We all need communication - messengers allow us to always stay in touch with friends, even if they are on the other side of the Earth. But, as with digital hygiene, it’s worth following the rules of correspondence. If you communicate with friends, then you can be quite comfortable without them. What if it’s a boss or a stranger? Here, I think, it’s worth remembering the rules of decency. We won’t look at them, we’ll just talk about what annoys us the most. Make yourself comfortable - it will be interesting!

Why are emoticons needed?
Emoticons and emoji exist to add emotion to your messages. As a rule, two or three emoji are appropriate in one short message. I'm sure you've come across friends who abused this by inserting five to ten identical emojis in a row into their messages. Don't believe me? See for yourself.
Celebrities, to put it mildly, overdo it with emojis in their posts
I agree, there are situations when this is appropriate, but from the outside it looks like you don’t know how to communicate otherwise. And emoticons replace your words and entire sentences. Even if you write a long message, supporting each thought with a reaction, it may seem strange, and the interlocutor’s smile will quickly fade away, turning into heavy sighs and bewilderment.

What should I say?
But ignoring a person is an art that needs to be honed and trained for a long time in order for it to look truly impressive and not to break down in the process. For most of us, it is much easier to humiliate a person with words. The main thing is to choose them correctly.
Truth and sore spots
“It’s easy and pleasant to tell the truth,” said one book character, and he was right. But how rarely do we do this in everyday life! We will never tell a fat person that he is fat, or an ugly person that he is ugly. We are taught politeness from childhood and that is why the truth can be so painful. If you hit it in a weak spot, it will definitely humiliate and confuse a person.
You should take a closer look and identify what the interlocutor is worried about the most. It could be:
- Appearance . Many people suffer from this, and humiliating a person without swearing is the easiest way in this area. Maybe he has one ear higher than the other? Maybe he has a big nose? Maybe he has acne, although he is no longer a teenager, or has thin, sparse hair? Maybe if it's a woman, she looks older than her age? For every shortcoming you can come up with a biting phrase. - “Have you ever tried to fly on them?” - a person with big ears. - “Yes, you can hang yourself on such a nose!” - big-nosed. - “Madam, you are so well preserved for your forties” - to a thirty-year-old woman.
- Low level of intelligence . Truly stupid people rarely feel this way, but everyone else may doubt the level of their intelligence and suffer from it. - “Are you so stupid from birth, or did you take lessons?” - “When everyone was standing in line for the mind, you were probably asleep and missed everything.” - “What is 6 by 8? Are you sure? That's what I thought."
- Low earnings . If a person earns little, this is most likely his weak point. But you need to look carefully - if a person earns little because of his own ideology, it will not be possible to offend him in this field. But the rest can be teased. - "Let's go to the cinema? Oh, you have no money again.” - “Poverty is not a vice, as they say, but I couldn’t live like that.” - “You wouldn’t even have money for matches.”
- Low cultural level . If a person is not educated, he can be ridiculed with special taste. - “Who’s playing on the radio, Bach or Mozart?” - “You seem to have stepped out of Picasso’s paintings.” - “Didn’t Dostoevsky write about you?” Most likely, the person will not even understand the ridicule, but more educated listeners will be able to laugh.
For men, a separate point, often a weak point, is potency. In a dispute with an opponent, you can humiliate a person by saying that he is so angry because he is not able to satisfy a woman in bed. Or say something like “If you were such a lion in bed as you are here, girls would follow you in herds.”
For women, external attractiveness is often a weak point. You can hint to her that she looks old, fat or has small breasts - and if you do it softly and sympathetically, it will be doubly humiliating.
The main thing is the ability to observe, draw conclusions and hit exactly the weak spot that hurts a person.
Demonstrating your superiority
People don't like to be shown that they are worse than others. Therefore, a very effective means of humiliation will be to show that you can handle something better.
- You can use more expensive things, you can mention that you were on vacation or in an interesting place - but so that it does not look like bragging, but something completely natural for you.
- You can wear expensive clothes.
- You can even offer an unpleasant person participation in an event for which he obviously does not have enough money, and enjoy his reaction.
Reminders and revelations
If you have a good memory, you can be great at putting others in their place by reminding them of the stupid or embarrassing things they've done, the stupid things they've said, and the puddles they've gotten into.
You can even make them look like fools in front of mutual friends by divulging some secret and being sincerely surprised by the negative reaction - “Oh, well, I thought we were all our own here, why are you embarrassed.”
The main thing is to justify yourself with the best intentions, so that in the eyes of others you do not turn into a bore who keeps reminding a good person of his mistakes.
Messages one word at a time
Sometimes you can’t express your thoughts in one message and have to send a couple more. It happens that one word at a time. I call it “addition,” as stand-up comedians say, but in society this phenomenon is called “parceling.”
Parcellation is a figure of speech that represents the process of dividing a statement into two or more independent phrases.
There is nothing wrong with this for the sender: he sent it and it was good. But you make the recipient of the messages nervous: firstly, it rivets the person to the smartphone screen. Secondly, he is unlikely to be pleased when the phone vibrates several times in a row.
One of the troubles of modern online communication
Thirdly, if he is in a public place, for example, in a gym, notification sounds distract other people from training, unsettling him with the constant beeping of the smartphone at full volume. Try to express your own thoughts more concisely - this is how we write articles for our Yandex.Zen. Or try writing sentences on a new line instead of hitting submit.
How to take revenge on a woman's phone number?
Some methods intended for men, after making some adjustments, are quite capable of unbalancing a woman. For example, you can post a lady’s number on a resource where they offer yours. However, with a barrage of incomprehensible or scary calls and SMS spam, a woman will most likely quickly change her phone number.
If you know how to endure and wait, you can take revenge on a woman in a more sophisticated way. For example, portray a secret admirer. Few women can resist the onslaught of a romantic and persistent gentleman who, by hook or by crook, got hold of his beloved’s number and bombards her with lyrical and frank messages. And the correspondence that has become intimate can be shown to the lady’s husband, friend or acquaintances.
Why are voice messages annoying?
Audio messages are very helpful when it is not possible to write in text. But there are people who abuse it. Firstly, you should not send voice messages that are too short. Secondly, it’s better not to record them in the wind or against a background of terrifying noise - they simply won’t hear you. Thirdly, finally learn to hold the phone correctly without covering the microphone with your finger.
Check with your interlocutor if he can listen to you
Stop ! No one can understand your babble even with headphones. In addition, voice messages are similar to text messages - it is better to send a two-minute voice than a dozen short ones. As they say: nothing is clear, but very interesting.

What can you do if you know the number - scammers and their games
Did scammers find out your number? How can this threaten you in real life? What can you do today using a phone number? How to get other data knowing only the phone number? A thousand questions. We will try to answer and give recommendations.
What real harm can scammers cause to a person by knowing his phone number - it turns out that it is very, very great. And what you can find out about a person, knowing only his phone number - it turns out, very, very much. How? Everything is very, very simple and outrageously elementary. Don't believe me? Then let's go...
You yourself give out the number for free
From all kinds of entertainment sites to serious software, you voluntarily register by leaving your phone number in their database for free. But how to get, knowing the phone number, all your other data - this will be discussed below.
Think about it! According to statistics, 90% of people voluntarily provide a phone number to which all their confidential information is linked (bank cards, social network accounts and instant messengers)!
1. Third party programs. Here is a striking example. Back in 2022, there was just a mad boom for the GetContact program. It positioned itself as “Entertainment Software”. For a little money, you provided her with your phone number, and she gave you the name under which you are listed in other phone books (family, friends, colleagues). Oh, how cool, right? No, not great! Thus, within 1 month of the program’s existence, users voluntarily created a unique multi-million dollar personal data base... who needed it and why... let’s believe that for simple statistics...
2. Messengers and social networks. There, when registering, they ask for your phone number or email. And most people link their accounts to their phone. We won't say anything about Facebook. So everyone knows how the personal data of registered users easily passes into third hands at the first request. Although, the same can be applied to all other decent communication services.
3. Free Wi-Fi. If you still use free Wi-Fi in a cafe, airport or metro, you can be sure that your phone number is in numerous databases. But what you can do if you know the phone number, we will talk about this a little later.
4. Dating sites, advertisements and other sites (lottery, ordering goods and food, home repairs, consultation with a psychologist, funny postcards, interesting videos, horoscopes, etc., etc.). Here we ourselves leave our phone numbers for feedback. And then we wonder how an unknown person could find out my number? Yes, it’s all from the same place. You probably don’t even remember what other sites you registered with and where else you left your phone numbers.
5. Numbers written down on pieces of paper. The advertisements that we hang on street poles, pinned to the windshield of the car, left on the desktop, and so on and so forth - everywhere you leave your phone number.
Do you know my phone number? So what's next?
So, we come to the main thing - what can a scammer do if he only knows a phone number? Let's figure it out together.
Autocorrect on your phone
Automatically replacing a misspelled word in a text helps in about 8 cases out of 10. This is useful when you don’t know how to spell a word correctly - the smartphone corrects everything itself. But let’s return to parcellation: we write a huge number of messages, first we press “Send”, and only then we realize that autocorrect has corrected the desired word.
No grandfathers were harmed during the creation of the screenshot
You have to delete the message or rely on the intelligence of the interlocutor so that he understands everything himself. In general, in my opinion, this is funny, but when it is repeated over and over again, it feels as if the technology itself decides who is in charge.
How to punish a person knowing his phone number without getting into trouble?
When planning revenge, you should keep in mind that some methods are far from harmless. According to the law, it is forbidden to disturb people’s sleep at night, spread defamatory gossip via phone numbers, damage property, or insult people. Legal revenge may involve collecting evidence of the offender’s illegal actions and filing a complaint with law enforcement agencies. You can report to the police for vandalism, theft, threats, stalking, etc.
And if the offender did not commit anything that can be presented at the court hearing, it is best to abandon revenge altogether. Treat this person’s dirty tricks as the actions of a narrow-minded individual. And revenge, most likely, will be carried out by life itself. After all, a person always receives with a boomerang what he himself sends.
WhatsApp message unread
Sometimes it's good to take a break from chat notifications. I’m sure it also scares you when your interlocutor, who has already turned off visiting hours, stops reading your messages. The question arises: why was the message not read ? The thing is that the read report was disabled. On the one hand, this is a useful feature of instant messengers: you can calmly read the message and take a timeout for a balanced response.
When you're waiting for your WhatsApp message to be read
On the other hand, do not be lazy to warn those you are communicating with about this: in such a situation, the interlocutor may think that you are ignoring incoming messages out of resentment. Not only is this annoying, but you're also likely to get a ton of "What's up?" messages. or “Where did you go?”
The nuances of revenge
Problems can come from anywhere: a loved one abandoned you, your boss is a tyrant who ruined your career, noisy neighbors. When an ordinary person who has not caused any inconvenience is subjected to vile blows, his desire for revenge will be completely just.
But it is worth remembering that you need to act fairly - no matter how vile the enemy acts.
There is no need to be like him, it is better to act on the principle of “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.” It is important to imagine the consequences that revenge can lead to - no need to go beyond the law .
In addition, revenge must be individual, except if the harm was caused to more than one person. There is no need to involve other people in the implementation of your plans, because they can tell someone about it, and this information will reach the enemy.
How to piss someone off with words
Just tell me what’s the matter already!
Bonus: Each of us has encountered a situation where a loved one or friend wrote something in the spirit of “Listen, I need your advice.” You answer after 0.000001 seconds, and they tell you “Nothing.” And then the conversation turns into catch-up: you want the interlocutor to tell you what he wanted, but everything is in vain. Why do this? Isn’t it easier to explain so as not to irritate the person! In my opinion, this is the worst thing you can do in correspondence.

Creativity
Getting someone mad is an art for some people. If you use your imagination, everyone can win. The most interesting way is to ask other people to call a specific person. However, the calls are simply boring and will be ignored. It is necessary to study the situation for which a person needs revenge. If he insulted you, then you can turn to professional actors. Next, you need to ask them to call a certain number and introduce themselves as lawyers who are calling the offender to court because of insults. A person will get scared if he receives messages and calls from a large number of actors. He will not understand what is going on, which is why his nerves are damaged.
