- Mocking someone for asking a question.
Obviously, they don’t know the answer, so they’re left feeling even more incompetent.
- Continually asking someone to speak up when you can hear them perfectly fine.
They’ll start to wonder if you’re hard of hearing, or if they have a speech impediment.
- Constantly asking who they’re going to formal with.
This is five times more effective if you know they don’t have a date.
- Telling someone they’re wrong when they’re right.
Watch as they whip out countless statistics to prove that they’re correct.
- Interrupting someone every time they speak.
They might get confrontational upon realizing they haven’t been able to get out a complete sentence.
- Messing with their perfectionism.
Just reorder something they’ve organized perfectly and watch them crumble into despair.
- Being a backseat driver.
This works extremely well if you give them terrible advice throughout the entire drive.
- Bringing up their humiliating experiences in front of strangers.
I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.
- Stepping on the heels of someone’s shoes when you’re walking behind them
Be ready to fight — it’s infuriating to get your shoes stepped on, especially if they’re new.
- Telling someone to “calm down” when they’re upset.
Instead of calming them down, it just riles them up even more.
