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?

when someone tailgates me, I slow down.

I don't even notice tailgaters very often. I'm too busy singing along with whatever is playing on the radio.

this is a good option because it makes it easier and safer for the person behind you to overtake.

i often have cars in front of me when i'm on my motorcycle. they speed up which makes it impossible to safely overtake on curvy roads. just slow down a little and i will be out of your hair in seconds.

This is one of the many reasons I love my manual transmission

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I miss driving a manual car. How does it help with tailgating? Was I missing out?!

[–] Weirdfish@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I can down shift and slow down without activating my brakelights.

Oh, you mean you like getting bumped in the rear then?

[–] Weirdfish@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

The question was how to annoy people, a car slowing down while being tailgated without brake lights annoys people.

I swear I'm the single calmest and least petty person on the road it feels.
