There are opponents that are bent on annoying you while you play. They either do so deliberately to their opponents or that is how they just they are.
This kind of tactic can be distracting and give your opponent leverage.

How don’t think one can handle such aggressive players?
 
Personally, I enjoy playing at aggressive tables. While there’s a higher risk of going bust, it’s easier to build momentum and extract value from overly aggressive players when you have strong hands.

Whenever I notice that players at my table are playing aggressively, I adjust by looking for spots where I can get extra value, setting traps and putting myself in positions to get paid.
