How it's used

It is frequently used to describe children acting out or adults who are being deliberately obstructive.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 攪事, which is a more general term for causing trouble. 攪生晒 specifically emphasizes the resulting chaos or the public nature of the disruption, almost like creating a spectacle.
