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

[Knipples]

People who sit at their desks making strange noises, talking to themselves constantly, and reading their emails out loud.

Oops.. I was just bopping in my seat

I'm sat next to him, and I keep thinking he's trying to talk to me, but he's not.
Bopping is fine, making noises like a mouse is being murdered inside your mouth is not.

Until a few months ago I had no idea who they were, and suddenly students came back to the university wearing their clothes pretty much exclusively. This, despite being told that apparently it's quite an elusive and upmarket brand. I was also told that their shops perpetuate this illusion by being like nightclubs - you have to queue outside to get in past the doorman and inside it's dark and sparse. Good marketing strategy for impressionable youths I guess but it doesn't mask their blatant douchebaggery.

And the clothes make the students look like toddlers dressed at Peacocks - all brightly coloured tops with giant letters on the front and checkered shirts. That's a shame in itself, because Peacocks make bloody good kids clothes for next to nothing and I feel bad about making the comparison.

Hmmm... I hate letters on clothes. I don't care about other people wearing them, I just have a personal hatred of having pretty much any kind of logo on my clothes. I particularly hate GAP for this, where everything they make has GAP written on the front in raggedy edged cloth lettering

Dunno why it bothers me so much, I suppose it's irrational. Like I said, I'm not fussed if anybody else wears clothes like that, it just annoys me when I'm shopping for myself. I suppose it's because I sometimes see something that I like and then discover some enormous print, or letters sewn onto it, or something and I think "Gah, I'd have bought that if you hadn't done that to it!!"

Only have 24hrs in a day, and only having 7 days in a week. Time for a change methinks.

"very unique".... Erm... no. It's either unique or it's not - you cannot have a grading of "uniqueness". :/

I quite often ask if they're talking to me or just talking to themselves and that usually elicits an embarrassed "oops" and gives me some peace and quiet for a little while. I don't do it all the time as that would just make me even more of a git but I do like to point it out to work colleagues every so often to wind them up a little.

Time machine or just a different calendar system?

My irrational annoyance is carelessness in news reporting which either leads to complete inaccuracies or simply misleading ideas being perpetrated.
