Not exactly irrational but...

People that leave work, lock the door and set the alarm without checking if anyone else (me) is left in the buildling.

Currently locked in work

Waiting for wifey to arrive and let me out! Fortunately I had a spare key at home, lol!

LMFAO !

You should've set the alarm off and waited 36 hours for the police to arrive.....

Managers without a basic grasp of English. Try proofreading your emails and using the spell check. Oh and grammer isn't that white haired old bird who sits in the corner.

GRAMMAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geeky things:

Customers that don't secure their web servers. That use stupid passwords. That then complain when it's nigh on impossible to pull their balls out of the fire due to how riddled with back doors and worse that their server has become. That don't have backups of their content.
Use your brains you absolute morons.

Windows servers. 'nuff said.

My Manager did exactly this yesterday - she sent a consultant an email (which ironically about teachers) saying that his 'grammer' was awful.

Sticking with the biker theme: When I'm riding my scooter at exactly 30mph in a 30mph zone and some tool really aggressively overtakes me, only to get to a queue of 30 cars which I promptly ride to the front of. Last time it was a Porsche with the top down so I pulled up next to him and said 'You having fun there sweetheart?' ***k.

Certain phrases:

"Turning Around". I have these visions of people doing wee little spinny twirls on the spot during these conversations:

Madame Spinny: "I turned around *wheee* and said blah blah blah and then she turned around *whheee* and said O Rly back!"

"Hitting the road". I think the reason I don't like this phrase is from when I was a scooter driver and 5mins after telling someone "I'm going to hit the road now" was cut up in the pouring rain causing me to skid on a drain and then fly off, thus quite literally "hitting" the road.

"To sleep like a baby". If you did that, you'd be knackered. Stupid phrase.

People who say "Personally" at the start of all sentences it can be plonked at and also those who say "Basically" (although I know I fall into this category from time to time).

I think it's been mentioned before but when people use "literally" and "ironically" out of context. Makes me want to slap them!

People who talk the talk but won't walk the walk. (I say this and I also don't like this phrase, also it's probably not irrational either!

). This is from a magic thing though, having watched some people who don't make an effort to demonstrate anything criticise (sometimes constructively but often down the nose) those who DO perform something. To me criticism is fine but give it with due care, suggestions of improvement and blooming well give credit to those who try in the first place!!

Expensive clothing for kids. Okay, I get that they *maybe* better quality but they're going to grow out of it in 2months time!

Bright yellow cars. Well those which aren't Lamborghinis. I don't even like Lamborghinis in bright yellow but I can accept it as it's their kind of thing.

Certain fringes/Hair Doos. Often fashion irritates me too. I get it, but don't at the same time. I mean seriously, what the HECK is it with girlies who do their hair up, pulling their fringe back and then fluffing it forward so they have this big stupid lump on the front of their head?! Makes me want to cut it off!

One other possible not irrational but needs to be said thing... people who have the most unhelpful replies ever. Example:

Mrs Cooking Fat: "I have a headache *sad face sad face*"
Mrs Cupid Stunt: "I don't"

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaT!?! Or people who ask if you're all right and then when you say no they start to explain a similar situation they were in and how they felt and how hard it's been on them.... and actually don't care what's wrong in the first place! And I don't mean like those who say similar situations and apply it and say "this is what I've done in the past, why don't you try that?" it's the "oh the same happened to me. I didn't survive too well and I'm still suffering because of it. It's so painful to me. I don't know what to do. What do you think I should do" people! Why did you ask me if I am okay in the first place if you were just going to go on about you!?!

Most of the above I have seen/heard or experienced in the past week. And all of them have made me go "ARrrrrrrrrrrGH" inside!!
