Stir the pot
means to say or do something on purpose to create tension, drama, or conflict — especially when things were already peaceful.
Examples:
1- At work, the team had agreed on a plan. But she brought up an old disagreement again, just to get a reaction. She wasn’t helping — she was stirring the pot.
2- Online, some people don’t want discussion. They want attention. So they post comments just to stir the pot.
