Someone who is aggravator maxxing isn't just casually stirring the pot; they have identified their talent and are actively working on it, which makes the whole thing somehow more impressive and more exhausting at the same time.
The act of deliberately and systematically behaving as rudely or aggressively as possible, often as a strategy to dominate social situations, get one's way, or repel unwanted interactions. Sometimes used ironically about someone who seems to take pride in being difficult.
