re: Subtle things you do to piss off your boss.

About 6 months before my retirement, I bought 6 annoyatrons from Amazon. First one was installed in easy to find spots. Then I installed the next few in harder to find spots. I finally admitted what I did on my last day.
Since they have a magnet, best spots were behind filing cabinets, inside desk top computers, and inside of AC vents.

This guy was probably pissed off at his boss:

Nagasaki resident Tsutomu Yamaguchi, in Hiroshima on 6 August on a business trip, & was badly burned by the atomic bomb. 3 days later he returns to Nagasaki, in time for the city to be hit by the second atomic bomb. Tsutomu survives both explosions, suffering radiation sickness.

Tsutomu Yamaguchi was ~3 kilometres from ground zero of both atomic bombs to hit Japan. He was on the telephone, hearing his boss insisting that just one bomb could not destroy a city, when the second one exploded.

My boss has a Sheldon Cooper -like tendency to repeat everything three times, so I cut him off after the second time.

Every day around 1:00 I set a cook time on the microwave in the management breakroom for 4:xx
I don't press start.
He grabs a cup of coffee around 3.
So every single day, he looks at it and doesn't notice it's a timer, thinks it's about time to leave and doesn't make his coffee... Returns to his office, and 5ish minutes later I see him walk back down there.
It's been 9 years, and I laugh my arse off every single time.

Yesterday my boss said "make sure they empty my trash tomorrow... I'm gonna be out. They haven't emptied it all week."
I put a "do not empty" sign on his trash can

I have 3 jobs, 3 bosses, and am close friends with all of them.

I like to move random things around in bosses/coworkers office when they annoy me. It is amazing how moving an object from one side of a desk to another will mess with someone’s mental state.

Back in the day I would xerox yellow pages adds for hair club for men, escort services, etc and send them to him while he was in staff meetings.

I start a new project out at 100mph to great fanfare then stall halfway through it.

My boss and I get along great. We’ve been playing NBA 2k and Madden together during the strike to pass the time.

I let her know when she has done something incorrectly. It happens fairly often. Being significantly more intelligent than your boss can lead to a high level of work frustration.

You are frustrated that even though you tell yourself that you are smarter than her in some meaningless subjects, you know that she is more successful because she is smarter than you in the game of life.

I saw this book at the mall "How to work for difficult people", every time I heard my boss coming, I'd pick it up like I was reading it. I knew I had won when he snatched it from me and yelled "I'm not difficult to work with".
As a boss, I'd have snatched it and said "I need this book more than you do. No reading on the clock."

At an old retail job, one of the managers was real buddy buddy with the store manager. He used to sit in his office a lot and talk. One day he told a few of us he was going to go talk to him in his office. As a joke I looked at him and said, “Don’t forget your knee pads.” He was pissed at me for a week. Everyone else just bit their tongues and tried not to laugh.
So being a smart arse is my trait.

Subtle things you do to piss off your boss.
I had turned down the role four different times it was offered because I make 2-3 times his "manager's salary" in commissions. I've outsold him for years by many million$ every year, I have forged extensive business relationships in the government, in the military and in international defense contractors, and have now started making inroads into biotechnology and life science research organizations. He used to sell products to public school systems. He has no clue how to do or keep up with what I do and he's as useless as a set of salt and pepper shakers to a paraplegic.

I had sex twice tonight. It was fantastic.

My former boss wanted all calls, including his own employees to go through his administrative assistant. Even though his office was a few doors down from mine and he was in his office, I had to call the assistant so she could "patch" me through to him.
The morning cleaning crew accidentally hit his extension from my phone when they were cleaning my desk. I had a stern "talking to" from my supervisor about it.
I figured out we had a spare phone line in a supply closet that no one really knew about. I hooked up a phone and when I dialed my extension, instead of saying the employee's name who was calling, it just said "Ext 244". I would dial his number a few time per day, let it ring once and hang up.
We had countless meetings on it and he put my supervisor in charge to find out where it was coming from. No one could ever find it. This went on for almost a month and then they put in a call to the phone company to find the line. Then the fun was over. Thankfully, he left a few years ago.
Incredible.
