Challenge the person for an answer: Dare the person to speak up. Dare the person to answer

There are some situation whereby there are just some annoying people who snigger, make rude remarks in the background when one is speaking in the group. It doesn't help if one speaks up or ask questions and put into the spotlight because one wants to know more or there are matters that should be pointed out to the speaker. The annoying people are usually cowards who linger in the background because they are afraid to ask questions in public and faced others or they are simply annoying because it is in their nature to be annoying. In this situation, challenge them to answer or debate you in public right in front of the group.


When you put them into the spotlight, they will freak themselves to death and would pose less troublesome to you later. Simply ask them rational questions that they should answer. If they snigger some stupid answer in the background to the question you have just asked the speaker. Holding the microphone and pointing to the snigerer in public and ask him "The question is directed to the speaker? Are you the speaker?" He is obviously not the speaker and would tame down.


There are other options available such as "What is so funny about the question?" Ask the person to identify himself and he may freak out because the fact he is sniggering in the background is because he is a coward in the first place. These cowards would be so scared and so surprise that people are not afraid of them. They snigger because they think they can be annoying and get away in the dark. Or, suggest that they become the speaker if they are so good and know everything.
