How to Annoy Your Siblings

Do you enjoy teasing and playing pranks on your siblings? This is a popular pastime for siblings around the world! Once you've gotten them riled up, remember to show some kindness afterward; after all, you don't want them to hate you for life, and continuously pulling pranks isn't the most mature behavior. That said, let the teasing begin!

Enter their room multiple times. Call them by the sweetest names, then suggest they read a book in their room because the spot is quite cozy. You can also try to peek over their shoulder while they read. This can be super annoying, especially when they’re reading something they don’t want you to see. When they leave, move a few things around and pick up one of their books. Make sure others are around who can also shift their things, so you won’t be the sole suspect. If they blame you, just say something like, "I didn’t mean to" or "I saw them and forgot where they went."

Act like a mime when it’s just the two of you. Pretend you’re in an invisible box, and when someone enters the room, behave completely normally. If your sibling calls you names, do something completely random that fits what they said and point at them. The goal is to annoy them until they’re completely unsettled.

Point at them. You don’t even need to look at them, but if they move, point in the direction they’re going. For some strange reason, pointing is a strangely unsettling and annoying act. Siblings absolutely hate it!

Phớt lờ người đó một cách tàn nhẫn ngay cả khi họ trở nên buồn bã. Khi anh chị em của bạn đang nói chuyện với bạn, bạn nên giữ im lặng và phớt lờ họ như thể họ không có ở đó. Phương pháp này vô cùng hiệu quả khi họ hỏi tìm một thứ gì đó.

Thỉnh thoảng, bạn cũng có thể tạo âm thanh ngẫu nhiên nào đó. Bạn nên bảo đảm rằng anh chị em của bạn không trông thấy bạn. Họ sẽ cảm thấy khó chịu, thắc mắc không biết nó xuất phát từ đâu. Bạn chỉ cần ngồi trong góc phòng để quan sát và cười!

Slurp loudly while drinking any beverage as loudly as possible. If you're alone with your sibling and you’re feeling thirsty, you can grab a glass of water (or any drink) and slurp it loudly. This act will drive them crazy after a while.

Don’t stop singing a song over and over. Pick a song that will annoy them when they hear it too many times. Sing it in an irritating tone, making sure they really dislike that song.

• Sing “la la la la la” right in your sibling’s ear. When they turn around, run off, but keep singing until they yell at you.
• Sing an annoying song like "A little duck spreads its wings and says…" and make up your own lyrics.

Make your sibling feel worse. When your mom or dad says something to your sibling (not something like "You got all A’s" or similar!), you can say "Yeah, [their name]". For instance, if your parents ask your sibling to clean their room, just say, "Yeah, Châu." Do this every time your parents give your sibling a task.

Keep saying "Huh?" before every sentence your sibling says. If they ask you to do something, just reply with "Huh?". If someone else comes up and says something to you, don’t answer them, just say "Huh?".

Get your sibling in trouble. If you’re alone with your sibling, you can lie on the floor and scream. When your parents show up, tell them that your sibling pushed you down. They’ll punish your sibling for it.

Tattle on your sibling. If your sibling is doing something they don’t want your parents to know about, tell your parents on them. They really don’t like this move. Be sure you have proof of what they’re doing, like a video, recording, or photo. This is a sweet revenge.

Ú òa anh chị em của bạn và dọa họ sợ khi họ không trông chờ nó. Nếu họ đang ở trong phòng tắm và để cửa mở, hoặc khi họ đang ngồi im lặng làm bài tập tại bàn học, bạn hãy rón rén đến gần họ và thét to "Ú òa!" hoặc khiến đồng hồ đổ chuông báo thức ầm ĩ.

Hide your sibling’s favorite items. It’s even better if you hide them in another sibling’s closet to frame them. A two-for-one prank!

Pretend you’re asleep. If you’re watching TV or just lying in bed and hear your sibling coming, act like you’re asleep. They might leave or come closer to you. If they approach, suddenly jump up and scream, scaring them out of their wits. It’s even better if you scream in their ear.

Pull the classic prank of covering the toilet seat with plastic wrap. For a great prank, you can cover the toilet seat with cling film or another type of plastic wrap and tell them they can use the bathroom. When they go, they’ll be faced with a messy situation. Be cautious though, as boys might pee on the seat, so keep that in mind.

When your siblings are asleep, you can apply shaving cream (or whipped cream) to their hands. Then, lightly tickle their nose and run away. Jump into your bed and pretend to sleep. If they enter your room and try to do the same to you, smear it on their face. It's hilarious!

If the person is using a computer to write (an essay for school, something on Facebook), you can alter a few words. For example, if they're typing the sentence "My name is Bao", you can change it to "My name is Ban" or something similar. You can add, change, or delete parts of their text.

Rearrange the person’s room as much as you can. Move their study desk, bed, and other items around. Do this while your parents are busy with something else around the house and when your siblings are out. That way, it might seem like your parents did it (the more suspects, the better).

Move their toys during the night or when they're away (this only works with younger children). Turn on a scary movie or Toy Story before you start. They will think their room is haunted or that their toys have come to life.

Prepare a meal for your siblings, asking what they'd like to eat. You can make food for them but add a few subtle pranks. For instance, if they want to drink milk, you can add water instead. Maybe they want a sandwich, you can sneak in some unexpected ingredients. Make small changes, and if they ask about it, just make up a story.

Bother your siblings with useless things. If the person is angry and has locked themselves in a room, you can knock on the door repeatedly until they approach. If they come near and ask what you want, you can pause for a moment and say "Hello", then run away. This will make them extremely annoyed.

Call your siblings by the nickname they hate. Continuously shout out the various nicknames they despise into their ears when they’re busy. Or hide and yell these names so they can’t find you.

Play a game of throwing paper into a basket. Every time your sibling opens their mouth to yawn, talk, or sing, you can grab a crumpled piece of paper and aim it at their mouth while shouting "Score!" They’ll think twice before speaking in front of you.

Giả vờ là anh chị em của bạn trên một trong các tài khoản của họ. Khi anh chị của bạn đang gửi tin nhắn trực tuyến cho bạn bè hoặc sử dụng Facebook, bạn nên chờ cho đến khi họ đi vào nhà vệ sinh hoặc nghỉ ngơi đôi chút và rời khỏi phòng. Rón rén bước đến đó và đánh một vài từ vào khung chat hoặc thay đổi trạng thái của họ thành một điều gì đó ngẫu nhiên như "Tôi thích những chú ngựa có hình dáng như mây!".

Be present when your sibling is spending time with their partner. If they are cuddling in another room while watching a movie, you can sit nearby and watch. This will be a test of your self-control, so you must be prepared to outlast them in this process.

Constantly remind your sibling how much you love them. In a restaurant, in front of their friends, hug them tightly and repeatedly say, 'I love you so much!' If you want to make it worse, apply bright pink or red lipstick and kiss their face all over.

Invade their private space. If a friend is coming over, you can steal their diary from wherever they hide their secrets. Read it and then start discussing it in front of their friends.

Write a 'love letter' to your sibling, pretending to be the person they like. Act as if you are the one they are interested in and write a letter inviting them to meet you at a location of your choosing. This method tends to work best with older siblings, and you will need to put in the effort to figure out who they have feelings for.

Write a 'love letter' to someone else on behalf of your sibling. You should try your best to mimic their handwriting to make it look more authentic. Once again, this approach will only work with older siblings, and you'll need to figure out who they are attracted to.

Tell them you love them and that you are going to hug them. They will likely run away.

• Only do this if your sibling is truly being mean to you.
• Constantly make annoying noises. If asked to stop, repeat what they say.
• Do not let your parents or guardians know you are intentionally trying to annoy your sibling.
• Invent strange languages and pretend you're insulting them with it.
• Ask silly or nonsensical questions or riddles.
• Grab a piece of candy, remove the wrapper, but don’t tear it. Eat the candy, then rewrap it and give it to your sibling.
• Don't take it too far to the point where you’ll get in trouble, and always be careful.
• If they’re wearing a hat, grab it and replace it with something else.
• If you're sleeping under them on a bunk bed, you can lie down and use your feet to push the mattress up in the middle of the night.
• Remember not to cross the line. Even if you’re trying to annoy your sibling, they are still a person and deserve to be treated as such.

• You should not repeatedly use the same prank. You will get caught, and they will tell your parents, causing them to get upset.
• Your sibling might use this advice to get revenge, so be cautious.
• Avoid doing this when your parents or guardians are around. They will easily catch you.
• You could face severe consequences, so be careful!
• Be ready for retaliation.
• If you constantly irritate your sibling, there's a chance they will end up disliking you. You could ruin your relationship with them for life.
• Don't try this if your sibling is quite clever, unless you are smarter than them. Otherwise, you'll get caught, or the prank will seem unreasonable.
• Don't be surprised if you get into trouble with your parents. Every action has consequences.
• Bullying your sibling is unacceptable, just like bullying anyone else. Don't threaten them, and if you're being bullied by your sibling, tell an adult.
