.

[DokiNaku 31]

Don't take this the wrong way but that is something you'll want to master not doing as life goes along. It may be different for you but that is merely my experience. I find that people tend to be blunt in their own ways as well as stubborn and you can jump a lot of major social roadblocks by doing your best to smile and march on.

 

But when you're around honest friends, don't ever stop telling the truth!  

[Mutemutt 773]

Nothing too malicious. 

 

- call me cousin a nickname he despises

- immediately turn on the group if the plan I was in on goes wrong. It usually goes something like " *Gasp* I can't believe you would do something like this. For shame" *look of disapproval*

- Talk to my younger cousin in japanese and put on a why-aren't-you-answering face when he constantly tell me to stop talking in japanese.

- Lean my head on my sister's shoulder. She always shoves me away and says "Uh-Uh, you never let me do that" XD

- Steal someone's seat during movies (only my family members though)

-Talk lots of trash when I'm winning

 

These aren't something I do but I did have friends who did these at one point:

- Flipping people's backpacks inside out.

- Entering my personal space. I don't know if was doing it on purpose but he would constantly stand really close when we talked. Everytime I backed up a bit, he come close again. That seriously bugged me.

I love pissing of the YouTube trolls and haters. I'll act like I'm gonna fall for their shit and pretend to get enraged, and then I'll turn the tables on them.

This is an example of quality time spent on YouTube by the way.

Trolls trolling trolls who are in turn trolling trolls. Did it ever occur to you they are getting the same amount of enjoyment out of it?

Yep, but I'm also trolling the trolls that are trolling the trolls trolling the trolls.

 

That makes sense right? I thought it made sense anyway.

Nah, you'd love it. Everyone I ever do this stuff to always loves it, oh so much. And you know why they love it oh so much? .... ....

 

.....BECAUSE I TELL THEM THEY LOVE IT OH SO MUCH

[Dr. Love 88]

I just be myself, making smartass remarks and sarcastic comments comes naturally to me, i can easily make fun of anything, which is why i don't tend to talk to people who can't take a joke.

[Celtore 2,770]

- Puns everywhere! It makes me so happy to hear the groans from a bad pun!

- Driving exactly the speed limit. This is reserved for tailgaters and just generally jerks.

- Be overly cheerful to people who appear to be in a grumpy mood (ex: airport security. I once made a border guy smile.)

 

And I think that's pretty much it, other than whistling an extremely catchy song with the intent of getting it stuck in other people's heads.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,558]

Voin puhua kielellä, jota he eivät tietenkään puhu.

 

 

^ I do that.

 

Beyond that, there is nothing that I actively do, but I do not leave my house much. (Hurray for autism and severe social anxiety!) Those things may have saved my life.

[Pan the Fabulous Ferret 2,642]

Why on earth would I WANT to annoy someone on purpose. That is sickening of a thought. I only live to make others happy. O)_(O hmmmm

[Golurk 468]

I LOVE a good trollin'. I take nearly every opportunity I can to (non-maliciously) troll my friends and some family members, depending on the situation. And they love me for it. 

 

I also have a tendency to put my hand on someone's shoulder when I talk to them, to establish a "connection." Some people don't like that. But, I still do it anyway. 

 

Unless I'm in a hurry, I follow traffic rules by the book. Quite frankly, the people behind me should be happy; I'm keeping them from speeding!

 

And, let's not forget that I've got a bunch of weird joints in my left hand that I enjoy clicking. Quite often. Loudly. Grosses some people out, but I do stop if asked. 

[Goose 181]

I always address people I email with weird names...

 

Hey fufu! How are yufu?

 

Hey snookums, how was your day?

 

Hello there big momma duckling

 

Sometimes I'll pretend not to comprehend something, or repeat a task back

 

Them: "Hey, can you get that for me?"

Me: "Can I get that for you????" *waits for confirmation of getting things for them*

[Tumar 1]

Something I do that irritates/scares my family and friends is that I don't really have a bounce when I walk and I'm light on my feet, so I basically glide around places like a phantom.  I'll be sitting on the couch one minute and when they focus on something else I'll move and sometimes get behind them. My family says I should be in horror films. xD

[Telegraph 115]

Something I forgot to mention before is that this one time, I was talking to my friend that I used to live with. She wanted kids a lot, but she made some comment about how painful birthing twins would be. So I told her she was gonna have quadruplets. And she was like "Nuuuuu!" And I was like "Yer gonna have QUADRUPLETS." And she was like "><" And I'd tell her that periodically. And it got shortened to QUADRUPLETS. And now I tell Dodie16 that too sometimes, except I'd be wishing that upon myself too, so...

 

....QUADRUPLETS.

[DoctorWhovian1902 596]

Considering where I come from I'm basically the only Brony, just mentioning MLP is a sure-fire way to annoy other people in the room. It's never failed.

Because nothing says "I love you" more than pushing all their buttons   . I really only purposefully annoy those that I care about which is why my post mostly deals with family members.

[Clover Heart 978]

These aren't things I do on purpose, but I think that the way I speak annoys people. I have a hard time getting to the point of something, sometimes. I'm a details kind of person. I tend to focus on the details and miss the big picture. So I end up telling tons of back story when really, I could've finished my point 5 minutes earlier by just giving the most important part. I also have a very hard time being direct. Living in Japan, when it's common for people to be rather indirect, I don't have so much of a problem with this. However, when I'm in America, I think people get really annoyed that I just don't get to the point. Which, in turn, annoys me. My thinking is that if they were actually listening, they'd naturally conclude what it is I'm trying to say. Do I have to freaking spell out everything for you? Another thing I think annoys people is that I speak rather slowly. Not that my pacing is slow, but that I pause a lot, and have a lot of trouble finding the words I want to use. (This is why I like the internet. I can take all the time I need.) In turn, again, though, this annoys me as well, because people will try and guess what I want to say rather than just allowing me to speak. When the thing I'm trying to say is obvious, okay, whatever. (e.g. "They left Santa some milk and... and... uh..." "Cookies?" I'm okay with.) However, I get people just randomly guessing at very not obvious things, and it's one after another, which doesn't allow me to think of what it was I actually wanted to say, and this whole process takes so much longer because the other person was too impatient to give me a moment to collect my thoughts and continue speaking. Sorry, I know this topic isn't about what annoys me.

 

Speaking of slowness, I'm just slow in general. I do things slowly. If I have to do things quickly, I tend to panic and rush and make mistakes. Not to mention majorly spiking my stress level. And I feel like this tends to annoy people. That seems to be more common here in Japan, so it's not so bad. But in America, I can just see people getting annoyed at for being slow at basically everything.

[Keylise<3 488]

I never really try to annoy people on purpose. Although I have a bad habit of interrupting peoples sentences. People really get angry at me for that :c
