Having fun annoying your spouse or child

[TheNoNamedOne]

Not in a mean spirited way, but in a playful way, I have the greatest way to annoy my wife that is really fun. I simply sing this song to her:

This song makes people crazy,
Makes people crazy crazy crazy crazy,
This song makes people crazy,
And I'll sing it to you again.

And repeat over and over.

She tries to ignore me for the first 8 minutes, but then she tells me to shut up. Then I keep singing it another 10 or 20 minutes to really annoy her. But the really good part is, the tune is so catchy that it gets in her brain and soon enough, I'll hear her singing it to herself.

And then later in the day when I think she's forgotten it, I sing it to her again for another 20 mins.

It's fun. Try it.

[dk]

Hell no. lol. I'd like to keep my wife and kid. :P

[InDuhUSA]

Yeah, I'm with DK on that. Not that I would lose my wife but I'd hate to wake up in the morning and find a dirty sock in my mouth :D

[jmw01]

or just sing this is the song that never ends my wife hates that one i would like to try the crazy one but what tune is it

[TheNoNamedOne]

Been a while since posting here so I'll add something real quick:

Tell your spouse you will clean a pot of something or wash the dishes, but let them purposely pile up to see what her threshold limit is before she cleans them. But always promise like hell you will wash them when it looks like she is going to wash them. See at what day she stops believing your promise.

Then a few months later try to break your own record and do it again.

[DougP]

I do like your idea in the OP.:D I'm going to have to try it... just not right now.:)

[dk]

Wouldn't you start to annoy yourself after singing that song for thirty minutes or so? I don't think I could do it...

[TheNoNamedOne]

Oh, this is a great one I do ALL the time:

We do not have handtowels in the bathroom for drying your hands after washing them. But next to our mirror our bathtowls are hanging. My wifes is the farthest, but after just washing my hands anytime throughout the day I always dry my hands on her body bath towel. So, when she comes out the shower to dry off, she always has a kinda damp towel to dry with.

Mine stays dry all the time because she sees no entertainment in annoying me.

Try that. Use your wife's dry bath towel to always dry your hands. For several months my wife never knew why her towel was always damp -- until she caught me doing it one time. But I keep doing it.

She's used to it by now so maybe it isn't too annoying anymore. But it could work for you newbies at it. Have fun.

[DougP]

Here's one that's a bit stone age but still works. I like to walk over near the bed
when my wife is lying down feeling all comfortable and bend over like I'm going to pick something up. I say "Hey honey, guess what?" She'll say "what?" Then I let one rip. Gets her every time.:D

[kombu_kid]

I've had a little song I used to sing. The tune is somewhat catchy, so it stays in your mind. Which kinda sucks, because the words are:

Everybody's doin' it, doin' it, doin' it....
Pickin' their nose and chewin' it, chewin' it, chewin' it....

Sometimes my wife gets mad 'cuz she can't get the tune out of her mind, and the words just go along with it. Oops, sorry honey.

Another fun one I do is take a digital picture of her right after she wakes up in the morning.......then put it on the computer as my screensaver.:)

I'm gonna go do this right now. Hope she doesn't wake up. :D

Edit: woah damn, I shouldn't be reading so late. I thought it said you took her picture when she was SLEEPING and set it as your screensave... :o

I like your idea better. No make up, no smiles, just that morning thing.

[TheNoNamedOne]

Oh that is funny KombuKid with the pic screensaver. Ha!

[TheNoNamedOne]

Here is a fun one but it takes about a month to start bothering them:

Everytime your wife talks to her mother or father on the phone and she sees that you know she is talking to them, about 1 hour after she has already hung up, just absent-mindedly ask her, "Did you talk to your mom already today on the phone?" She'll say yes and remind you that you were in the same room with her when she did. Don't even acknowledge that. Just ignore it like you didn't hear it.

Keep doing this for a month and she'll get annoyed.

Reminds me of something else I used to do with my coworkers. Do the print screen and capture an image of the current desktop with all of the shortcuts etc.. Then hide or move all of the desktop shortcut icons into a folder. Take the snapshot of the desktop you took earlier and save it as the new background. They'll spend all sorts of time clicking on shortcuts before they realize that its just a jpeg.:D

[kombu_kid]

I'm already scaring her enough naturally with my lousy memory!:eek:

Oh here is a great one -- The tissue snake monster:

Just take any old standard tissue, roll it up between your fingers until one end is pretty thin and pointy. When your wife is sleeping slowly insert it into one of her nostrils. It can go pretty far before they get that horrible tickle feeling really high up in their nose and they wake up freaking out. They may bat at it a few times at first if you are not good at it and touch a lot of side hairs. The skillful tissue snake monster can get up there pretty high to the mucous membrane before they freak out.

Remember, go for the mucous membrane tickle and not the hair tickle. The former is much more intense.

Funny!

Yea, I think this would get most people in the dog house. I've done in unintentionally a couple times...definitely not worth it, let me tell you :old:

your sick! My wife would kick me the nads:D

[socalheart]

LOL! :D You guys are just way bored, huh? Y'all are prime examples of being happily married for too long. :rolleyes: All us womenfolk shoud be so lucky.

... she sees no entertainment in annoying me.

I just find this funny. She might find your annoyingness entertaining in itself.

[Asshat]

I have truely enjoyed reading this thread! Great posts! Mine is kind of lame in comparison..well now she has her own bathroom, so it doesn't work, but I like sneaking in while she's taking a shower with a glass of chilled water and dumping it over the top. The scream is absolutely awesome!

I also like staring at her when she's sleeping. Somehow she wakes up and freaks out.

Also, I like walking past some of the pillars-in the house...you know, like the kitchen island- where you are out of view for a second...and she expects me to keep walking and appear on the other side...but I don't. I stop, still hidden and wait a few seconds, then walk out as if nothing happens. It trips her out...makes her think she is suffering from phase time loop issues.

[dk]

You guys are really giving me some great ideas. I'm enjoying this as well. I like the cold water in the shower thing, but my wife doesn't have that type of a sense of humor. I'm pretty sure that'd just piss her off. :o

I usually just pick on her height. I'm boring like that. She's barely five feet tall...

[TheNoNamedOne]

Too bad she is not from Miyako, dk.

[dk]

She's from Osaka. Those people don't mess around either.

[TheNoNamedOne]

Someone try this:

When your wife is taking s shower and you kinda know when it is about over, stick your face right up to the shower curtain (can't be one that is able to see through) where you know she will be opening it. Scares the sh:t out of them.

[socalheart]

I have to try the hide behind the pillar thing. ;) heehee. We have an ofuro style bathroom, so the curtain and water over the top thing wouldn't work. My husband does enjoying opening the door and splashing me with cold water though. We have to be careful about it though, because the hot water heater control is outside the bathroom. That water gets cold pdq this time of year. heh. :eek:

[Asshat]

Does anyone remember that comic strip, "The Appletons?" (edit: From National Lampoon)

The suave, pipe-smoking Dad was always coming up with ways to mess with his family. In one strip, he comes home and announces they are all going to a very fine and expensive restraunt.

In the next scene, they are all seated being served and Mr. Appleton excuses himself to the restroom. In the next scene he is home in the easy chair smoking his pipe with a smile on his face relishing his quiet time without the family......who are shown in the last scene sitting at the table staring at the meal receipt and no way to pay it.

[TheNoNamedOne]

Oh, that is bad. I'm gonna do that to my wife at Sam's Cafe.

LOL. I don't believe that one anymore. Hubby's pulled that one on me many times and when he tells me he'll do something I just ignore him now and do it because I know it won't be til next year...if he even remembers.

Why do men do that? "Sigh"...

[Asshat]

It's the oldest one in the book! Act all incompetent and stuff so she never expects you do anything.

Same as giving flowers! Don't so she never expects it.

Yea...I start acting dumb too!! I act like I don't know how to do some things around the house and he ends up doing it. I guess what goes around comes around!!:D
