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

I think it goes beyond extremism for me. I don't mind if people have extreme views as long as they can back it up with a well reasoned rationale and are willing to have a proper debate. It's closed minded bigots that are the problem.

Good point - I guess by extremism I mean irrational extremism - blinkered and blind opinions. Passion and being extreme is not a bad thing


Extreme ironing is too dangerous for me though

People who leave clothes and bags over the bench in the changing room. There are lockers and pegs and even bloody clothing hangers available but no, they have to leave stuff over the bench so you can't even sit down to tie your laces grr

That stuff doesn't have to stay on the bench...

I fear it may not come out in a state you are completely happy with

One thing that annoys me if people on busy trains that sit with an empty seat between them and the window. You know it's busy, you know the aisles are full of people standing and being too British to ask you to move your inconsiderate behind to the other seat.

Grrr! Its a small office! I stood in the middle of it and said you stupid bint!

Does you printer have a manual feed tray you can pull out? If so, set your printer on the computer to feed from the manual tray when you want to and then the printer will wait for you to pop your paper in for printing

People who wear casual shirts with the top button done up. Probably number one in my list of 'things you can do to instantly make you look like a plum'.

I've got one

Why can't people write phone numbers the correct way? Why write a mobile number 077201 234 56 when it's obviously 07720 123 456? And why do people in London not how to do their own area codes properly? It's 020 7*** **** or 020 8*** **** not 0208 or 0207 :angryface:

I have the same here with 02380 123456 it's 023 80123456
though with my mobile no I do split it 0791 2345 678 just flows better that way.

Related one: When you're reading out your phone number to someone on the phone and they repeat it back to you. That's fine, but when I say 'Zero seven seven' they invariably say 'Okay, Oh seven seven'...and I feel like I've been told off. 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!
