10 Ways To Annoy Your Sisters

As the oldest, it seems like all fun and games, but is it really?

10 Ways To Annoy Your Sisters
Jennifer Cartwright

I am one sister out of three girls, and yes, I am the oldest. Over the years I have learned to get under the skin of my younger siblings from pranks to tricking them into doing my chores, we've done it all. Now if you implement these ideas, let the games begin.

1. Phone Contacts

One time I changed the majority of sister's contacts to superheroes and the result was everything I wished for. I even changed the contact pictures. I put in a lot of work, but it was so worth it. She had to text everyone asking their name. Of course, I changed my own name and when I got the "Who is this my sister changed all my contacts?" text I didn't let her off that easy. It was probably one of the most planned out, most intensive pranks I've done. I'm pretty proud.

2. Cold Showers

At our house, if we turn on the hot water in the kitchen or bathroom, the shower water gets super cold. We all like to purposely wash our hands or dishes with the scalding hot water while someone is in the shower. Hearing the shrieks coming from the bathroom fills me with so much glee.

3. Unexpected Pictures

From photobombing to catching them doing some real "cute" faces, pictures and videos are a must with siblings. I have countless SnapChat videos, pictures, and screenshots of my sisters dancing, singing off key, talking abut weird things, and making the ugliest faces ever. My Instagram is home to some pretty good shots. I also find delight in taking their phone or device and taking a million pictures of random objects just to take up space and to be, well, annoying.

4. Excessive Cuddling

I am a cuddly person and my sisters make themselves too available for me to tackle them or smother them with cuddles. I have gotten kicked, punched, pinched, and slapped in protest, but I just love them SO much. What can I say? I love you, sister.

5. Appearance Critique

I always get asked for outfit advice or appearance checks, and me being an older sister, I like to sarcastically critique to the point they never ask me again. My sister hates having her hair done, so I always ask her if she will let me. I even used the "But I'm going away to college again and I won't see you for awhile" card and I still got nothing. I do help them in the end, it's just fun to mess with them, obviously.

6. Dibs

This ranges from but is not limited to food, clothing, dinner chairs, car seating, couch spot, remote, bathroom, etc. This category is pretty self-explanatory.

7. Scare Tactics

I have an ongoing streak of scaring my middle sister. When she was younger, she would get so man when I scared her, she would chase after me and attack me. Now I get a satisfying video and a good laugh. Scaring my sisters is probably one of my favorite things to do. I love their raw reactions.

8. The Favorite

I like to say one or the other sister is my favorite. Most of the time I just like to instigate fights and arguments. I love them both and I don't really have a favorite. There is an ongoing joke where my youngest sister is my favorite, but it's not true (maybe).

9. Go Fetch

Asking your sisters to get you something is by far the coolest thing ever, especially as the oldest who is away at college. They typically get whatever it is I want without complaint or excuse. If only they lived with me here at CofO.

10. Selective Hearing

It can be fun to act like I don't hear them some of the time. These instances are when they want me to get them something, do something, or help them with something. I let it get to the point of my name being yelled at least 10 times, then I'll answer. I would not try this with parents.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
