Irrational things that annoy you (and non irrational things too come to think of it) - Page 25

'I'm not techically minded' - You mean you've got an IT problem and you can't be bothered to explain it properly or do the simple tests I've asked you to do? Like log on to another PC? You POS, go rot in hell.

OK, this isn't a 'computer' problem, it's a 'put the round peg in the round hole' problem. You know, like pre-school kids do with wooden blocks?

Double negatives - just received an application form and they had answered yes to one of the medical questions and then added "not no more" after it.
"I don't know nofink" is also a commonly heard expression around work too :|

Not really an irrational thing but, Comic Sans font. I *********** hate it and I still don't understand why people insist on using it even though in a working enviroment it doesn't look professional. It looks like you've let a 12 year old do the work for you

I'm half tempted to just delete the stupid font from the pc's in this office and be done with it.

I remember Lopez posted a brilliant pic berating Comic Sans ages ago. Will try and find it...

Edit: Failed. I have it saved somewhere at home though.

Agreed. In our tutor notes it says 'DO NOT USE COMIC SANS' for handouts

People spending their entire time at the cinema texting.
Went to see a 2hr and a half hour film and the entire time, some idiotic woman was texting practically non stop. She had it on silent but it had a very bright screen which kept distracting me as it was right in front of me.
I was extremely close to going to complain but I didn't want to miss any of the film :/

Mind you, that's not an irrational thing imo.
