How to Annoy a Capricorn

Wendy Brock
Capricorns by nature are easily annoyed. Unlike people who born under the sign Libra or Aquarius who are typically laid back, Capricorns are usually on the edge of a nervous breakdown. They can seem one minute to be completely in control, but truly they are ready to burst with nervous emotions. If you know a Capricorn that you want to annoy, here are the tips that will have them reeling from your antics.

Keep in mind that in public Capricorns can be very laid back, cool, and fun. They have a tendency to show two different sides of themselves. So you will want to get them in a private setting. Once alone with a Capricorn you will be able to see the mask drop and they will be more themselves. Plus, they are more likely to show the annoyed side of themselves when they are not in front of others. Capricorns love to keep up an image in the public eye, but when alone, their true nature shows.

The first way to annoy a Capricorn is to be extremely hyper. When a Capricorn is at home or relaxing, they want peace and quiet and they look very lazy. That's not to say they don't work hard, because they do. They just like a calm environment at home.

Get extremely hyper by drinking a lot of decaffeinated products like Red Bull or Mountain Dew. If you need visual tips on how to act hyper or like a kid with ADHD, check out "Fred needs his meds" on You Tube. This is a perfect example of being hyper.

Next, correct a Capricorn's errors. They love to think they are perfect and hate any sense of feeling put down. Even if it's just a grammatical or spelling mistake in an e-mail or text, let them know you caught it. You'll get dirty looks from doing this trick.

Another way to annoy the heck out of Capricorn is to be better than them at competitive games, board games, or video games. Capricorns love being the best at whatever they are doing so if you are better than them, they will feel insecure which has a snowball affect of making them completely annoyed with you.

If you're not good at games practice until you are the best. Then ask a Capricorn to play this game you've "discovered." Don't tell them you've played it before. Act like it's the first time you've ever played it. When you play the game together and you're just so naturally good, it will make a Capricorn feel inferior, aggravated, and ultimately annoyed.

Capricorns are always on edge. Jumping out and scaring them is a great way to really get their goat, so to speak. So if your Capricorn buddy, boyfriend, or girlfriend is just sitting on the couch watching television, sneak like a ninja through the house and attack. Grabbing them suddenly or yelling a banshee cry will have them off that couch in a split second. It's probably one of the few times you'll ever see a Capricorn move so fast.

Capricorns hate cuddling, affection, and being touchy-touchy. So invade their personal space and act affectionate. When they ask "Why are you annoying me?" answer them with "I'm just loving you." They will get even more annoyed by squirming away.

Even though many Capricorns have a lot of the same annoyances, you'll want to find what it is that exactly brings the Capricorn in your life to nervous fits. Once you discover this, use it as a weapon against them and you'll master how to annoy them completely.
