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.
 
Aggressive players can bring in a lot of stress and pressure. I was literally talking about this today after i saw one guy kept raising every hand like it was a competition. In that situation, all you need is to calm down and watch. Those kind people burn themselves at the end of the day.
 
Playing aggressively is fine, a lot of people are aggressive player when they are playing for money, and playing casino games like Poker that require little bit of planning and thinking also sometimes require aggression. However, I have issues with aggressive behavior, I do not like people who are aggressive towards other people. I would leave the table.
