Irrational things that annoy you (and non irrational things too come to think of it)

I don't understand.

But then I don't really care either we've got a 10 digit number 5 area code/5 number.

What the BT guy told me was about the old standard 081 and 0181

Then whilst you are WRONG!, I shall not irrationally hate you

Sound fair?

[Will]

You can hate me - I still wouldn't give a ****

And I believe I'm right, so as far as I'm concerned it's all good!

So then the next person I speak to I'm careful to say 'Oh seven seven' and then they say 'Zero seven seven'...Just repeat what I say and stop making me feel silly!

My mobile number is great for confusing the hell out of people when I recite it to them as the second 6 digits is the same as the first 5 but with an extra '1' in there. Must admit I sometimes play on it deliberately. It usually goes along the lines of:

Other person: "What's your number"
Me: "07xxx"
/Other person Types/write down this bit
Me: 071xxx with the emphasis on the '1'
/Other person starts altering the bit they've already noted down thinking I'm correcting them.

What pisses me off is when I go to enter my parents' phone number on automated web forms and it rejects it as an invalid number. It's a five-digit code followed by a five-digit number - didn't think that combo was all that rare.
