Common life goals include starting a business, living on a beach or atop a mountain, obtaining a college degree, and, if a recent Twitter search is to be believed, getting President-elect Donald Trump to block you on Twitter.

A lot of people have taken it upon themselves to poke the orange-tinged bear until he decides he no longer wants to see you in his mentions.

We're not here to comment on whether this is a worthy life goal, so we'll just leave you with a bit or evidence to show we're not making it up.

These folks are in luck, because, turns out, plenty of people say the president-elect has already blocked them on his favorite social media platform. Here are a few ways you can accomplish that dream.

Tweet videos of your cat assaulting a Trump doll

I suppose we do.

That tweet is from June 16, 2015, and was preceded by tweets such as this one, below, which probably engaged Trump's Twitter-blocking fingers.

But I like to think he unblocked the cat only to see the below video, at which point he re-blocked.

Insult his hair

Trump, as you may have guessed or seen or read about, is a little sensitive when it comes to his physical appearance.

He does not like when unflattering photos of him appear in major media outlets. He doesn't want you to believe his hands are anything but normal-sized. He doesn't want you to believe another part of his body located (presumably) around his waist is anything but adequately-sized, either.

So maybe you won't be surprised that this person says Trump blocked her because she insulted his hair.

And she's far from the only one to notice Trump gets a little sensitive about these things.

"What's weird is he's from New York and he can't take commentary, and that's a very New York thing," Jason Ramos, a New Jersey realtor who says he's also been blocked by Donald Trump for occasionally poking fun at the president-elect, told Mashable. "He has names on big buildings and gold and he can't take a comment like, 'hey buddy, is that like a muskrat on your head?'"

Insult his wiener

As mentioned above, Trump is sensitive to comments about his physical anatomy. Men who are sensitive to comments about their physical anatomy are almost certainly most sensitive to comments about their penis. Insulting the president-elect's penis size is, it seems, a good way to get him to block you. I will repeat this because it is one of those things that should probably be repeated: the president-elect of the most powerful nation in the world is flustered by dick jokes.

Try it out, if you want. Both of the above gentlemen say Trump has blocked them.

Compare him to an oompa loompa

Again with the physical appearances thing.

Though it probably doesn't hurt to throw in a comparison to Adolf Hitler.

"I think like, what would bother him? And I sort of pick on that," Wilson, a comedy writer who lives in Canada and is semi-concerned that his occasional Trump-trolling will prevent him from crossing Canada's southern border in the near future, told Mashable.

Remind him that he treats women like some folks treat old coats

According to Elizabeth West, this is the tweet that did it.

Tell The Donald that the world will one day forget him

If what Julie from Cincinnati says is true, then it turns out that the man who stamps his last name in giant shiny letters across hotels found in countries around the world really, really doesn't want people to forget him. He hates the idea so much that, if you tell him history books will not include his name, he will block you.

Be compellingly anti-Trump

But all of the above folks should perhaps bow down before the apparent champion of both Trump's ire and attention.

The below account is decidedly anti-Trump, but apparently so anti-Trump that the president-elect waffles between blocking the account and unblocking it to read through anti-Trump tweets and then getting so angry again he decides to block it once more.

Alright, there you are. Go forth and be blocked.
