As a matter of interest, the above behaviour is illegal in Germany.  It's 
illegal to do anything that is considered pretty likely to annoy another 
reasonable person to the point that they might do something irrational.  
Technically, the term is "Noetigung" - "incitement".

3 points and a $250 fine.
