In "To Kill a Mockingbird", what does Jem do to make Scout angry?

This is a fairly broad question, as older brothers in general tend to do a lot to make their younger siblings upset. I can give you a few examples, so I hope that helps. 

1. As Jem gets older, he starts acting more superior than Scout, treating her in the same way that Atticus, her father, treats her by trying to tell her what to do.

2. Makes fun of her, calling her "Angel May" when she is hesitant about going up to the Radley's house.

3. After Jem is angered by Mrs. Dubose, not only does he destroy Mrs. Dubose's bushes, but he also breaks Scouts brand - new baton.
