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?

These office ones have reminded me that at one office christmas party many years ago, someone brought a small, inflatable remote-controlled santa, about 2 feet tall. It was the most ridiculous piece of tat but it was fun and three of us who were sitting down at a table were playing with the controls and making santa dance around the dancefloor. Lots of people didn't realise it was remote controlled, they thought it was just clockwork or something and moving around randomly. We hit upon the wheeze of making it target and follow one person - not someone annoying, just a random punter. it followed this bloke all over the dancefloor until he began to get seriously pissed off/alarmed and went to sit down, then we made it follow him to his seat and try to cuddle up to him. In the end we had to fess up as he was getting really freaked out.

I still feel a bit bad tbh but we were young and daft!

My pet hate is people having loud phone calls on train/bus (pre COVID). I managed to get a phone jammer. I just switch it on for a peaceful journey.

Also used it in meetings when some thought their phone was more important than the meeting.

@Penners99 that must surely be illegal? What if someone need to be contacted in the event of an emergency?

On the rare occasion dh pisses me off I'll 'accidentally' flush the loo/put the dishwasher/washing machine on when he's in the shower. He does a weird noise when the shower temp changes 😂

Really? You think people don't have the right to make/receive calls?

I used to work in a department the head of which was a twat. He used to try to impress people by emailing around copies of his letters to important clients and other organisations we worked with. However, he never bothered to proofread them first. I ever so kindly proof-read them for him and returned the corrected copy using "Reply all", saying I was sure he wouldn't mind but I'd noticed a few typos because of course it was essential that the important recipients should get an immaculate copy. He could hardly deny it and it wound him up a treat.

I won't play games with tail gaters , Id much rather have them in front of me .

The ones that piss me off are the Mid Lane Hoggers .
I was on a motorway that was ununusually quiet , but one driver just sat in the middle , refusing to shift even with other cars going up behind him (it was a Him, I got DS to look) and giving a headlight flash
Many gaps in the left between lorries . I think he was just listening to music in his own little bubble .

Several years ago I commiserated with a fellow guest at a wedding, because he said he was driving back to Derbyshire from Sussex that evening, after the reception. He said "No , it's fine, I just get in the middle lane, 45 mph, and relax".

@Sadiecow

There's a difference between a phone call and a LOUD PHONE CALL WHERE THE PERSON IS BASICALLY SHOUTING THEIR ENTIRE CONVERSATION.

I have just reported it, which allowed me to give MumsNet the glorious advice: 'Reported because I take exception to being called a cunt.'

That's a first for me, as I hope it would be for all my dear friends on here .

This is absolutely genius! Where can I get one!

HOW DOES THE PHONE BLOCKER KNOW WHICH PERSON THE LOUD ONE????? SO IF I HAPPEN TO BE SAT NEXT TO A LOUD PERSON, I AM ALSO PENALISED??

DOES TYPING IN UPPER CASE MAKE YOU FEEL SUPERIOR??? OR FEEL
LIKE YOU GET YOUR POINT ACROSS MORE??

The l caps is annoying, right?

@00100001

NOT AS annoying as inane comments like, the phone blocker only BLOCKS LOUD CALLERS!

I mean apply just! a little common sense before you start with the CAPITALS!

Exist. Pisses certain of the in-laws off no end and I don't have to do a solitary thing.

Passive aggression doesn't do much for me. I was on the receiving end of it for years until I cut them off: PA Christmas gifts year after year were their favourite thing and gave me many a quiet chuckle. This is why these days if people piss me off I prefer the blunt, direct approach.

BUT ... I cackled like a bilious goose over the twisty phone wire and Danny's tiny cock! Brilliantly funny and made my day!

@alltheemptyfields google is a wealth of information for that type of thing! Try it?

I enjoy choosing Christmas presents that I know they'll hate. This year it's Tesco garden gnomes that remind me of them.

@Crossstitchismyhobby. Why does she object to you walking through doors? Are you living in the house she used to live in?

No,she’s never been to my house-she doesn’t have to address
I have no idea why she screamed that down the phone-a mad power trip maybe?

If customers are rude to me I take great delight in giving them their change in the form of the grubbiest coins I have in the drawer.

Shiny pennies are for the nice customers.

Fortuneswell...its a different world indeed, you're shocked and horrified....I'm writing down ideas ! Laughed at most of these.

I used to do that as well I also used to give them their change in as many coins as possible

I really enjoy purposely mis-remembering or mis-pronouncing names when reminiscing about telly and films as it winds DH up no end.

For example, I have spent many a happy hour arguing that it really was Lionel rather than Liono from Thundercats, Clive not Clyde the orangutan from that old Clint Eastwood film etc etc.
