What tiny things have you done to specifically annoy someone?

[FlyingSoHigh]

My Mil came from a pretty wealthy family and definitely saw herself as a 'cut above' most people.
So I always used to chop carrots into rounds when she came for a meal as I knew she thought it was 'common'; posh people always cut carrots into sticks.
It was a tiny thing but it gave me so much pleasure over the years.
Can anyone beat passive-aggressive cooked carrots?

If DH has annoyed me I use the rubbish pegs to hang out his washing and hog all the good pegs for my clothes.

It's a little power trip that makes me chuckle in an evil fashion.

Once had a horrible colleague who was very arrogant, with terrible attitudes to female colleagues. He went for promotion and a woman got the job over him and became our boss. He was very critical of her, and I got the greatest satisfaction from continually praising her to the skies, and constantly reminding him of her authority 'oh I think you might want to run that past Emma, she is so good at (that thing you think you're good at) her (thing you usually do and are proud of) is the best I've ever seen' He could barely contain his rage.

This is quite mild but when were renovating the interior of our house, our builder/decorator, who did a great job btw, was really opinionated about my choices of colours. He thought all interiors should be neutral. he particularly hated my choice of dark red for the dining room, with black chandeliers (it was rather Edgar Allen Poe I admit). We chose a fairly neutral colour for the kitchen and he was visibly relieved that I had finally been sensible.

After that I made some rather bold choices just because it amused me to see how horrified he would be. I have a lovely teal study, raspberry bedroom and plum coloured bathroom. I actually love them and am quite pleased I pushed myself out of my comfort zone, even if it was originally to amuse myself at winding someone up. The customer is always right!

I'm glad that you actually like the colour scheme you've ended up with in your house because this is absolutely bizarre .

@Rockmehardplace omg that made me actually LOL and I've mentally saved that one for next time DH is being a 🛎🔚

I enjoy to connect my phone to the TV, then play rai music while others are watching.

I always cut into batons cos I’m dead posh I asked DS to help me prep the veg for dinner. After much teenage huffing and puffing about why he had to do it, he did, but cut them into rounds. I know realise he was passive aggressively telling me to shove my carrots.

The best annoyance is putting a potato in the underwear, while they are asleep.

@SaharaFlower I love that. Early on in our marriage I was very annoyed with DH for coming home in a state. He fell fast asleep and I delicately placed an egg just inside his pants zipper and waited...

Sent someone a present in an Amazon box, even though it didn’t come from Amazon, just because I knew they would disapprove.

I know I must have done quite a few petty things to annoy an arsehole or several over the years but I'm coming up blank right now, so, instead here's a favourite from someone I worked with decades again and is so genius that I've never forgotten it.

So, work colleague is going to a party with a male friend of hers. The party is being held by a woman who desperately wants to get it on with colleague's male friend. Grand, colleague has no fucks to give about that as he and she really are just friends. Get it on woman, however, has decided that colleague is competition so decides to pretend to forget colleague's name and keep asking her to repeat it. Colleague has a really easy to remember the name, let's call her Sarah, so it's clear that this is some passive-aggressive bullshit move on the part of Get it on woman.

The evening draws on and it's really becoming deeply annoying, so, the next time get it on woman asks for the twelfthy-millionth time "Oh what was your name again, haha, I just keep forgetting!" Colleague said in quite a loud voice and into her face "Bunty!".

Get it on woman's face is a picture of "What the fuck do I do now!" and my colleague had the smile of the cat that got the cream. It was silly, petty and hilarious. Best of all, colleague's male friend thought that get it on woman was a bit of a twat because of her behaviour and get it on woman never got to get it on with him. If she hadn't played the arsehole all night she and he might have ended up together but she blew it.

My DC have been annoying the shite out of me for hours. They don't know that I'm going to play Among Us on my phone the entire time they twat about not going to sleep upstairs. Its their favourite game and they have very limited supervised use of it, it would drive them fucking insane if they knew I was playing it. Haha.

DH moaned a bit about WandaVision to start off with but then got into it. Every week without fail I would watch it in the morning so I had seen it before him and said nothing. Only told him after the finale. He was aghast

@Amima

I have a tiny gadget the size of my thumb that beeps and chirps at random intervals. Its sole purpose is to annoy people. The sound is short and irregular so the gadget is difficult to locate. When DH annoys me I turn it on and hide it somewhere. Been doing it for ten years and he’s never found it yet. He was particularly puzzled when we moved house and the mysterious chirp came with us!

Where would I get such a thing? I need this in my life immediately

Previous colleague used to call vegan food rabbit chow and be disparaging
For Macmillan I made a whole selection of cakes, brownies,blondies. All utterly vegan and made with dairy substitutes. The moany ole goat scoffed with gusto,praised and even took some home for their kids

All utterly vegan and made with dairy substitutes. Superb to tell them it was vegan

@Rockmehardplace

If DH is annoying me, I transfer £1 into his bank account with references like “uraw*nker”. Petty but makes me happy.

That's bloody brilliant!

A colleague everyone disliked for his bullying nature and homophobic attitudes. Bought him one of this glitter bomb cards as his leaving card covering him in glitter.

@PunchedTit4ASoul

After I split with my ex for cheating and robbing me blind I had an old Nokia that you could set a voice note as a ring tone. I recorded myself shouting "Danny has a tiny cock!" as a ring tone and "I'm using my phone look!" for text messages. Then I sewed it into his precious Ralph Lauren duffle coat. I was super nice to him and had all his stuff waiting for him. (I think he thought I was caving in). The next day me and my friends repeatedly rang and text the phone. He was furious and threatened to sue me saying he got into trouble with his boss. He then said "Don't think for a second I'm giving you the phone back!" I said he could come for the charger so he hung up

brilliant!

A woman I used to work with told me that she had "set her pet rabbits free in the woods" a month prior. I went and looked for them after work but obviously never found them.
We shared an office and I spent the next few weeks cracking my knuckles and sniffing loudly (which I knew she HATED) and saying "no no, I'm fine" to her increasingly pained offers of tissues.
I know she deserved worse.

My parents both drank far too much when I was a child and teenager. Far far too much and as a result when I phoned them because I needed help, they couldn't because they had been drinking. That was the case every single evening.

In a fit of annoyance (and desperation I think) I began pouring out their cider and wine and gradually watering it down. Every night I would pour a little more out of their stash and replace it with tap water.

I'm stunned they never realised or if they did they were probably too ashamed to mention it. Sometimes I poured our half a bottle and replaced it. Must have tasted so odd!

I deliberately removed all the coasters from the kitchen drawer to stop MIL getting them all out constantly when she visits. I hate coasters and my MIL is obsessed by them. Not even sure how we ended up with so many given neither dh or I ever use or buy them.

When DH is annoying me I make myself a cup of tea and use his favourite mug for my drink and give him a rubbish one

I had to deal with an estate agent abroad who kept misspelling my name, despite my constantly correcting him. His name was Clint and I got so fed up with it that I replied to one of his email starting with Dear Cunt.

My husband has never once made me dinner (save for some toast when I'm poorly) so I always give him the chips that are least cooked as I know he prefers a crispy chip. This also goes for the pop tarts with the least icing on and broken biscuits.

@EspressoDoubleShot if I start a thread mocking vegan food will you send me a box of brownies and blondies to annoy me?

When the dc got bored of their Tamagotchis now exh obsessively took over their care. Absolutely everything from meals to conversations had to be delayed or put on hold whilst he fed the Tamagotchis. Each time he annoyed me I'd kill the Tamagotchi by overfeeding it.

@MyFloorIsLava of course I will!
