Say "You'll thank me later for this." This is classic.
Drop your teenagers off where their friends can see you. Some may not seem to mind until you embarrass them.
Ruffle their hair while you're waiting to buy tickets in the movie line. This will drive them crazy!
Spit on a tissue and rub chocolate off their chin while you're in public. Yet another classic.
Wear and ankle bracelet. They don't want you being cool and sophisticated like them!
Demonstrate your favorite moves from when you were a high-school cheerleader when they have friends over. This is a good way to embarrass them big time!
Ask them if they need to use the bathroom before they leave the house. Nothing like making them feel like a little kid again!
Dance alone at any function where they can see you. This is just plain embarrassing.
Tell you best friend something they told you in confidence. This is even better if the friend slips by giving them some advice!
Say "But what will the neighbors think?" This is good if you live in a small neighborhood where everyone knows you.
Ask "Why does Britney Spears have to dress like that?" This can work with any of their favorite singers.
Find your old guitar and sing "Kumbaya" and "This Land is Your Land" in front of their friends. This is great! Make it even better with some oldies songs.
Drive under the speed limit. This will always make them boil!
Drive over the speed limit. This is only for those who have nervous kids!
Drive at the speed limit. Act like you're going to hit the sign, they'll love it!
Interrupt them when they're talking to correct their grammar. This is a classic which is always annoying...
Have extreme right-wing political views. Tell them everything you know.
Have extreme left-wing political views. Give them more information.
Have no political views whatsoever. Tell them politics don't matter, and you don't care!
Have any political views at all. Hmm, your kids will be so annoyed when you change you mind every few minutes they wont even care what's true!
Wait up for them. Count how many minutes past curfew they are and tell them when they get home. Its classic!
Don't wait up for them.
Hint that you and your spouse are still having sex. This is a good one! Your kids will be so embarrass that they won't even want to think about sex!
Keep saying "cool" in an effort to be cool. This is a good one too. There are a lot more new words that are even cooler then "cool."
Say to one of their friends "My, how you've grown." This is completely embarrassing. This makes them feel like you are ancient!
So whether you are intentionally trying to annoy your kids, or just having fun, use some of these to make it more exciting!
