I know people who do this, and I have to resist the urge to bait them. Frankly, I find behaviors like this manipulative, and have enough of a cantankerous streak to manipulate back, if I notice it and become irritated enough. Another side of this is that I've seen people do this when frustrated, and after a while it can start feeling nasty and passive-aggressive and difficult to respond to. Or be around.
