Answer: very carefully. Geeks are wily and resourceful creatures, and once trifled with, are difficult to throw off your scent.

Well, you could pull the heads off his action figures, crash his computer, tie his cords for all his gadgets in a huge knot, etc. But, my personal favorite is to wait until he takes a vacation or plans to be away for about a week, fill his keyboard with the seeds of some sort of grass that'll grow pretty quickly, then water daily, and watch his response...

7	People seem to purposely try to piss me off by saying that Microsoft is better than Apple, or that the Droid is better than the iPhone. answered Jun 06 '10 at 09:01 AppleHack23 (suspended)

When someone explains you something and the informations aren't true or correct. It pisses me off. Or when someone sell a computer and theres no informations or he thinks its worth like 2x the price really pisses me off.

Mess with their computer, gadgets and or internet connection without their permission. I know that would annoy me to no end, and it does when people do it without even noticing.

Proper geeks lock their computers when they walk away - Specifically because we know other people are not to be trusted on our beloved computers.

Leave a message on his/her answer phone saying "Your internet was cut off because your youtube video uploads consume too much of our upstream. Please try not to upload youtube videos while you stay at this hotel again." and subsequently fill him/her with beer until he slurs and drops the camera. Yep, that's a good way to annoy a geek!

Use apostrophe's in your plural's.
Try to frequently split your infinitives.

Do you people even know English?

wat? (A chatroom I frequent actually has that tied to a bot that automatically spits back, "Wat is a type of stew in Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine." whenever someone types "wat" (inevitably meaning "what," of course.)

It's especially bad when people's mistakes alter the meaning of the sentence, such as in exactly that example.
