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?

My ex was a bit late meeting his dad one day because I was working and had asked him to put a wash on so he didn't go out until it was finished and hung up.
FIL decided to give ex the advice that if he had just done the washing wrong I would never had asked him to do it again and to apply this trick for all household jobs, ex told me about this when he got home.
So next time FIL came over I made his tea wrong and smiled inside while I watched his face screw up as he politely drank his tea
To be fair his advice did work because he never asked for a cup of tea off me again.

I swapped the wires on one side of a double switch so that if you wanted both lights off one switch had to be up while the other was down.

I used to pick my teenage son up from his sporting activity and he was always starving. I said that all he had to do was tell me what he wanted and I could bring it with me.
He answered “ I don’t care, just bring me food” .

I took him a can of baked beans.

From then on he would specify what he wanted.

Voted Brexit, seemed to annoy quite a few, though my target was guardian readers. Mainly

I've got a colleague who's a) a dick and b) uses words wrong ALL the time. People are scared of him because he's quite senior and a hothead so nobody ever picks him up on it, but I always just stand there pretending to not know what he meant and then after a while I go "Ohhhhhh, you mean X" innocently. He hates it and I get a tiny buzz of satisfaction every time.

And our awful neighbour who's unspeakably rude and puts her rubbish in our bin leaves for/gets home from work almost the same time as me. Her house is the last on the street and she is incensed whenever she can't park in the space directly outside her house. I take GREAT pleasure when I get home before her and get to park there and she has to park further down the street.

I think you must have wired my house.

When I was pregnant I had a house mate who kept eating my food out of the fridge and freezer. Even when I told her not too. It drove me crazy as I could only stomach certain things and I’d keep running out, and then I’d have to listen to her going on about her diet, slimming world and how she wants to lose weight constantly!!! Even though she was eating all my food!
So I started baking. I made cupcakes with extra frosting, I made cookies, biscuits, whatever I could think of, extra sugar, no calories spared. I left them in our shared kitchen with a note saying ‘help yourself :) love Bettie’. She gained weight. Don’t mess with a pregnant woman’s snacks!

@amitoooldforthisshit You voted for something you didn’t want just to annoy people?

@Crazysheep

We used to have really inconsiderate neighbours who would let their dog come in to our garden and never come in to clean the poo up. We had it out with them numerous times but nothing changed. My DD discovered one day quite accidentally that if she squeaked her new toy the dog could clearly hear it through our very thin walls and would go crazy barking and yelping. We had great fun moving it from room to room for quite some time.

I'd have been chucking the dog poo back...!

@IDontWishToOffend you can’t expect someone not to drink every weekend in case you needed help when going out. I personally wouldn’t drive after more than a glass of wine.

They probably just though you were drinking their wine!

I had a DP who trerated me badly so I used to sneak out in the night and shit on his gravel drive. He thought it was the neighbours letting their greyhound crap there and he knocked on their door in a state of high dudgeon and had a go at them. It wasn't Geoffrey it was me - the phantom crapper! Happy days!

I might have accidently microwaved my ex employers keys so the flipper didn't work any more. Pure accident though.

That really is an Industrial level of malice , crapping on his drive and blaming a dug

My ex once really annoyed me, so I locked myself in the bathroom and sang Kumbaya. For hours. And when he yelled at me, I sang “someone’s shouting, Lord”. When he begged me to stop, “someone’s pleading, Lord”. 🎶 He saw reason in the end.

Microwaved someone purse for a few seconds just enough that none of the chip & pin worked

Oh, and I had an awful annoying flat mate who used to try to crash in on things any time I had friends round. Nobody could stand him. He was gluten intolerant. We ate a LOT of pizza.

At Christmas there were Where’s Wally advent calendars in the shops and when I was with MIL I’d look at it for two seconds and say “found him” and she’d say don’t tell me, I can find him, how do you do it so quick? 🤣

If my husbands being a pain, I put him a weaning spoon in his packed lunch box for work instead of a spoon when he had meeting over lunch(before COVID)

Simple yet devastatingly effective and sends the right message I feel.

Some of these are funny, but others make me wonder why bother being in a relationship with your dp if you're going to be so immature and horrible to them. Why not just tell them what they've done to piss you off?

@underneaththeash , that's what you took from Idontwishtooffends post? It spunds more like she had a couple of selfish, alcoholic parents and was a bit neglected as a child.

@IDontWishToOffend

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!

Simultaneously brilliant and desperately sad. Bless you.

@WeatherwaxOn firstly I was going to say lmao, imagine asking for a new phone because yours tastes funny
I had an ex like the last guy too acted as if my choosing to wear flat cavas shoes as a personal snub failed to appreciate I was 'otherwise' entirely dressed up in a DRESS. His inability to recognise a compromise and red flags about him being a potential control freak are exactly why I LTB!

I first got pretty drunk at his Xmas work do and made him awkward sandwich hug his arch nemesis in his company because shouldn't we all just be nice and get along his 'friend' definitely knew it was worth it just knowing how difficult my stiff neck ex was finding it to cope with my more than merry, excitable behaviour that night

@underneaththeash erm, they were alcoholics. Sorry if that wasn't clear. This was every night, not just the weekends. They still begin drinking at 12pm every day and as a result never visit me because they don't want to drive. They would rather drink than one of them be sober.

@hiredandsqueak I have just, very sedately, lost it at that. Nothing dramatic, I just quietly sniggered so much I slid down the chair.

This thread is obviously winding you up @Iamthewombat so why don't you do yourself and us a favour and stop reading it
