Perhaps they are under pressure or struggling at the moment. Is there anything you can do to improve the situation rather that escalating the problems.
Sometimes speaking to someone directly is the easiest fix.
If you have tried all that as others have said report to HR |

I do agree, it will probably end up going down that road, just want to annoy him first as payback |

If you’re having struggles with your manager, it’s more likely due to lack of effective communication and clear expectations from Manager/direct. Talking directly to your Manager, being constructive and transparent, will help you understand that disconnect and how you can resolve it.
If you keep thinking on your own, you will create a greater gap with assumptions, perhaps even being personal (which is what I’m getting from your posts here). If your manager isn’t taking the step to approach you to resolve/explain, you take lead on it. HR escalations requires tangible proof of misconduct/behaviour to investigate and if you choose to pursue that route, showing that you have tried to proactively resolve those differences/challenges with your manager, will only strengthen any HR escalation you proceed with.
Best of luck and I hope you can resolve your work challenges in an appropriate manner |

To be honest it's a job and you're an adult wanting doing things to annoy him that just first reeks of immaturity. Maybe actually act like an adult and talk to them or just put your head down and do your job instead of looking for ways to annoy him. Doing that stuff the only one losing out will be you in the end. |

Not easy to deal with, but Guys like that only have as much power as you give them. That doesn't mean you're weak, just a nice guy. Play it smart, find flaws in his decision making, undermine him in front of his superiors etc. Set him up for a fall if needs be! Or go the other way and tell I'm to lay off, that you want to help him hit goals/ targets etc but let's try to work as a team. (Maybe this only works in Carlsberg land) lol
If it's any consolation it's usually a sign they have much bigger personal problems.
Ps I love the prawns idea |

Ever eaten wasabi chocolate? It's real, and it's the vilest thing known to man.
I once offered it to a manager I had issues with. Watching him grapple with the dilemma of having to spit it out and offend me, or actually swallow it was the greatest monent of my life... |

Don't mind all that constructive "advice" OP.. we all know there is only one option
Next time he's chewing you out drop into a full Van Damme split and fire a right cross straight to the dick
You're colleagues will love you and you'll probably get the ride out of it |

"Was thinking the same
Maybe solve the problem he has "
So true
He never told his story why he’s being targeted
As a Manager myself I’d rather you come and talk to me and sort out our differences , see what the problem is!!!!
I’ve been wrong with decisions in my job and had to bite the bullet and hold up my hands and apologise
Nothing that can’t be sorted by communicating

My experience in employment is that the employee with a chip on their shoulder is one of the biggest obstacles in daily life. There's three sides to everything. |

"Anyone a way to annoy a boss that is treating you like shit.
Can't punch him in the face??"
Don’t do that obviously, if you like the job and want to keep it then play the long game. Take a note of every incident and anything said and then if it continues to get worse take it to HR. You’ll have a lot more leverage against him if you have notes |

How about you try and resolve whatever issues you have by asking for a meeting? As someone said above, being a manager I'd rather sort things out with people I'm working. It sounds like you're probably both being petty, I say you as well considering your looking for advice on how to piss him off. You're both grown men, act like it. |
