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.

Gotta reduce speed so their tailgating distance is the appropriate gap

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

This is the way.

Anyone can stop their vehicle in a single meter if we're both going slow enough.

The car behind chooses a following distance. The car in front can choose an appropriate speed to help things stay safe.

Plus, it helps them overtake safely to go have their inevitable future accident somewhere far from me.

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

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

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Weirdfish@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] agitated_judge@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Weirdfish@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] wabasso@lemmy.ca 1 points 18 hours ago

Wow I should have know my answer would be taken.
