"That" song by Neurosis Alanisette, it's not ironic, it's just bad luck, you whingy cow.

I'd like to add:

People who use the word 'absolutely' to look more knowledgeable - numpty

Dammit, there was another one as well and I forgot it!

Losing your stopwatch. Searching the house for your bloody stopwatch. Finally accepting that after 5 weeks of losing your stopwatch that it's time to replace it with a fancy GPS watch. Ordering and receiving said watch and then spotting your stopwatch sat on a pile of stuff on your desk, which you've searched A THOUSAND TIMES for it. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

*throws stopwatch out of the window*

When your housemate complains that you have put your washing in as she was about to do it despite some of the dishes sitting there on the side since about Wednesday.

I had to do mine, there was no room to actually leave mine waiting to be washed. (Plus 10 minutes later they are washed, dried, and in the cupboard).

My sisters fiance going for a pee, and leaving the door wide open so I can see/hear everything, and then not pulling the flush!!

Not really irrational but I detest people who chat during meetings. I attend three or four meetings a day on the rig and at almost every one, there are people having private conversations somewhere in the room. Now I dislike meetings as much as the next man but, on the rig, most of our meetings concern safety and it is therefore important we pay attention.

Apart from being distracting, it is very disrespectful to the person talking at the time and to the rest of the crew who are trying to pay attention.

I have been known to stand up in the middle of a safety meeting, point at the perpetrators and announce to the entire crew that these people don't care about our safety, in an effort to shame them.
