A/N: This story was inspired by Alex_Beckett's story Top 18 ways to annoy Sidney Perlmutter. .net/s/6908365/1/Top_Eighteen_Ways_to_Annoy_Sidney_Perlmutter

I give full credit for the idea to Alex Beckett and you should definitely read his story and I give full credit to Andrew Marlowe and the ABC for the wonderful characters they have given us.

I will be updating this hopefully fairly regularly but no promises as I actually try and somewhat research for my stories which means going back through old episodes to find moments that benefit the story.

Also not all chapters are going to be how to annoy the characters either.

This list is in no particular order except for 1 & 2 because I wasn't able to determine which ones were more/less annoying for Beckett.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the story, please read and review. :)
