Not irrational at all...
...but when supermarkets have four or five different versions of the same product on offer, e.g. tomatoes and one is priced £2.68/kg, another is 314p per kg another, is 65.8p per gram another is £1.75 for four, another is $8.75 per dozen!!!!

Why can't they, for the love of God use the same basis for pricing? Well, I know why - it's to sell more overpriced goods, obviously, but it makes my blood boil and my brain hurt working out which is the cheapest.

Unecessary Chocolate
I hate it when I go to buy a food product, and find that it's been "improved" by adding chocolate chips to it, or coating it in chocolate. Newsflash: if I want to taste chocolate, I'll buy fucking chocolate!

But it seems I am alone: the rest of the world thinks that everything -- EVERYTHING-- can be improved with the addition of chocolate.

Chocolate covered pickled onion, anyone?

oh, and conspiracy theorists too.
You can fuck off an' all. I'll admit that it is almost a certainty that there is life on other planets around other stars. Some may have civilisations, some may have advanced to having a space program. But, even if they had somehow managed to develop a way of travelling light years in a very short time, I find it hard to believe that they would come all this way to this shithole of a planet. And even if they did, would they keep hidden only allowing drunken rednecks to witness them? Would they really be so inhumane (or whatever the alien equivalent would be) to capture humans and perform Dr Mengele style experiments on them?

No, I can't see it myself.

People who believe in the paranormal
Each to their own I always say. Well not always, because otherwise I'd sound like I had chronic OCD. No, it's when they tell you about it in earnest and expect you to buy into it. My cousin has a photo on her Facebook and there's a blob of light on it and she claims it's an 'orb'. That seems to be a fairly recent invention in paranormal witterings. It's not an orb as in a blob of ghostly energy as you stupidly believe, it a bit of dust caught in the flash, or even a fleck of something on the lens you odious cretins.

And when one offers these more rational explanations, they won't have it.

Anime / Manga / Animated films
I like films. I like fantasy films. I like science fiction films. I like action films. I like romance films. In fact, I like just about every genre of film you can mention.

I am aware that all these genres are very well represented by the field of animated films. But I just can't stand them. Any of them. Be they from Japan, Hollywood or Whereverthefuck. I just have an irrational hate of all things cartoon.

I should like them. I know I should like them. I just don't.

Spiders used in advertising.
I'm not afraid of spiders but a lot of people are, so when I see one it makes me angry.

Not on behalf of arachnophobes - they can stick up for themselves, or run off, I don't care - but because the advertisers are being so darned stupid.

As arachnophobia is one of the two commonest fears, any product that's advertised with spidery imagery is going to repulse arachnophobes. So you can't sell that product to that quite large group of people. Seems pretty obvious to me.

(I have just one true phobia. When it was shown in my favourite TV series years ago I stopped watching there and then and have never seen it since, just in case. No, it wasn't a spider. I like spiders.)

Trolls
I hate with a firey passion the sad, slack lipped, knuckle dragging morons whose only presence on any forum is to post a rude and belittling comment on every thread they can. Spittling bile and misplaced anger at the world, they vomit up a reeking stomachfull of ill directed hate at anyone who can claim to have even a smidgen of happiness in their lives.
Perhaps it's an attempt to make their own tormented existence less soul crushingly empty. Perhaps it's just a cry for attention with the premise that even being hated, despised, and reviled is better than being ignored. Perhaps it's even a misguided attempt to make contact with the rest of the human race.

Our Government and European spaktards
I have an irrational hatred for our government and also all the european spackers who can't run their country properly.
Our government fucks up our economy and we have to pay more taxes and face huge cuts in everything to sort it out.
Other euro "cuntries" fuck up their economy and then ask for mahoosive amounts of money to sort it rather than impose all the shit we have in the uk.
Our fucking government knowing what a shit state our economy is in just say "yes have fuckwads of our cash, our minions will replace it for us with even higher taxes on fuel, ex fucking cetera". And we aren't even part of the twatting euro!!

Tell the bunch of money grabbing cunts to fuck right off.

Reversed footage on TV shows
This is a really odd one. I don't know when I started noticing it, but occasionally on a TV show they will need a pan across some vista for a few seconds, usually outdoors, usually to set the scene. And the director says "You know, that 3-second establishing shot would work better if we panned left-to-right instead of right-to-left. Have we got any left-to-right pans in the can? No?"

At this point they can, presumably, pack up a vanload of camera equipment and tootle off back to the place they were filming it, wait days for identical weather conditions (for continuity purposes) and get the required footage of a 3 second left-to-right pan.

Or they can just reverse the film. Not reflect left-to-right, but run the whole thing backwards in time.

This is fine and dandy until there's a flag, or a fire, or some smoke, or a waterfall, or some clouds, or a bird moving in the scene.

And then it just looks weird for 3 seconds. Just long enough to notice. This then breaks the flow of the narrative and I'm spending my time looking out for another one rather than ogling Billie Piper (or whatever).

There's even a law about it FFS
Apparently you cannot like both Science Fiction and Fantasy. This is because of an irreperable gulf between the two, because obviously one is based on real science and the other is all frippery-la-di-da witches and you're-a-wizard-Harry's.

Which is bollocks, because most sci-fi is just made up, plausibly scientific sounding nonsense that is just there so the author can show off. At best. Quite a lot of it seems to wilfully ignore the laws of physics in order to show something cool.

It's a bloody story, it's MADE UP either way.

on the upside - managed to get a couple of beers in at the Fire Station pub next door to Waterloo whilst I waited :)
