Stories of annoying people out of boredom

Post Reply New Topic

Not accidentally or unintentionally. I'm looking for ideas.

Ah. I sometimes do that in conversations (Usually in real life as I often talk roud the world and back and never reach the point... And by then I have gone on so many tangents I don't remember why I started talking in the first place!).

I once was talking to a neighbour who is a brain surgeon. I don't know what she thinks of me! Haha! Anyway... I was talking away for a while and I still had not reached the point I was making and she was waiting patiently and my mother said "You're supposed to let the other person talk about what they're interested in..." and without thinking I said "But I don't know what she is interested in..."

Her husband also works as head of a department in one of the hospitals. It is where they met. Lovely people.

Looking for ideas...to annoy people?

Ok.

Well back in the eighties when businesses had phones with multiple lines - the phones were designed to set up conference calls. You could call person A, put them on hold, and then call person B, and then push down the buttons for both lines so both are all off of hold ..so all three of you can talk to each other.

I was bored working in the stock room on Saturday by myself so I would call strangers on the company phone, and would force pairs of strangers to speak to other while biting my tongue to keep from laughing while listening in.

Person A would answer, and then person B, would answer, and then both people (because they were "the one" who picked up the phone when they heard it ring) would assumed that the other person had called them, and that the other person had a wrong number. It would be blind man's bluff.

"Who do you wanna talk to?".

"I dunno. Whoever wants to talk to me."

"Hello. Holiday Spas"

"No … this is not holiday spas. You have got the wrong number".



I had a vendetta against Holiday Spas health club, and we had a competing office supply store down the street (this was back before Office Depot and Staple drove all of the mom and pop local office supply retailers out of business). So I considered those two "fair game", but sometimes I would victimize other strangers as well.

Why would the OP want to intentionally annoy people? It feels like I annoy people just by existing, especially when I'm out shopping and every time I turn around I nearly run into another shopper with my cart. A few weeks ago when I accidentally got in an older lady's way at the dollar store she just left her cart and walked away in a huff. The other woman who was with her took over for her.

When we were teenagers my older brother never ran out of ways to annoy me. He was one of those teen guys who hated everything, especially if it was something I liked. So whenever I was in my room, enjoying a show or a cartoon I liked, he'd barge right in, sit right next to me and point out everything that was "wrong" about the show. He was even more annoying than Cinema Sins.

I absolutely bore the piss out of my girlfriend every time I open my mouth. She goes on for ages about mind numbing, mundane crap to do with her brain dead friends and their demonic children, and I listen for some reason, but when I take a turn to talk she switches off before I even finish the first sentence.

Why I stay with the self-absorbed, ignorant woman is beyond me. It probably has something to do with the relentless stalking campaigns she went on when I left her twice before.

Yep.

God knows why though.

You just wait. I'll bore you all half to death.

I'm sitting next to my Mum and I just read out the title, and I asked "Do I do that?" and my Mum said "Yes!"
