Me too. Sometimes even slow it down to 20 just to annoy them further.

Another tactic to annoy tailgaters: use one foot steady on the accelerator and then tap the brake pedal with the other.

to be fair, people who brake unnecessarily absolutely do my head in.

Really like it when you see a tailgater tapping their brakes every few seconds as they get too close to the car in front. Literally irking themselves by not just dropping back a bit.

Then it’s an entirely effective technique for someone who’s close enough to see the whites of my eyes in my rear view mirror.

Agree with this.

To clarify my comment upthread: I basically drive very correctly so that the tailgater has no cause to complain

Whenever someone says the phrase ‘you two’, or ‘you too’ in general conversation, I immediately respond as if they are referring to the band U2.

e.g. “I need you two to come help me move this filing cabinet”
“I’m not sure you’re going to be able to get hold of Bono and the gang to help you with that”

It’s not funny for me or them, but the momentary confusion into annoyance created is great.

You’d also be surprised how often that phrase crops up when you’re tuned in to listening out for it.

My hiccups are really weird. I think I sound like a yappy chihuahua but my sister says I sound like I’m doing a mambo shout.

My mum used to hate them and tell me to hiccup in a more ladylike way, so now I let them loose whenever I’m back at my parents’ house because I’M AN ADULT NOW MUM

Big fan of a strict 30 through a village with someone getting wound up behind you, then booting it and leaving them in my dust at the end of the speed limit.

Every day on my drive home.

I don’t remember this at all. I think you’re making it up.

Alright then, just for you: I’ve recently added “batting things off surfaces, like a cat does” to my domestic repertoire.

(obvs nothing breakable and I’ll usually pick it up again myself afterwards. Usually.)

specifically make sure I leave my valve caps on because it annoys one of my friends so much “they don’t do anything! you don’t need them!” have now ordered some bright red anodised ones just to irk her

Pretend that I’ve accidentally misheard my partner.

Me: What time is it?
Her: Quarter to nine.
Me: It’s time for WINE?!

Top stuff.

My village is like this. There’s a long open road that’s 30mph for maybe half a mile, it goes past a college but normally it’s fairly free and people tend to drive really fast down there before getting to the national limit 60 section which is dead straight and clear. I like to drive strictly 30mph until the sign and then gun it. had some donut try to overtake me where the national limit sign was and were left stranded once i floor it, their shitty corsa was no match #clarkson

When she goes to work and I’ve got the day off:

Her: Can you come and lock me out?
Me: You want me to knock you out?

When I’m standing on a train, potentially in the way of a lot of people, and the train is coming into the station and loads of people are getting up and starting to be a bit pushy, I just stand there in the way until the last possible second and then I get off the train.
