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

Shut the **** up! Bear in mind they don't sing the lyrics, just blare an out of tune trumpet instead. Every England match all you can hear is that damn drum. How do they get in? How are their crappy instruments not confiscated? It doesn't fill me with patriotism, it fills me with a rage that makes me want to lob a white plastic garden chair across a piazza.

You missed the Great Escape

I knew it! As I typed that out I was sure I'd forgotten at least one.

I have a really pleasant commute up until the point that I confront:

People on the tram at Croydon.

The UK Electoral Website, and the form for registering to postal vote. It doesn't like the Danish characters æ and ø so it keeps rejecting my address.

Do you have family in the UK that you could register it with instead and get them to post it on?

Not sure if this counts as an irrational thing or not but people spreading misinformation about the law on the internet, now what I don't know about the law fills libraries but if I'm told something contrary to my previously held beliefs I'll acknowledge it and take it on board. Why can't other people do the same?

People that don't have a sense of humour, people who can't take sarcasm, people that take things far too seriously!!!
I hate the sound of slurping!!!!

None that I trust! My parents are in Egypt, and my brothers are probably finding ways of stopping me going back to the UK.

Me too! The guy I sit next to in the UK sucks his fingers after eating, and he's not exactly quiet. I can't stand it!

One of the blokes in work wanders into where my desk is, and reads what I am typing. It could be confidential stuff about a family I am working with. He doesn't even make a secret of his doing it, he even reads sentences I have typed out.

Is me not liking him doing that irrational? I have tried to say "none of your business," when he asks "whats that?" or called him nosey when he wanders in, but he doesnt seem to get the hint.

Next time he comes near your desk, turn the screen off?
