Irrational things that annoy you (and non irrational things too come to think of it) - Page 156

The England rugby union team. Hard to imagine a team more irrational than them

edit: For that matter the Ireland one. 4 games with barely a decent performance, and then finally they wake up when the tournament is just about to end.

It's the typical England problem in any sport - staying power. So often England seem to be doing well and then fall a hurdle or two short.

So I'll join you. Get your act together, England!

Companies that promise free quick delivery when they only offer either free and slow OR quick and costly delivery...

Royal Mail trying to deliver before 05:04 on 21/03/2011. You really expected someone to be able to sign for it at 05:04? Really?

Well they are irrational, and they annoy me!
Tried to get details from them how much they want to charge me to buy foreign currency with my debit card.

First of all they try and transfer me to their currency department (which a rubbish rate), then it's "maximum £4.50", so I'm like great, what's the percentage? This didn't make sense so tried asking the minimum, this also made no sense so suggested they give me some bands of costs. After another long wait on hold turns out it's £4.50, regardless.

Nationwide claims it's free. Guess which card I'm using.
God 'elp them if they charge me.

I've been known to take cash out and then exchange the cash. The banks don't get choice that way but make sure you take ID because this will raise eyebrows (money laundering).

People who don't look after their shoes :/

I.e. they have worn the shoe down because they haven't put on new heels.

And while we are with this - people who leave the stickers on new shoes - on the bottom
