Like tennis scores.

15! WFT? Why 15?
30 err, ok.. I get it.... 15 points every time...
40 WTF?? Why is that only worth 10??

and then you get all that Deuce and Advantage rubbish.

and then you have games, sets, matches, 6-4 6-4 6-2 and all that!

Why not just make it first to 4 wins that "game" and the first to win 15 "games" wins the "match"?

Actually, tradition is a bit of an annoyance to me. Why do we score/play/do it like that... because it's tradition, that's how they always scored/played/did it.

The Milky Way adverts coming back and by cutting out the majority of the advert missing the entire point of them while doing so.

Toilets that seem to be designed specifically not to flush toilet paper. It just sits there on the surface of the water spinning round.

People who don't adjust their windscreen wipers according to the weather.

It's raining a bit, but they've got them going full pelt, or it's stopped raining, and they still have them on the timer setting, which ends up making that awful noise that actually hurts my ears.

James Martin on Saturday kitchen being a tightwad. His little jibes whenever people use more expensive ingredients and making a massive deal out of it all whenever he uses truffles. Shut up you tight git

It may or may not be irrational but text entry boxes on websites where the creator has put in some helpful little message "Enter postcode here" or whatever that doesn't automatically disappear when you click into the box and start entering text.

Infuriating, especially when using a phone.

Definitely irrational this one; those who buy a new Xbox game, split the perforated plastic seal on the edge of it, but never remove the broken seal.
