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

I don't have a problem with unallocated seating ar Easyjet. It's specifically RyanAir that I loathe with a passion.

I used to always get BOGOF when I was single - freeze if it freezes, put it in the cupboard if it's sauces/preserves, whatever - if it's household stuff, buy it and store it. Pretty sure a large proportion of stuff I buy on BOGOF isn't perishable/unstoreable. Works out WAY cheaper in the longrun for stuff you usually buy.

I don't like them so I couldn't give a ****. Tell the people who put 'this product may contain nuts' on packets of peanuts, not me

I house share :s one freezer shelf doesn't freeze that much stuff! And we have no space

Actually, that's quite a rational thing to annoy me :P

Especially if it's a light coloured shirt and you proceed to bleed on it.. Bar stewards!

My irrational hatred for today - people asking me what I want for Christmas....

This is a really stupid one but it really does annoy me

News stories where like lets say someones died, the news reader says

"the family are devastated" No really, i'd expect them to be happy!

or when a child in a school has had an accident and died, and the head teacher comes out and says

"so and so was a credit to our school and will be sorely missed" you can't have known everyone in the school Mr/Mrs headteacher, so how do you come to know so much about that person. Why are the ones that die always the shining light.

"There has been a frost overnight, so the roads might be slippery" No! How did that happen?

Im not really giving brilliant examples, its more the stating of the obvious like we should be surprised.
(see I told you it was stupid)

Sorry to post twice, another example on the news this morning, that couple who were freed in Somalia are "going to receive counselling when they get home" REALLY? You think?
