Everyone who is in a relationship knows that there are some go-to ways to annoy their partner. Some of us do it for fun, while others do it to get under their skin. But, when you’ve been with someone for a long time, you know just how to bother them in the best ways possible.
For your viewing pleasure, and maybe to keep in your back pocket for when you need it, people are sharing the funny ways they annoy their partners .
Playing the trombone terribly.
“Once my boyfriend busted out a trombone he’d just bought and started making strange, unworldly noises with it while I tried to talk to my mom on the phone. He followed me around the house when I left the room.
He’d never played trombone before in his life,” one person shared.
This one is adorable.
Some couples know how to take those hard topics that can be difficult to discuss and make them fun and lighthearted, like these two wives who discuss being gay and turn it into a bit filled with some laughs. So sweet.
Make them into a burrito.
One person said that they like to turn their partner into a giant burrito who cannot move around. They wrap their partner up in a duvet and put a belt around the middle so all they can do is roll side-to-side. Hilarious!
Silliness always wins.
“Making up songs. For example, we live close to a Fillmore Street and every time we pass it, I sing “That’s Fillmore!” to the tune of “That’s Amore!”
Also, mispronouncing common words on purpose. Saying “wallet” but rhyming it with “ballet”, or “page” rhyming with Fage yogurt,” one shared.
Making small jokes during quarantine can hit…or miss.
One girlfriend said that during their lockdown and working from home, she made hilarious and funny “I’m running late for work” jokes, even though she only had to commute to the kitchen table. Funny and clever at the same time.
Hiding can be dangerous or fun.
“One of my favourite things is to scare people. I hide in doorways or behind corners and jump out and scare my boyfriend. He screams like a little girl and jumps backward. I’m sure one of these times I’m going to get punched in the face,” said one person.
Stick figures with a lot of detail.
“I put really terribly drawn pictures of ‘stick figure us’ having sex in his lunchbox every day. I hide it in different ways, sometimes I put it in between the sandwiches, sometimes around the apple, sometimes on top, sometimes I manage to get it into his jacket. Just stick figure us having wild kinky sex,” one shared.
Couples who keep it up for years.
Some couples tease each other for years and years, so often, that they keep the joke running well into their 30th anniversary. One husband has the same, “I told you never to call me at this number” joke running for 35 years!
Tickle spots are important.
“When laying in bed before getting up: Pinch his nipples, then tickle his armpits, and end with a foot tickle. And then I say I’m sorry, and hit one of those places one more time. It’s just so cute to see him whine and giggle at the same time,” said one person.
Embarrass her in public, always.
One guy said that he likes to use his girlfriend’s bra straps as a way for her to “navigate” him when they are in public.
Imagine seeing a couple walking down the street and he is using her bra straps as a navigation system? Funny!
Make it serious, then funny.
There’s nothing better than putting anger and humor together.
This girlfriend said she “storms off” to go cycling and by cycling, she means riding her stationary bike literally 3 feet away from her boyfriend. That’s got to get some laughs from him.
Explaining the obvious things.
One boyfriend said he likes to tell his girlfriend jokes, or even point out jokes in TV shows and movies, and then explain them in long-winded and detailed ways, no matter how obvious the joke is.

I mean who doesn’t want someone yelling the most iconic lines directly in our face at close range? Some couples just get the fun stuff.
Doing the “lean.”
“While hugging, I’ll hold her tight and slowly stop supporting my own weight, putting more and more weight on her. She waits until she thinks I’m off balance enough to push me off or pull away, but I always catch myself,” one boyfriend shared.
A little bit of monkey business.
“My personal favorite is when shes not paying attention to me so I start of by making innocent little chimp sounds but by the end of it I’m doing loud monkey screams tossing papers or whatever across the room like a wild ape,” said one person.
