Annoying People on IRC
People on IRC are easy to annoy.
- Ask if you can ask a question.
- Ask a question and immediately leave.
- Ask the same question over and over again without giving anyone a chance to answer.
- Talk about warez.
- Type in all capital letters, alternate caps, spell poorly and don't use any punctuation.
- Join a channel with an obvious topical focus and ask about something completely unrelated.
- Join and then leave a channel quickly and without saying anything.
- Join a channel you've never visited before and ask them to op you. If they don't, tell them they're cruel dictators. Explain that you're succeeding from the channel and forming your own.
- Jump into a channel... say "sucks" and then jump out.
- Jump into a channel... say "[random person in the channel] is a [choice curse word here]."
- Use a nickname based on bodily fluids or a sexual act.
- Use a nickname based on characters like Ùçá.
- Use slang, such as "R U there?" or "Does NE1 know?"
- Use an IRC client that everyone knows sucks because of annoying things it does. (ex: Netscape Chat)
- Use lots and lots of scripts, pop-ups and colors. Don't say anything worthwhile.
- Make pitiful attempts at trying to take over a channel. Tell everyone they must address you as Conquistador.
- Create an auto-greet that sends to everyone in a channel each time someone joins. Make it very long and elaborate.
- On OS related channels, talk about an opposing OS, even though you don't really like or know anything about either of them.
- Attempt to DCC chat/send someone after they've already told you they won't accept it.
- After being kicked/banned from a channel, message the individual that did it to you to ask them why, and then blurt out rude and obscene gestures to them.
- Join a channel, stay for a minimum of 30 minutes without saying a word, then say "You people are lame!" and depart before anyone can respond.
- Join a channel clearly marked #Russia or #Italia and ask "Wow, what language is THAT!?"
- Join a channel but have an autogreet running for a different channel.
- Have a useless script set up to autorespond to random and often used words, such as saying "It really doesn't matter." every time someone says "it".
- Come in, whine pitiously that everyone in the channel hates you, say that you're going to "end it all" and leave.
- Steal people's nicks when they get booted.
- Enter and leave a channel repeatedly. If someone asks why, say you're trying to get it to run faster.
- Complain about lag every five seconds when you've got a great ping response.
