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

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.
