Angela's guide to annoying her colleagues. I did one for Brennan now here is one for Angela.


Squeal, loudly. Squeal loudly and often. Generally, this annoyed everyone. Even her darling Jack.

So let's start with Jack:

Grab him in the middle of the day, pull him into the closet, get him up real close and then- after- tell him you faked it. That really got the boy rolling.

Or sit there chattering incessantly about Brennan, Booth, and the crazy love theories, when he is researching some little known bug from Turkey. Or squash the little known bug from Turkey.

With Cam, it was also easy- she hated the word Sweetie. Drop it into conversation twenty times a day and watch Cam smile politely and wish she could bang her perfectly straightened head of hair against the shiny, metal slab.

That or constantly make eyes at Jack across the table. Smouldering, 'closet later? Yeah baby' eyes.

Brennan was the most fun to annoy:

Push her closer to Booth every time they're together, contemplate how hot they would be together, what their kids would be called- she had some great ideas for that one. Planning their imminent wedding- they were going to get married if they liked it or not.

Persuade Brennan to get married. Watch her launch into some spiel on Aztecs or whatever. Then quote lyrics on the subject of love and see that little crease between her eyebrows grow even more pronounced.

Zack? Zack was a peach. Not literally of course. He was taking after Brennan in the whole 'I don't know what that means'. This meant sex jokes are always fun or innuendo- with or about Jack, when Zack is around.

The rhyming between Jack and Zack's names also proved to be some fun. Jack and Zack sat on mat... Maybe not.

But Zack's middle name is Uriah so call him that and he does pout.

However, the one person who Angela found hard to annoy was Booth. If she flirts, he flirts back. Jokingly if course- she is not his world-renowned anthropologist. Mention his love of 'Bones'- which is so obviously there and he doesn't get annoyed he just smiles at her and makes an excuse to go see the mentioned woman. Tease him about his ties and he'll come in the next day wearing an even brighter one- same with the socks. The hideous socks.

The only thing that had ever got him was laughing at his car. Or lack of.

Or why do you need a giant gas-guzzling thing when you could have a cute mini?
