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

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 ...
#7
Turn the pages on a book they're reading and put the bookmark in the new place.
#8
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.
#9
I would sit at my computer all day and read Bored Panda. If I can do it in life, I can do it in death!
#10
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?!?"

*Insert evil laugh here* When we're haunting people I'll be giving you ghost high fives all the time.
#11
Keep putting the toilet paper the wrong way around....(yes, there's only one right way, and it's even in the patent).
#12
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.
#13
Turn off the TV at critical moments like when their team getting ready to hit a shot for a score or right at the end reveal of a mystery.
#14
My job I guess.. I work as a set designer and decorator for a large haunted house attraction. So ill just continue doing what I do.. move stuff around.
#15
Randomly change all their settings on their phones, tablets, PCs, TVs etc.
#16
Whisper into their Alexa devices, so that weird stuff keeps getting delivered by Amazon.
#17
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.
#18
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.
#19
Each time one of the living passed by a door, hook their belt loop, sleeve, pocket etc...on the handle
#20
I'd steal all their left shoes and leave them in the neighbor's yard.
Andrew Keir 5 days ago
Then take all his right shoes and put them in the relative's house. Then watch them argue ...
#22
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.
#24
Just appear out of the corner of their eye for eternity. I have old grudges that I want to annoy-that's right Mrs McCarthy-I haven't forgotten!
#25
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 :)
#28
Randomly move things around and haunt their dreams like Freddy Kruger.
In a good mood, I would prune their trees and fruit plants.
#29
I would move every item in the or house just slightly. Not enough to make it obvious but just enough that they think something isn’t right!
#30
Change their passwords to a slight character off then change it when they try to change it to exactly what the new one is so they get the “new password can’t be the same as old password” message. Every single time.
#31
I wouldn't haunt people. I'd travel the galaxy and haunt other species. Either that or haunt mediums who are obviously faking (as they all are) and tell them rubbish.
#32
I'd move all their furniture around. Not big distances, just enough that they hit their shin, or toes on it.
#33
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.
What do you think ?

If I was allowed to be karma as a ghost, I would be making those that abuse and neglect animals suffer more than what they did to the animals, regardless of whether the animals recovered and are in good homes or not.
