I would haunt telemarketers while they are sleeping to ask about their extended warranty.

My washing machine does that anyway ... wait, does that mean it's haunted?

My clothing usually starts inside out, so this would be fine for me :)

If it was someone I particularly wanted revenge on, I'd haunt their kidneys and their colon, and make them mess themselves in public at VERY inopPOOrtune times. I'll show myself out now.

That's a really c.r.a.p.p.y thing to do... I'll also show myself out now.

I would only haunt crappy people, people who lie and cheat and steal. I'd rearrange little things in their house, hide their keys, drain plugs, and toothbrushes. Pull their covers off when it's cold and bend all of their silverware. I'd basically be a Dennis the Menace and drive them crazy. lol

I think I would just start moving random things a few centimeters a day, slowly over an extended period of time. Not enough to notice right away, but just enough that after a few days they'd be thinking "Wait... who moved [knick knack A]?"

Or, hide them for a day then put them back *exactly* where they were. Let them create warring 'explanations' for that ...

Turn the pages on a book they're reading and put the bookmark in the new place.

I like that, but it wouldn't work on Donald Trump who cannot read, so he needs stronger measures. I think I would turn on the microphone when he believes it is off and vice versa. Or repeat Signal Gate!

Silently judge their entertainment choices. If they watch FauxNews, turn the volume down to whisper, or change the language to Spanish, or change the channel to Sesame Street.

I did something similar to my BF once. Downloaded a universal remote app to my phone and changed the channel to a Spanish one every 5 minutes or so just to annoy him.
JK 5 months ago
Or get a remote and duplicate it so you can change the channel from another room. Modern gaslighting.

I would hide every matching sock and glove they have, so they appear in random places.
They'll be like "What is pink sock doing in the freezer?!?"

Keep putting the toilet paper the wrong way around....(yes, there's only one right way, and it's even in the patent).

I’d mess everything up right when they’re in a hurry. Right when they’re scurrying through the house, rushing to leave, I’d do things like hook their sleeve to the door handle, hook their belt loop to the door handle, move around a chair so they stub their toe, maybe spill a drop of water or two in their path.

Ooooh not the water, just the the feeling of a slightly damp sock, it's the worst.

I asked my kids a similar question, If you were a ghost and you were haunting someone but you could only do things to mildly annoy them what would you do?
Their answers:
10 Year old: I would haunt my aunty (who is obsessed with cleaning) wait until she's finished with the vacuum and then crumble up a cracker like a Ritz and scatter it over the floor in plain view.
8 Year Old: I would squeeze all the toothpaste out of every new tube they start into the sink and wash it away so they always think they've used to much.
Me: I would take the little ring with the wheels on it from under the microwave plate, the part that makes it turn around, I would also always take one sock at random from a pair after their laundry is dry.

Am I just invisible, or can I effect things? If I could, I'd go around and find people's lost pets, because it breaks my heart when folks can't find their fur babies. And if the pets had passed on, I'd collect their little ghosts, then me and my ghost menagerie would scour the countryside looking for lost animals. We'd be a happy little ghost circus.

I’ve already alerted my friends of imminent haunting. If they can smell cheap wine, cigarettes and hear snippets of 80’s music, I am close. To annoy the kids simply push the bathroom door open.

I would tell my sister before I die very specific things I would do as a ghost, then not do them, so she begins to doubt that ghosts are real. Even though I would have also proved my own scepticism wrong by being a ghost, it would be funny to change her thinking :)

It's called menopause and it happens about every three to ten minutes. Especially in sleep.

Randomly move things around and haunt their dreams like Freddy Kruger.
In a good mood, I would prune their trees and fruit plants.

1). I would loosen all their jars that contain anything with liquid, then turn the jar upside down.
2). Shake all sodas right before they open one.
3). Leave their milk out overnight.
4). basically, ruin their kitchen but only to people that are @$$HOLES.

I would introduce myself as a god and whisper in the ears of Jehovah's Witnesses as they were about to go to bed that the end of the world is very near, and if they don't swear their faith to a Great Bullfrog they will go to hell where satanic heavy metal music plays day and night.
