For example, at any point during a run when the pace is not too fast (e.g. first few miles) start race walking right beside someone. Making really exaggerated gestures is a plus. This is sure to piss the person off at least a little bit.

Jumping in puddles... saying "i know a great route" and then take them all into a forest where you've hidden a switchblade
Reach in the back of your shorts and pull out a Baby Ruth candy bar. Say you dont have any TP, then eat it.
As you run through your running buddy's neighborhood, ask him if you can stop by his house to use the bathroom. Once inside the house, slay his family. He'll be jacked.
Many years ago, I was running a half-marathon as a training workout. Along the way, I started talking to a runner who was keying off me. We decided to run together and started chatting. For whatever reason, we started singing Chuck Berry songs.
As our pace picked up, we started passing folk while still in full song. We got some of the most pissed off looks I've seen from the running crowd.
add: pre-emptory comment...the singing was actually quite good although I must admit we didn't go for the harmony stuff.
that's not annoying, that's just retarded. The best way to annoy someone is to hammer or throw in surges on an easy run.
Our team has actually discussed this topic: what to do to annoy the freshman when they come in just as a sort of "initiation to running with us" thing. We said we'd like to run really close to them. And run right next to them and bump shoulders and/or arms alot and pretend not to notice. If they say anything just say you didn't realize but keep doing it, then get in front of them and slow down just enough they have to move over to avoid hitting you...and do it ever couple minutes on a run.
Also run up fast behind them and stick your hand out to avoid running into them all the time, and then you might tell them to make sure they keep a consistent pace and stop slowing down even though it is obvious you did the speeding up. Have fun kids.
When running behind someone, push their elbow forward when they swing it back. Very frustrating and messes up their whole stride. Works well in races too.
No matter what, stay one step ahead of whomever you're running with . . .

Do it with a closed fist so it hits their funny bone - a great way to piss some one off while they spend an whole mile shaking their arm out.
the half-stepping thing is good too. no better way to piss someone off than to half-step them on an easy 10.
When they bring their heel back, kick it across so it gets caught on their other leg as the bring it back forwards. If they don't go falling flat onto their face, it'll at least trip them up a bit.
Fine contributions from the Letsrun community! I suggest talking a lot about the times you could have run back in high school if your coach wasn't an idiot and you didn't have injury problems. Another strong move is insistantly running a few steps ahead of everyone when you don't know where you're going.
I want to f***ing kill all half-steppers.
