I love annoying my sister, girlfriend and some friends irl.

Online I tend not to, but in one subtle way I love to.

Censoring a word before posting on Lemmy. Oh how I love watching people tweak bc the u in fuck is lightly cut off. Its so funny to me how big a deal it is to so many people.

What do you do knowing it’ll annoy people? Online or not?

    I once annoyed one of my friends in high school while he was trying to write a story/book (I don’t remember if he was actually trying to write his own book or if it was just a story). One day, I saw that he was typing a sentence that said something about one of the characters “whipping out his cellphone” and I said “oh, is that what we’re calling it now”. I would then occasionally look back at his story without actually reading anything and laugh a little. At first he thought it was funny but at some point he started getting annoyed and kept telling me to stop.

      You must’ve noticed the same thing in OP that I did:

      my sister, girlfriend and some friends irl

      Assuming there are both women and men around you that you could be annoying, its worth thinking about why these little assertions of dominance only target a certain group.

      You could experiment with intentionally annoying men… And dont just pick men who are somehow subordinate to you.

    I state my opinions on the internet without adherence to any particular side or filter for pacifying and self-censoring what I genuinely believe or facts that I know with certainty and back it up with reason, logic and evidence.

    IRL this seldom annoys anyone unless I’m overly impolite but I try to be polite generally.
